Getting into comedy was a no-brainer for Jamie Lee. She was "obsessed" with Wayne's World growing up, and went to comedy shows in Dallas. Watching HBO specials with her mom also fueled her passion for laughter, according to The Sentry.
She got a job in publicity at Comedy Central after college and was thrilled to be there even though she didn't totally understand her department. "I had to watch all of these stand-up comedians for work and I had an 'ah-ha' moment one day sitting at my desk, and I thought 'oh I think I want to try that,'" she said.
Starring on MTV's Girl Code was a turning point in Lee's comedy journey. It's obvious that Lee really came into her own as a comedian on the show.
"Being on Girl Code was great because it was the first time that I was on television known for my point of view," she told the outlet. "Each girl in the cast brought something different to the table. Everyone had their own unique take on whatever the topic was. I was allowed to be myself, which is exciting because when people come see me live they say, "Oh, it's the girl from Girl Code!" It's not like I catch them off guard with a new personality, because I'm not on TV playing a character — I'm just me."
