A daily house-sitting vlog to fight boredom in 2007 turned into five years and over 1,500 episodes of DailyGrace, a Netflix film, an E! talk show, and a Hanna-Barbera voice role — Grace Helbig's path through nearly two decades of internet comedy.

About Grace Helbig: American Comedian, Actress & YouTuber

Grace Helbig grew up in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey, competed as a pole-vaulter at Gateway Regional High School, and graduated summa cum laude from Ramapo College with a degree in digital filmmaking. She started daily vlogging in November 2007 while house-sitting to fight boredom, which led My Damn Channel to launch her as DailyGrace in April 2008 — a series she wrote and hosted daily for five years, publishing over 1,500 episodes before leaving in 2014. She co-starred with Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart in the Netflix-acquired comedy Camp Takota (2014), hosted her own late-night style talk show, The Grace Helbig Show, on E! in 2015, and voiced Cindy Bear in HBO Max's animated series Jellystone! from 2021 to 2025. She has written two comedic Millennial-handbook style books, Grace's Guide (2014) and Grace & Style (2016), both illustrated with her own signature humor. Since 2018 she has co-created and co-hosted the podcast This Might Get Weird with longtime collaborator Mamrie Hart, and continues to upload comedy and craft videos to her main YouTube channel.
