Hunt attended Catholic schools throughout her youth, beginning at St. Ferdinand Grammar School and later graduating from Notre Dame High School for Girls in Chicago.

In 1986, she joined The Second City, a renowned improvisational comedy group based in Chicago.
In 1990, Hunt played the role of Carol Anne Smithson in the television series Grand. She reportedly declined an offer to join Saturday Night Live, as producers were resistant to her improvisational style. In 1992, she was approached to replace Julia Duffy as B.J.
