As an avid actor on screen, he has recently been seen in "Trainwreck," "Power Rangers," "South Park," and "The BFG." Other classics with Hader include "Inside Out" and "Superbad." Hader's wife, however, is less well known, as Maggie Carey generally works behind the scenes, but equally as talented. To learn more about the couple as their divorce becomes more well known, here is everything you need to know about Hader's wife as a talented director and screenwriter.

Maggie Carey was born in 1975 in Boise, Idaho, to two traditional and ethical parents. Carey was a classic type-A student. Apparently, Carey was a very bright, well-rounded student, enrolling in several APs, participating in varsity sports like soccer, and taking part in the student council. After high school, Carey enrolled at the University of Montana. She graduated in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in English. After undergraduate, Carey attended the University of Texas - Austin, where she complete a graduate's degree in film production.

Hader's soon-to-be-ex wife got her start in comedy after graduate school when she joined Upright Citizen's Brigade in New York and Improv West Olympics in Los Angeles. These improv groups surely helped Carey build her comedic toolbox and get acquainted with the business of comedy. After joining, Carey soon began to channel her onstage comedic talents into screenwriting, and in 2007, she co-wrote a web series called "The Jeannie Tate Show." In another web sketch for Funny or Die Presents, Carey took a page from her soccer career and wrote a series titled, "Lady Refs, which was a great success for a newbie screenwriter.

In 2009, when Carey's original sitcom got canceled, she starting writing her first feature. Once Hader's then-wife was unemployed, Carey gave her fellow Upright Citizen's Brigade cast mate, Aubrey Plaza, a copy of her feature's script. Aubrey agreed to star in "The To Do List," and the two put together a cast. the movie also stars Rachel Bilson, Alia Shawkat, and Bill Hader. In fact, as a "thank you for being in my movie," Carey gave her then-husband Hader a sex scene in the movie with the film's hottie. "The To Do List" is Carey's version of an auto biography. As a a coming of age story, it tells the summer of a young girl in Boise in the '90s as she experiences prepares herself for all of the sexual encounters she will have in college. It's like a female-version of"Superbad," from which Carey got some of her inspiration. Interestingly, in 2009, "The To Do List" was not picked up by any producers, perhaps because its original title, "The Hand Job," did not portray the best image. It did, however, get some attention fo being on the Black List of Hollywood's Best Un-Produced Scripts. A year later, a reading was done at the Austin Film festival, and soon after, producers knocked on Carey's door for the rights. Carey became the director or her movie, which finally premiered in 2013. While the movie was deemed very funny by a lot of critics, it never became a hit.

Carey has been guest writers for a lot of TV shows. In 2016, Carey wrote an episode for "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" entitled, "Kimmy Walks Into a Bar!" In 2014, Hader's ex-wife wrote an episode for the HBO TV show," Silicon Valley" titled "Fiduciary Duties." She was also seen in "Cinema Six" (2012) as Tina and wrote "The Date" for the web-TV series, "Love" in 2016.
