Karen Chee is an Emmy-nominated writer and comedian from the Bay Area. She has written across genres for shows like A MAN ON THE INSIDE, PACHINKO, and LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS, as well as publications like The New Yorker and The New York Times. As a comedian, Karen has performed both in esteemed venues like the Kennedy Center and the Greek Theater, and—if we’re being in honest, much more often—in dank basements in New York City, where she once made eye contact with a rat during a show. Karen was on Vulture’s Comedians to Know list and Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood, and is a regular panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! She recently moved to LA to work on DIG, the new Mike Schur + Amy Poehler show for Peacock. In her free time, Karen likes to read and rock climb and learn new hobbies.
