[edit] Early life
Nancy Carell was born in Cohasset, Massachusetts, to Robert and Carol Walls. Carell is an alumna of Boston College, where she was a member of My Mother's Fleabag, a popular improv comedy group on campus.
[edit] Career
She got her start in comedy at The Second City, and like many of the troupe's alumni went on to join the cast of Saturday Night Live (1995-96), where she was best known for her impression of CNN anchor Bobbie Battista. A few years later, she held a correspondent position on the satirical TV news program The Daily Show. She voiced the character of Helen Goode on ABC's The Goode Family, where she was credited for the first time as Nancy Carell instead of Nancy Walls. On The Office, the TV show in which her husband stars, Carell has occasionally guest starred as Carol Stills, the real estate agent and former girlfriend of Steve's character, Michael Scott.
[edit] Personal life
Her husband is fellow former The Daily Show correspondent, current star of "The Office" on NBC, Second City alumnus, and eastern Massachusetts native Steve Carell; the couple met at the Second City Training Center when she took a course taught by Carell. They have two children, Elisabeth Anne Carell (born May 25, 2001) and John Carell (born June 2004).
