Carell and her husband, Steve, created the TBS comedy series Angie Tribeca starring Rashida Jones. The series premiered on January 17, 2016.

Carell is married to actor-comedian Steve Carell, whom she met when she was a student in an improvisation class he was teaching at Second City. They have two children: a daughter Elisabeth (born in 2001) and son John (born in 2004).

Carell got her start in comedy at The Second City in Chicago and, like many of the troupe's alumni, went on to join the cast of Saturday Night Live (1995–96), where she was best known for her impression of CNN anchor Bobbie Battista. She later held a correspondent position on the satirical TV news program The Daily Show. She voiced the character of Helen Goode on the Mike Judge-created animated series The Goode Family on ABC, where she was credited for the first time as Nancy Carell instead of Nancy Walls. Carell occasionally guest-starred on The Office, which starred her husband, Steve Carell, until 2011, as Carole Stills, a real estate agent and former girlfriend of her husband's character, Michael Scott. She also had a brief appearance in the movie Bridesmaids.

Carell was born and raised in Cohasset, Massachusetts. She attended Boston College where she graduated in 1988. While a student at BCCI, she was a member of the improvisational troupe "My Mother's Fleabag."
