After graduating from college, Nancy started taking classes at The Second City Theatre in Chicago. It was there that she met her future husband, who was her teacher in an improvisation class. During a 2015 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Steve explained that — when Nancy wasn't taking classes — she worked at a bar across the street from the theatre, and he often stopped in to talk to her (though it took weeks of flirting before Nancy finally asked him out).
