Biography
Grace Anne Helbig was born on September 27, 1985 in South Jersey to John Helbig and Theresa McGinnis. Helbig has an older brother, John, and a younger brother, Timothy. She attended West End Memorial Elementary School in Woodbury, New Jersey and then Gateway Regional High School in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey. She was a successful track star and medal-winning pole-vaulter.

In 2003, Helbig began studying at Ramapo College in Mahwah, New Jersey. It was there that she formed a sketch comedy group called "Baked Goods" with her best friend, Michelle Akin (née Vargas). During her college years, she took improv classes at the Peoples Improv Theater in New York City. She was a semi-finalist in the 2005 Miss New Jersey USA beauty pageant. She graduated college with a BA in Contemporary Arts in 2007.

YouTube
In early 2008, Helbig narrated the short-lived animated web series, Bedtime Stories on My Damn Channel, which consisted of R-rated parodies of classic fairy tales. My Damn Channel founder and CEO Rob Barnett discovered her personal vlogs through her profile and offered her the opportunity to host her own video blog web series on My Damn Channel. This became Daily Grace, which premiered on April 14, 2008, with new episodes published every weekday. On October 11, 2010, Daily Grace was launched as its own YouTube channel. By the end of December 2013, the channel had amassed over 2.4 million subscribers and over 212 million video views on YouTube. From the series' inception in April 2008 through December 2013, Helbig created over 830 Daily Grace episodes for the Daily Grace YouTube channel — in addition to the 690 Daily Grace episodes that had been published exclusively on My Damn Channel (i.e., all episodes up to October 8, 2010 as well as additional extra videos after that date).

From March 2012 through January 2013, Helbig hosted My Damn Channel LIVE once a week from the company's New York City studio (the remainder of each week's daily episodes were hosted by Beth Hoyt). In November 2013, the series was revived in a weekly format as My Damn Channel LIVE: Hangout, with Helbig making a few appearances via video chat from the Los Angeles studio.

On November 4, 2013, Helbig premiered a weekly supplemental Daily Grace series exclusive to My Damn Channel entitled One Thing You Didn't Know About Me From Last Week. The series lasted five episodes and ended December 2, 2013.

On December 27, 2013, Helbig uploaded her final Daily Grace episode to the Daily Grace YouTube channel. Four days later, My Damn Channel released a statement announcing that Helbig had chosen not to renew her multi-year contract with the network, and that going forward, no new content would be created by Helbig for the Daily Grace YouTube channel. My Damn Channel indicated that the Daily Grace YouTube channel would remain active solely as an archive, with plans for the network to upload the early Daily Grace episodes and other Helbig content that had formerly been exclusive to My Damn Channel.

On January 6, 2014, Helbig relaunched her personally owned, formerly secondary channel It's Grace (formerly GracieHInABox) as her main YouTube channel. News of Helbig's departure from My Damn Channel and the shift back to her own independent channel contributed to a dramatic increase in It's Grace subscribers, from just under 87,000 in the last week of 2013 to over a half million by the first week of 2014. On January 22, 2014, just two and a half weeks after the channel's relaunch, It's Grace passed 1 million subscribers. Currently, It's Grace has over 1 million subscribers and over 8.1 million video views.
