Early life and career edit

Chee was born on February 22, 1995. Her parents emigrated to the United States from South Korea.[4]

Chee originally wanted to become a speechwriter, but became interested in pursuing professional comedy by the time she enrolled at Harvard College.[4] During college, she was president of The Immediate Gratification Players, an improvisational comedy troupe, and founded a sketch comedy show.[2]

Chee interned at Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she appeared on air alongside Keegan-Michael Key.[2] She contributed to publications including McSweeney's, Reductress, and The New Yorker.[5] She also wrote for the 2019 Golden Globes for hosts Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh.[3][6]

In early 2019, Chee joined Late Night with Seth Meyers. She has appeared on air for a recurring segment called What Does Karen Know?, in which Meyers and Chee quiz each other about cultural touchstones which their respective generations take for granted.[7]

Personal life edit

Chee lives in Brooklyn, New York.[8] In 2020, she temporarily relocated to South Korea to help take care of her grandparents. She continued to write remotely for Late Night.[9]
