Every comedian in America seems to have a Bobby Lee story. Known in his younger days for his wild party lifestyle as much as his hilarious stand-up routine and skits on Mad TV, Korean-American Lee has long been popular among fans for his unfiltered willingness to say anything on stage or on his podcast regardless of reaction or consequences. As well as continuing to tour as a much-in-demand stand-up comedian, Bobby Lee is the host of two immensely popular podcasts, the TigerBelly podcast and the Bad Friends podcast (with Andrew Santino), occasionally touring to do shows from his two podcasts in front of live audiences. Bobby Lee is also well known as a comedic actor, having played roles in movies such as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Pineapple Express, and The Dictator, as well as TV shows such as Reservation Dogs and Splitting Up Together.
Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly podcast is known as one of the funniest, wildest, and most popular podcasts on the American comedy scene in recent years. Since 2015, Bobby and his long-time girlfriend, Khalyla Kuhn, have entertained their audience with weekly podcasts featuring everyone from comedians and musicians to porn stars and actors. While Bobby and Khalyla are no longer together as a couple as of 2023, they continue to do the podcast together, leading to much speculation among fans due to how open they have been about their relationship on the podcast (despite rumors of Bobby and Khalyla getting back together, it seems increasingly unlikely that this will happen). If anything, Bobby and Khalyla’s split has only increased their podcast’s listenership.
Bobby Lee’s Bad Friends podcast with red-headed comedian Andrew Santino involves a weekly free-form conversation between these two popular comedians, pontificating about everything and nothing at all. Generally, the insults and mockery fly fast back and forth between Lee and Santino as they trade barbs, stories, and jokes. One of the pair’s most popular episodes of all time was their “Family Feud” episode, in which they did a hilarious (and rude!) parody of the popular American game show.
Podcast listeners everywhere were shocked in late January of 2024 when Bobby Lee appeared on the JRE (The Joe Rogan Experience) for Episode 2090 of the world’s most popular podcast. Lee and Rogan have long been friends, but it was the first time that Lee had ever been on the show, and Lee did not disappoint over the two-hour chat, with plenty of rants and laughs. He even set off an internet search firestorm with his story about a movie director who had called him a racial slur on set in the 1990s (fans have speculated that this may have been Joe Pytka, but this has not been confirmed).
As well as his stand-up and podcast work, Bobby Lee is also well known as an actor, appearing in various supporting roles over the years in movies and TV shows.
Here is a list of Bobby Lee’s best-known movies:
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

Inside Job
Bobby Lee is unique as a stand-up comedian in that he has never done a comedy special before despite being encouraged to do so by friends, fellow comedians, and fans. The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but Lee has explained that the thought of doing a special gives him a strange certain type of anxiety. Maybe he will one day—we’ll have to wait and see!

Bobby Lee loves to perform with other comedians in podcasts or live podcast shows, as well as alongside them at comedy festivals or other gigs. This summer, he will be a supporting act on Bert Kreischer’s Fully Loaded Tour and the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival (headliner: Tom Segura).
Bobby Lee’s live comedy sets tend to include some polished material, some improv, and some new jokes he is working on. Lee’s comedy is known to be fairly edgy but also quite relatable due to his willingness to be open about his own flaws and weaknesses (sometimes too open?). Here are a few of his favorite topics:
Political correctness
Racism and race
Asian Americans
Relationships
Gender relations and gender
Drugs, alcohol, partying
Sex
Because Lee is Korean-American and is known for frequently featuring Asian-American comedians and performers on his podcast, he often jokes about cultural differences between himself and his parents as well as issues affecting Asian Americans. Unlike some current comedians, however, Lee never leans too hard into this lane (or gets too serious about it), which makes him relatable to fans of all backgrounds.
Bobby Lee is performing in two large summer comedy tours this summer as a supporting act (see below).
