As an infant and small child, Morgan appeared in advertisements for Gerber baby food, Kenner Toys, and most famously, an ad for McDonald's, where she recited the ingredients of the Big Mac to a game of Pat A Cake, Pat A Cake Bakers Man. Ironically, Morgan's parents refused to let her watch television as a child, so she made up for lost hours of television time by playing video games. She began with an Atari, primarily the game Combat, but as technology progressed, The Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star became two of her favorite games.

Morgan was always developing her computer skills in her free time at Berkeley, and after graduating college, began working for a dot-com company as a website administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, her friend Catherine Schwartz pulled her in at TechTV in 2001 and she became employed as an associate producer of The Screen Savers. Thanks to her extremely vast self-taught knowledge of computers and technology, she was quickly promoted to an on-screen member of the program where she presented daily in-depth segments dealing with Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, and on select occasions hosted the show herself. In April 2003, Morgan left The Screen Savers to co-host X-Play with Adam Sessler.
