Melissa worked as an editor on Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News for the entirety of its three-season run.

SCPTOTN premiered in April 2020 on what was later rebranded as Paramount+ before moving to Comedy Central for its third and final season. During its run, the program was nominated for two Emmys, a WGA Award, a Critics Choice Award and a PGA Award.

The series featured a cast of animated characters, led by anchor James Smartwood, mocking news of the day, and interviewing real world guests and newsmakers.

Produced by CBS Television Studios, the series was exec produced by Colbert, RJ Fried, Tim Luecke, Mike Leech, Zach Smilovitz and Nicole Savini.

During her time on the series, Melissa edited the episode line cut, special report segments, weekly promos, and digital exclusive content. She also sound designed and edited animatics for the animation-heavy interstitials.
