Pete Lee wishes he could be a bad boy, but he’s still only been in one fight: “I got into a tussle with one of those motion sensor sinks,” the Wisconsinite comedian jokes. Self-described as tall, dark and pleasant, Lee’s comedy is hilariously harmless, making his own midwestern geniality the butt of most jokes. He does have a wild streak though, admitting in one bit to sniffing cocaine once. “I just wanted to smell it,” he says. “It smelled like energy and erectile dysfunction.” A frequent guest of the Tonight Show, Lee makes The Improv his home for the weekend.
