On April 12, 2022, ExtraEmily placed 2nd in One True King's "Schooled", a show loosely based on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?.

On April 26, 2022, ExtraEmily was invited to the season finale of "Schooled" as multiple competitors had called in sick. ExtraEmily placed 2nd again, but as the shows victor was exposed for cheating, she was eventually crowned the winner[10]. Following her victory she was awarded $50,000, and was invited to visit Mizkif along with all members of One True King in Austin, Texas[11].

On October 20, 2023, during TwitchCon, ExtraEmily won a popular vote to become the official emote of the event. This made ExtraEmily the first person ever to have an animated emote available across all of Twitch. The emote depicts a scene from one of ExtraEmily's earlier streams, in which she buried herself inside a trash bin using mulch until only her head was sticking out[17][18][8].

On January 4, 2024, ExtraEmily had a viral incident when cooking steak in an Outback Steakhouse parking lot as part of an "IRL challenge", in which a bystander assumed she was cooking Crack cocaine[5][19][20].
