Zayid started her acting career by appearing on the popular soap opera As the World Turns for two years, as well as guest appearances on Law & OrderNBC Nightly News and ABC's 20/20.

During her early acting experiences, she found her disability and ethnicity repeatedly limiting to her advancement. Zayid then turned to stand-up and began appearing at New York's top clubs, including Caroline'sGotham, and Stand Up NY, where she takes on serious topics such as the Israel-Palestine conflict.[citation needed]

She co-founded the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival in 2003 with comedian Dean Obeidallah. It is held annually in New York City and showcases Arab-American comics, actors, playwrights and filmmakers.

Zayid had a role in the 2008 Adam Sandler film, You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

Zayid can be seen in the 2013 documentary The Muslims Are Coming!, which features a group of Muslim American stand up comedians touring the United States in an effort to counter Islamophobia, as well as various celebrities including Jon StewartDavid CrossJaneane Garofalo and  Rachel Maddow. In December that same year she appeared on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on December 30, 2013 as part of a panel of comedian commentators. She has also presented at the TED annual conference and her TED Talk has been viewed approximately 1 billion times.

In June 2016 it was announced that Zayid would be developing a series about her life with Lindsey Beer.
