Rosenthal's previous acting credits include three episodes of New Girl and NBC's would-be spinoff for The Office, The Farm. That effort is still scheduled to air as an episode of The Office later this season. Rosenthal has also appeared in Bridesmaids, Crazy Eyes and Saving Harmony.

Mom was among the first comedy pilots ordered by the network this season. It comes from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Lorre (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory) has an overall deal. Lorre is penning the pilot alongside frequent collaborators Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker. Lorre and Gorodetsky share executive producer credits, with Baker on as a producer.

Rosenthal is repped by Paradigm.
