Micucci was originally cast as Jimmy's cousin in the pilot that was filmed December 2009.[11][12] Her role was recast by Skyler Stone as Mike,[12] changing the character Micucci originated from Jimmy's cousin to Sabrina's cousin, Shelley.[13]

From 2009 to October 2011, she performed "Playin' with Micucci" on the third Monday of the month at The Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood, California.[14][15] In the act, she presented "songs and stories in [a] musical variety show."[16][failed verification][17] Micucci said the title was the only dirty aspect of the show.
