The Cut explained that, while you might recognize Michelle Buteau from Comedy Central, she's appeared alongside star-studded casts in movies as well. She appeared in a 2019 adaptation of First Wives Club. She also played Veronica alongside Ali Wong in Always Be My Maybe. The Wrap outlined that Buteau's acting career started around the time that she began her comedy career. In that time she's appeared in Broad City, Awkwafina is Nora From Queens, and Tales of the City.
If Buteau's voice is familiar to you then it may be because she has some time in her busy schedule to also host two seriously funny podcasts. She shares her insights on both Adulting and Late Night Whenever. To say that she's one of the busiest people in comedy right now doesn't feel like an overstatement.
Alongside all of her glamorous onscreen endeavors, Oprah Daily revealed that Buteau runs a seriously cool furniture shop with her husband in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn called Van Der Most Modern. In 2019 she told the New York Times, "I've always been into interiors, but in my 20s I didn't know what I was doing, and I didn't have a lot of money so it was always a Pier 1 clearance situation. My husband is just sort of 'Rain Man' when it comes to designers. He's from the Netherlands."
