Carden had a recurring role as Gemma in the Comedy Central comedy series Broad City (2014–2019),[11] a series created by fellow UCB alumnae Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson.[6] Carden also appeared in guest roles in the comedy series Inside Amy Schumer (2015), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2016), and Veep (2017).[3] Following small roles in the parody film iSteve (2013) and the romantic comedy The To Do List (2013), she appeared as Jessica in the acclaimed comedy-drama film Other People (2016).[6]

In 2016, Carden began starring as Janet, a live virtual assistant,[16][17][18] in the NBC comedy series The Good Place,[11] which also stars Kristen Bell and Ted Danson.[3] For her performance in the series, she received critical acclaim and earned nominations for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Since 2018, Carden has had a recurring role as Natalie Greer in the HBO dark comedy-crime series Barry, starring Hader.[10][19] Along with her fellow cast members, she was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2018 and 2019.[20][21]
