Malone practiced auditioning for a TCM broadcast channel hosting role by recording the introductions made by Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz, then writing out the scripts, and then practiced reading those scripts in front of a camera. In 2017, she auditioned for a Turner Classic Movies hosting role, and the following January, in 2018, she was hired by the network. She said that in order to prepare for work as a host on TCM, she needs to watch all of the films which are to screen on TCM, do research in order to understand the background behind the films, and also know how to expertly read a teleprompter.[4]

Malone has presented two separate TEDx talks on obstacles women have faced in the movie industry. The first which she presented on December 20, 2015 was entitled #GirlsInFilm for TEDxSanJuanIsland.

She presented this TED talk for TEDxBend. She told stories of the history of Hollywood, and how women have argued that women needed to be directors so that more than one type of story would be told.[6]
