Lee began taking methamphetamine and marijuana around 12 and went through three drug-rehabilitation attempts, ending his meth abuse around 17. During his period of drug abuse, Lee claims that he not only competed in a wrestling tournament but won under the influence of methamphetamine and LSD. When he started MADtv, a producer told him that “he wasn’t funny and that they wouldn’t use him in the show very often.” Unable to handle the pressure, Lee relapsed on Vicodin and ended 12 years of sobriety. He got sober after MADtv producer Lauren Dombrowski fought for him after he was fired from the show a second time. Dombrowski died of cancer on October 8, 2008 in Los Angeles at the age of 51. Lee said that one of the only times he has ever cried was at Dombrowski’s funeral. On TigerBelly Episode 224, Lee admitted to guest Theo Von that he had relapsed after his father’s death in August 2019. At the time of recording, he was 11 days sober and had recently left rehab.

Lee has admitted in several interviews that his parents had hoped he would continue on with the family business and were less than supportive of his comedic pursuits at first. During a podcast interview conducted by fellow actor and comedian Joe Rogan on February 1, 2011, Lee stated that during the first few years he did stand-up his parents barely spoke to him, however after his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno his father called him and asked how much he had to pay to be on the show and then apologized for not supporting his comedy career.

In 2005, comedian Joe Rogan wrote a post on his website publicly accusing Carlos Mencia of being a plagiarist, alleging that Mencia stole jokes from a number of comedians. On February 10, 2007, Rogan confronted Mencia on stage at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard and continued his allegations of plagiarism. Mencia addressed the issue of plagiarism in two hour-long interviews with comic Marc Maron on his podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, in May 2010. Lee was brought into the controversy as he has long history with Mencia and was seen as being in Mencia’s camp. On the Norm Macdonald Live show, Lee talked about Brian Redban’s Deathsquad network (Deathsquad is made up of a number of comedians like Ari Shaffir, Redban, Joey CoCo Diaz, Tony Hinchcliffe) trying to derail his career over the Mencia controversy.

In 2016, the podcast was reported in multiple media outlets after guest Margaret Cho in Episode 71 recalled an email exchange between her and actress Tilda Swinton over the controversial Ancient One casting in Doctor Strange (2016).
