Pete Lee is a standout comedian known for earning the first-ever standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—after Fallon saw Pete live and immediately booked him. Born and raised in Janesville, WI, Pete’s joyful humor is rooted in his Midwestern upbringing and quirky childhood.
He launched his TV career in 2005 on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, prompting a move to NYC. His quick rise included a standout performance at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival, a semi-finalist spot on Last Comic Standing, and his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, which led to a decade of college tours and a growing fanbase.
Pete’s creative drive took him online in 2010 with self-produced shows, landing him web series deals with MSN.com and writing gigs for FUSE TV and NFL Network. By 2013, he was a cast member and writer on VH1’s Best Week Ever and made his Late Show with David Letterman debut.
Currently, Pete appears on TruTV’s Greatest Ever, Comedy Knockout, and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. He also hosts NFL Rush on NickToons and stars in the comedy documentary I Need You to Kill, available on iTunes and Amazon.
