Samantha Bee hails from Toronto, Canada and considers herself an American-In-Training. Bee graduated from the University of Ottawa and liberated herself from the shackles of higher learning to seek a prestigious career in the field of acting.

Four empty years later, Bee turned to comedy in a desperate bid to keep her brain alive. Since then, she has been writing and producing shows with her acclaimed all-female sketch comedy troupe "The Atomic Fireballs." She has also appeared in numerous commercial ad campaigns for Pillsbury, Kraft, Budweiser and Ford, among others, across Canada and the U.S.

Bee lives in one room in Manhattan which she has optimistically divided into various "living spaces" through the clever use of area rugs.
