Biografia
Sue Nelson, a stand-up comedian, actress, and writer, was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. She has been likened to a blend of a young Goldie Hawn and Bernadette Peters, and was once mistaken for Jenny McCarthy by a very intoxicated man. At 16, she landed her first film role as a young cowgirl in the western "Buckeye," where her emotional line, "They're not outlaws, they're rebels, they're Southern patriots!!!," moved the few viewers who rented the movie.
As a stand-up comedian, Sue quickly captivates audiences with her charm and energetic stage presence. Her unique "Blonde Hair & Blue Collar" style draws on her distinctive background, which includes a family of NASCAR drivers. She has performed across Los Angeles at venues such as The Improv, The Comedy Store, and The Ice House, and tours nationally. Sue was a semi-finalist on Comedy Central's "Laugh Riots" and a finalist on Ed McMahon's "Next Big Star." Recently, she served as the warm-up comic for Discovery Health Channel’s "Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew."
Her recent television appearances include roles on "The Office," "According To Jim," "Las Vegas," "E.R.," and "The King of Queens." She stars in all 13 episodes of the animated sketch comedy series "The Greedy Show," alongside Jim Belushi and Danny Breen, for Atom Films, where she also contributed as a writer. Sue has showcased her sketch comedy skills on "Talk Soup" and "The Tonight Show."
Sue’s hosting experience includes the pilot "Mobi Astrology" for the Sprint Network, "People's Choice" for the Comedy Time Network, "Car Stuff" on the Speed Channel, and "Smart Gardening," a series of entertaining videos promoting environmental awareness.
Her professional comedy writing began with the dating/game show "BZZZ!" She has worked as a segment producer for Walt Disney World productions like "Star Search" and "Talk Soup," as well as "CD Highway" on PBS and "Lifestyles of the Rich and Furry" on My Pet Television—a project she humorously refers to as a career low. With her combined talents in writing, improv, production, and stand-up, Sue Nelson is a versatile and engaging TV host.
