She and former co-star Jimmie Walker lent their voices to a radio spot for AT&T. Stanis can currently be seen on a Nationwide Insurance commercial.

"Girlfriends" appearance

One of Stanis' most recent television appearances was on the UPN sitcom "Girlfriends". There she appeared as the cousin of quick-witted Maya Wilkes, played by Golden Brooks. In the episode, William Dent (Reggie Hayes) expresses a strong desire to meet Thelma from "Good Times". Maya reveals that Stanis is her cousin and agrees to arrange a date. The date is held in the show's popular hangout, Skia.

Will repeatedly refers to Bern Nadette Stanis as Thelma and talks about her "Good Times" family as if it were real. It initially upsets her, but after she sets Will straight, they agree to go on with a normal date. After a moment of silence, both Hayes and Stanis realize that there was not much to talk about, so she starts a new conversation as Thelma.
