Career

Williamson appeared in New York City theatre in the early 2000s, when she was portrayed by the Paragraph Talent Agency. She appeared in Eat the Runt, Avery Crozier's film about a job candidate's series of bizarre interviews at an art museum in 2000. The actors had to be able to perform every part of the performance during this production by Mefisto Theater Company at Altered Stages, and the audience received tickets that determined which actors were to be which. Lawrence Van Gelder, a New York Times reviewer, said the novel was exciting, but "the cast had probably more sustained pleasure than the audience." Williamson appeared in Eat the Runt at The American Place Theatre in 2001, this time without the regular role switching. She was the second in a row to apply for a museum degree, but the protagonist is actually her scorned love interest, who is only pretending to seek the position in order to damage her chances. She appeared in an Off Broadway production of Hunt Holman's Spanish Girl at the Second Stage Theatre in the summer of 2002. The film was about a college student who had a summer fling friendship with a 15-year-old girl and then tried to bring it to an end. Williamson played Jolene, the protagonist's good-willed college girlfriend who is unaware of his affair. Robert Dominguez, a New York Times reporter, praised her "excellent work." Williamson was described as a "hell of gravity" by Marjorie Gunner of New York City Voice, and she said she played the role "like the center of gravity" in the role.

Williamson appeared in the 2002 Off Broadway stage musical adaptation of Debbie Does Dallas, a 1978 pornographic film that was on view at the Jane Street Theater starting in October 2002. She portrayed Roberta, one of Debbie's most popular young friends who provide sexual services for hire. Williamson, as well as other female members of the cast, had been praised by The New York Times as "for the lack of a better word, adorable," and the pair appeared to be having a lot of fun as they search for better jobs." She performs "Make That Candle Work for You," a sexually themed duet in which Roberta and her manager sing at the candle store where Roberta works. Girls dance with candles shaped like erect penises during the performance. Williamson performed the song on the Debbie Does Dallas Original Cast Recording soundtrack, which was released on compact disc in 2003. In a Los Angeles Times review, her singing voice, as well as those of the remainder of the cast, was lauded. Williamson appeared in Sylvia, a comedy by A. R. Gurney, from October to November 2003 at Playhouse on the Green in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The program was about a dog (played by a human) named Sylvia, who is adopted by a couple, which adds to the drama in their marriage. "Jama Williamson is just not doggy enough," Irene Backalenick of the Connecticut Post said of Williamson's appearance, "he's playing it more like a spoiled teen." She is most convincing as Sylvia the dog when she lies down, putting her chin on Greg's knee."

In a production of the English Simon Mendes da Costa play Losing Louis, Williamson performed Bella Holland, the office assistant and mistress of a married man, starting in October 2006. The show opened with a controversial scene in which the protagonist performs oral sex on Williamson's behalf while his six-year-old son hides under the bed. Williamson herself has received mixed reviews, largely critical, and the show received mostly critical feedback. Williamson was one of the finest cast members, according to New York Times writer Charles Isherwood, but "the actors are unable to do much to refresh the coarse innuendoes or breathe life into the plot contrivances." Williamson added "dynamic assistance" to the show, according to Elysa Gardner of USA Today. Robert Feldberg, a North Jersey Media Group analyst who was critical of the program, said his appearance was amateurish and reminded him of "middling community theater." Feldberg said that other more experienced actors on the program were similarly bad, so Williamson's behavior could be attributed in large part to the director. Williamson and other cast members "fail to register in any credible manner," Williamson said backstage.

Williamson has appeared on several television shows, including the NBC legal drama Law & Order and the Comedy Central sketch comedy series Chappelle's Show, starring Dave Chappelle. She appeared as a jogger in the 2005 independent comedy drama film Duane Hopwood, as a pedestrian, and she also provided voice for pedestrian characters in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Williamson began appearing more often on television in the mid-2000s. Williamson appeared in a CBS Paramount Network Television pilot for the sitcom Three in 2005, in which she portrayed Annie, the wife of a character played by James Van Der Beek. Zachary Levinn played the happily married couple and their recently divorced male friend. The pilot was never sold.

Williamson appeared in a pilot episode of the sitcom Rules of Engagement in early 2007. Despite being picked up by CBS, Williamson's episode about him never aired. Williamson appeared in "Democracy," a third season episode of CBS drama series Numb3rs, which premiered on March 9, 2007. Jane Aliano played Jane Aliano, a woman who was kidnapped as a result of a voter fraud conspiracy that culminated in a string of murders throughout the series.

Williamson appeared in NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation as Wendy Haverford, the wife of regular character Tom Haverford played by Aziz Ansari, starting in May 2009. Wendy is a well-known surgeon with a warm personality, and many on the show are curious about her obsession with the sarcastic and overeager Tom. It is eventually revealed that the two people have a green card marriage to keep Wendy from being deported to Canada. Williamson appeared on "Rock Show" in the first season's finale, but he made regular appearances throughout the second season. Wendy and Tom were notably split after the December 2009 episode "Tom's Divorce," but they continued to appear afterward.

On the 2012 TeenNick film Hollywood Heights, Williamson portrayed Nora, the mother of Loren Tate (Brittany Underwood). Williamson appeared on Nickelodeon's School of Rock as Principal Mullins in 2016, and her role was elevated to series regular for the second season.

Williamson has appeared on NBC's The Good Place, portraying Val, an actress/secretary aligned with "The Bad Place" demons led by her boss Shawn's.
