Williams was raised in Rosemount, Minnesota where her father, Les, was a middle school math teacher. She was crowned as Minnesota's Junior Miss in 1985, and graduated from Rosemount High School shortly thereafter. Williams was active in theatre. Her classmates described her as smart, friendly and motivated, but most did not know her potential comedy skills.

She started her career as an assistant on "The Simpsons", occasionally doing voices, such as the voice of Amber Dempsey, a single-episode character from "Lisa the Beauty Queen".
