Karen Chee is a writer and performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers. She has previously written for the Golden Globes and the Amazon Prime Video special, Yearly Departed, has developed TV pilots for Netflix and Comedy Central, and has published humor pieces in The New Yorker and McSweeney's. All before the age of 27. No wonder she made Variety's "Power of Young Hollywood" list as well as Forbes "30 Under 30." Chee sat down with me to talk about getting an early start on her comedy career, how Twitter did or didn't help her get her dream gig, and how she has managed supporting her grandparents in Korea during the pandemic while still writing remotely for Late Night, and picking up a new gig writing for Pachinko on Apple TV+.
