Carell got her start in comedy at
The Second City in
Chicago and, like many of the troupe's alumni, went on to join the cast of
Saturday Night Live (1995–1996), where she was best known for her
impression of
CNN anchor Bobbie Battista. She later held a correspondent position on the satirical
TV news program
The Daily Show. She voiced the character of Helen Goode on the
Mike Judge-created animated series
The Goode Family on
ABC, where she was credited for the first time as Nancy Carell instead of Nancy Walls. Carell occasionally guest-starred on
The Office, which starred her husband,
Steve Carell, until 2013, as
Carol Stills, a
real estate agent and former girlfriend of her husband's character,
Michael Scott. She also had a brief appearance in the movie
Bridesmaids. Carell and her husband, Steve, created the
TBS comedy series
Angie Tribeca starring
Rashida Jones. The series premiered on January 17, 2016. ==Personal life==
