Born into a dysfunctional family, Samantha was raised by her grandmother, who was a secretary at the Catholic school which Samantha went to during her childhood. Samantha also attended Humberside Collegiate Institute and York Memorial Collegiate Institute. Following her high school matriculation, Samantha enrolled at McGill University to study humanities, however, she wasn’t satisfied with the program, and soon after transferred to the University of Ottawa. There, Samantha started taking theatre classes and found out that her calling was acting, and as a result attended the George Brown Theatre School in Toronto.

Working as an actress in her early 20s, Samantha began auditioning for roles in Toronto, and when aged 26 she became a part of the “Sailor Moon” stage production, playing the titular role. She also became one of the founding members of the comedy-sketch group The Atomic Fireballs, which also helped her hone her comedy and acting skills. Her luck changed in 2003, when she was chosen as the first female correspondent for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”, and for the next 12 years Samantha built a name for herself as a comedian, and reporter, having various segments in the show, including “Kill Drill”, “Samantha Bee’s So You Want To Bee A…”, and “NILFs”, among others, adding considerably to her net worth.
