Pete Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This happened after Jimmy personally
attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the
show. Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in
Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to
pursue a career in entertainment. In 2005, Pete flew to New York to make his
television debut on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, and the taping went so
well that he decided to move to NYC. Soon after moving to NYC, he was
selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal,
where he was voted a standout performer. In 2008 Pete made his network
television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing finishing as a semi-
finalist. That same year, he made his television acting debut on the CBS Soap
Opera As The World Turns. At the end of 2008, he shot his own Comedy
Central Half Hour Special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs,
and the opportunity to perform over the next ten years at 500 colleges across the
country.
In 2010 Pete began producing and editing his own shows for the Internet which
led to getting his own web show on MSN.com called New York Minute:30. His
web shows attracted the attention of television talent scouts and in 2012 he was
hired to be a writer and cast member on FUSE TV’s Video on Trial and the NFL
Network’s Top 10’s. In 2013, Pete was hired as a cast member on VH1’s Best
Week Ever, where he was a writer and cast member for three seasons. That
same year, he made his late night television debut on CBS’s Late Show with
David Letterman.
Currently, Pete is a cast member of TruTV’s Greatest Ever and he hosts his
own segment on Nickelodeon’s Nick Toons, in co-ordination with
the NFL, called NFL Rush. He’s also a regular on TruTV’s Comedy Knockout
and Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. And he starred in a documentary titled I
Need You to K*ll that is now available on iTunes and Amazon.
