She and friend Kathy Najimy wrote and starred in two off-Broadway shows, The Kathy and Mo Show: Parallel Lives and The Kathy and Mo Show: The Dark Side, both of which won Obie Awards. She also appeared in Seasons 4 and 5 of That '70s Show as Joanne Stupak, Bob Pinciotti's girlfriend, had a recurring role in Mad About You and guest starred in Friends. In addition, she appeared in the Kirstie Alley/Kirsten Dunst black comedy about beauty pageants, Drop Dead Gorgeous.

Gaffney went on to team up with Jennifer Saunders with a recurring role as Bo in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous; in 2004, talks of a spin-off show began but nothing surfaced. She is currently co-host of the "Women Aloud" radio program on Greenstone Media.
