In 2003, Kirkman entered Nickelodeon's "America's Funniest Kid" competition and won the highly-coveted spot as a regular performer on All That. In part of her audition she was asked to do a skit in which she met Jay Leno. She had never heard of Leno because she had never stayed up late, so she said "Who the heck is Jay Leno?" and instead pretended to talk to Leno's bodyguard. When asked if she thought she was going get into the All That cast, she responded, "I thought I had NO chance!" with a laugh.
Christina got to join the cast of All That after winning the contest. Christina had always dreamed of being on All That. In season 9, she made her first appearance in the second episode.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or career:
“The general review of the past tends to satisfy me with my political life. No man, I suppose, ever came up to his ideal. The first half [of] my political life was first to resist the increase of slavery and secondly to destroy it.... The second half of my political life has been to rebuild, and to get rid of the despotic and corrupting tendencies and the animosities of the war, and other legacies of slavery.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
