Early Years
Chelsea Peretti was born on February 20th 1978 in Oakland in California. This talented comedian a born to a Jewish mother and Italian father. The family kept close to their heritage and was very proud of it. She spent most of her childhood in Oakland and did things that most kids her age do.
She grew up with three siblings, two brothers and one sister. Her older brother is actually the very successful Jonah Peretti who is the co –founder of The Huffington Post and Buzz Feed. So the Peretti family has several successful family members to be proud of.
She went to the College Preparatory school and later moved to New York where she attended the Bernard College. During her time on college she studied one year abroad on the London’s Royal Holloway and ended up graduating in 2000.
She wanted to finish college before she stared working, and that was one of her life’s goals. Another interesting thing about Chelsea is that she went to elementary school together with her Brooklyn 99 costar Andy Samberg. Moshe Kasher, also fellow comedian, went with Chelsea to junior high.
So, all her life she encountered equally talented people who later came back into her life.
The actress and Key and Peele co-creator Jordan Peele have been dating since 2013. In November 2015, the two got engaged and got married a year later in April. At the ceremony, only her dog was present next to the two.
In February 2017, Peretti announced that she will become a mother, son Beaumont Gino Peele was born on July 1, 2017.
Career Path
Chelsea began her career by writing for the Village Voice, Playgirl, Details and the Huffington Post. After being a writer for several years, she decided to try her luck on TV.
She moved to LA and started doing smaller roles such as ones in Louie, Kroll Show, and TruTV Presents: World’s Dumbest and many others.
She also wrote six episodes of the popular comedy show Parks and Recreation in the season 2011-2012. From the 2013 until 2019 she was a regular star on the show Brooklyn 99 where she portrayed the role of Gina Linetti. His last episode on the show aired in January 2019.
The inimitable Gina, announced that she was leaving the series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, in a message that could only be the image of her character: hilarious.
The last few months have not been easy for Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans. After five seasons of laughter, the Fox decided last May to cancel the series before it was saved in extremis by another giant of the television, the channel NBC at which the co-creator of the series, Michael Schur had already proved himself (Parks and Recreation, The Good Place and The Office, as a screenwriter).
With a season 6 scheduled for 2019, fans could be relieved. But not for long. Another bad news is jostling their favorite series: the departure of Chelsea Peretti, aka the extravagant Gina, during this next season.
Faithful to her self-proclaimed self-styled character, Gina Linetti’s interpreter has taken up Emmy Rossum’s letter to extract a few quotes: “It’s hard to put words on feelings, but I’ll try. (…) There are these real connections, these real friendships that brought us back season after season after season. (…) I taught Emma to shave her legs. (…) This kind of stability, this family, nourished me and allowed me to feel safe enough to stretch and grow creatively, “she said, among others, selected in the text.
After she left Brooklyn 99, Chelsea had a role in a film Variety SHAC which is a comedy troupe from 2004.
She performed together with Heather Lawless, Andrea Rosen and Shonali Bhowmik. The troupe had a major success and Chelsea was quite an attraction due to her performance in a popular show.
Chelsea also had several appearances in the You made it weird with Pete Holmes, How did this get made, The Todd Glass Show, The Bone Zone and many others. In 2010 she was on the Variety’s list of top 10 comics to watch that year.
Her Twitter account was on the number 75 of 75 Best Twitter accounts in 2014. Chelsea Peretti, Brooklyn Gina Nine Nine, will be leaving the regular cast from season six.
According to the actress herself, she will not do any episodes of the new season, but that does not mean she will not be able to return for special sitcoms on the sitcom.
I want to thank you for all the hours you watched Gina being Gina: confident, stupid but smart and full of rhythm and cellphone radiation.
Peretti plays secretary Gina since season one. Since then, she has had many striking scenes and stole the scene in several episodes. In the fifth season, the actress departed from production due to her pregnancy (she is married to director Jordan Peele).
The actress has already recorded part of the sixth season and her character must have an outcome within the narrative. She is expected to return as a guest actress at some point. In addition to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Peretti has his comedy specials and starred in Game Night, Big Mouth and the independent film Friendsgiving.

The first four seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine are available on Netflix. The farm was not officially broadcast in Brazil and is not expected to be released here.
Chelsea is still active on all fields and her estimated her net worth is around 3$ million. Her wealth will probably go up in the following years so we can expect that Chelsea might even come up with a show of her own. Considering her talent and comedy skills, she could easily have a show of her own and become a host.
Most of her net worth comes from her comedy engagements and appearance and in the Brooklyn 99. What she has in store for the future, we have to wait and see.
