She is a founding member of Montclair Film, as well as president of its board. The nonprofit organization has hosted the Montclair Film Festival every year since 2011. McGee also serves as vice president of Spartina Productions.
McGee studied to become an actress, but quickly moved to behind the scenes, working as director of development for both the Drama League of New York and the Remains Theater in Chicago. She later founded Spartina Productions alongside her husband, comedian Stephen Colbert. Through Spartina she has served as executive producer for Derek DelGaudio's In and Of Itself and the CBS late night panel show After Midnight. McGee also helped produce The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, from home, during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the show returned to its studio setting, McGee appeared on camera multiple times, often to help Colbert with the segment "First Drafts". With her husband, McGee has co-authored the cookbook Does This Taste Funny? (2024), featuring family recipes.
