In 2008, Patrick moved to Los Angeles to direct The Ellen DeGeneres Show, becoming the show's first female director. She spent 13 seasons at Ellen, directing a total of 2,195 episodes. In 2018, Patrick also became a producer of the show.
In 2021, Patrick became the director of Saturday Night Live,[2][3] making her the show's fifth director, and only second female director (behind Beth McCarthy-Miller),[4] in SNL's 47 year history. She replaced director Don Roy King, who retired December 2021.[5] At the start of the season, both King and Patrick co-directed together, with Patrick observing King on two episodes,[6] until Patrick started directing Saturday Night Live solo on January 15, 2022.
