Early Life and Education

Born on September 17, 1971, Lee was raised in Poway, California by his Korean immigrant parents, Jeanie and Robert Lee. Alongside his younger brother Steve, he grew up in the community. His parents were owners of clothing stores located in Escondido and Encinitas, California.

Lee has openly shared that he experienced sexual assault at the age of nine.

During his education, Lee attended Painted Rock Elementary School, Twin Peaks Middle School, and Poway High School. In high school, he was a member of a breakdancing team. At the age of 18, Lee moved out of his parents’ home and worked in various restaurants and coffee shops in the San Diego area while also attending Palomar College, although he eventually decided to discontinue his studies.

Personal Life

Lee’s journey through addiction began at a remarkably young age, with him experimenting with methamphetamine and marijuana around the age of 12. By the time he reached 15, he had also started using heroin, leading to a tumultuous period marked by three unsuccessful attempts at drug rehabilitation. However, at the age of 17, he finally achieved sobriety. Unfortunately, after receiving discouraging feedback from a producer, Lee experienced a relapse, succumbing to the allure of Vicodin and ending his twelve-year stretch of sobriety.

It was a turning point in his life when MADtv producer Lauren Dombrowski stepped in to support him after he was fired from the show for the second time. Lee openly discusses this significant event in his appearance on the pilot episode of Comedy Central’s TV series This Is Not Happening.

On a later episode of TigerBelly (episode 224), Lee admitted to guest Theo Von that he had relapsed following the passing of his father in August 2019 due to Parkinson’s disease. However, he was able to gather himself and seek rehabilitation once again, regaining his sobriety. Lee has since declared himself a recovering alcoholic.

Beyond his personal struggles, Lee has developed a long-standing affiliation with the Arsenal Football Club, displaying unwavering support for the team.

Additionally, Lee is an enthusiastic gamer and takes pleasure in playing various computer games such as FIFA, Stardew Valley, The Elder Scrolls, Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Witcher series.

In the realm of entertainment, Lee’s younger brother, Steve Lee, not only shares his passion for comedy but is also a musician. Steve hosts The Steebee Weebee podcast and co-hosts the Scissor Bros podcast alongside comedian Jeremiah Watkins. Audiences may recognize Steve from his appearances alongside Bobby on MADtv, particularly in sketches featuring characters like Kim Jong-il and Tank.

Career

Lee had a diverse range of jobs at cafes and restaurants before he decided to embark on a career in comedy. In 1994, he faced an unexpected turn of events when the coffee shop where he was employed suddenly closed down. Seizing the opportunity, he swiftly moved on to the neighboring establishment, which happened to be The Comedy Store in San Diego, also known as the La Jolla Comedy Store.

Initially taking up odd jobs at the club, he eventually mustered the courage to try his hand at stand-up comedy during one of their amateur nights. Within a year of regularly performing comedy sets, he received offers to open for renowned comedians Pauly Shore and Carlos Mencia. This led him to establish a steady presence at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, a comedy club owned by Pauly Shore’s mother, Mitzi.

Lee candidly shared that his parents initially held hopes of him joining the family business and were initially unsupportive of his comedic aspirations. During a podcast interview conducted by fellow actor and comedian Joe Rogan on February 1, 2011, Lee revealed that his parents barely communicated with him during the first few years of his stand-up comedy career. However, following his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, his father reached out to him. He inquired about the cost of being on the show, only to apologize afterward for not supporting Lee’s comedy career.

Incorporating his family into his comedic endeavors, Lee involved his younger brother in multiple non-speaking roles on MADtv, and they even appeared together as a family in a sketch on the show. Furthermore, in 2007, Lee pitched a sitcom idea to Comedy Central centered around a Korean family, intending to star his own real-life family.

Lee took on the role of hosting the 9th MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert in 2013.

Starting in 2020, Lee embarked on a new venture as the co-host of the Bad Friends podcast alongside Andrew Santino.

Bobby Lee’s Net worth 2023

As we discussed previously, Bobby Lee’s net worth is estimated to be around 1 million dollars. However, his total earnings throughout his career as a comedian, TV personality, and writer have actually surpassed five million dollars.

Unfortunately, Bobby has had a tendency to spend money recklessly, which has limited his ability to save. Moreover, he has battled alcoholism, but he proudly declares that he has triumphed over his struggles and has remained sober for the past four years. We hope that Bobby Lee continues to maintain his sobriety for the rest of his life.

Bobby Lee possesses the immense potential to amass wealth if he focuses on honing his craft rather than indulging in alcohol. It’s worth noting that he has also distanced himself from the world of drugs. Bobby Lee resides in Los Angeles and inhabits a modest apartment valued at around $500,000.
