Early life
Nosuchinsky is from Freehold Township, New Jersey. She went to the Performing Arts Center at Howell High School.[3] In 2010 she graduated from Rider University (summa cum laude[4]) with a BA in Fine Arts and a focus on theatre.[5] She has Italian and Ukrainian ancestry[6] and is Roman Catholic.[7]
Career
While looking through audition notices, Nosuchinsky answered one looking for pageant contestants despite never having competed in pageants before. She represented Hell's Kitchen for her win in the 2013 Miss New York USA competition. She competed in the Miss USA 2013 competition but failed to place in the Top 15. At the time of the pageants, Nosuchinsky performed in The Awesome 80s Prom, and continued to do so until the show closed.[8][9]
On September 18, 2013, Nosuchinsky first appeared as a guest panelist on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld on the Fox News Channel. Following the departure of Bill Schulz in November 2013, her appearances led to her becoming a full-time panelist as of the February 4, 2014 episode. As of May 31, 2015, she was also a regular contributor on FNC's The Greg Gutfeld Show on late Saturday evenings. On the Red Eye w/ Tom Shillue broadcast at 12:00am on August 5, 2016 Nosuchinsky stated that after two and half years at Fox News, she would be leaving the network. On the August 6, 2016 broadcast of Red Eye, her last, Nosuchinsky stated that she was leaving Fox News to pursue an acting career.[10]
Kung Flu Fighting Incident
On March 19, 2020, Nosuchinsky appeared in a video posted to Twitter[11] and Instagram[12] by Chrissie Mayr, singing a version of the popular 1990s hit, Kung Fu Fighting by changing the lyrics to "Kung Flu Fighting". The song was interpreted by some to be mocking those of Chinese descent in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and the video drew immediate backlash and criticism.[13][14][15][16] While social media users claimed they were appalled by the alleged display of racism in the video, others ridiculed the use of the word "celebrity" and "comedian" in the caption.[15]
