Choi is a second-generation Korean-American who grew up in Vienna, Virginia.[1] She attended George C. Marshall High School, where she started an online satirical magazine called the Scuttlebutt.[3] Choi graduated from Harvard University.[4] At Harvard, she was president of an improv troupe, but left after she came under fire for her public criticism of the Harvard Lampoon. She later said "It made me realize everything about being a woman of color in comedy is true, and worse than people say."[5]

In 2021, she became an intern on Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me! She is credited with revitalizing their Instagram account.[6] In February 2022, she became host of Wait Wait spinoff podcast Everyone & Their Mom. That show was cancelled in March 2023 due to a $30 million budget shortfall at NPR.[1]
