John Lee (PFFR)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Lee (born circa 1972) is an American television writer, producer, director, voice actor and musician. He is best known for his work on the MTV2 comedy series Wonder Showzen and as a member of the rock band/art collective PFFR.

Lee is long time friends with fellow PFFR member and television writer Vernon Chatman. They met as undergraduates at San Francisco State University.[1] Along with Chatman, Lee is the co-creator, writer, director and star of Wonder Showzen. He voices two of the main puppet characters Wordsworth and Him (see main article List of Wonder Showzen characters) and provides various other voices on the show.[2] The pair also co-created Snoop Dogg's 2002 MTV sketch show Doggy Fizzle Televizzle.

Lee used to be a member of the now defunct rock trio Muckafurgason. Although his primary role in the band was the bassist, the members of Muckafurgason were often known to "play musical chairs" with their instruments, seeing Lee ocasionally turn his hand to lead vocals, guitar and even clarinette.[3]

He is married to fellow PFFR member Alyson Levy.
