She has appeared in a range of comedy television series on the ABC and SBS, including The Feed and several programs by The Chaser team. She is also the host of the ABC quiz show Win the Week, starring alongside Craig Reucassel. Lee was born to an Australian mother and a Chinese father, who met in Sydney in 1975, grew up in Southern Sydney, and studied journalism at the University of Sydney.

Lee began her career in journalism as a producer for ABC News 24, took part in the Walkley Foundation's Australia-Korea Media Exchange Program, and later became a political reporter for BuzzFeed.

A segment she presented about radio shock-jock Alan Jones prompted a lawsuit from Jones in 2020, which was settled later that year without any apology or financial compensation required. In 2021 she was announced as host of the ABC quiz show Win the Week, and in 2026 she hosted Tonight at The Museum, a comedy panel show filmed at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
