She is a former host of Attack of the Show! on G4.

Underwood was born in Portland, Oregon.

The mention of her as the "first" Playmate of the Year from OSU was actually incorrect; she was preceded by Jodi Ann Paterson, the Playmate of the Year for 2000.

She graduated from Scappoose High School in Scappoose, Oregon, in 2002.

She has been a student at Oregon State University and Portland State University.

Subsequently, Playboy featured her as Miss July 2006.

She appeared in several more episodes of The Girls Next Door.

When she became Playmate of the Year in June 2007, her prize included a Mini Cooper convertible.

She was the first Miss July to receive the title, although she herself said, "I didn't think I was pretty enough".

On June 7, 2007, a group of Oregon State University women's studies students created a poster celebrating Underwood's selection as Playboy 2007 Playmate of the Year, and posted it outside Bexel Hall, where it remained in place for only a few hours before Oregon State University staff took it down.

The poster embraced the theme and the style of the "Achievement" posters that line Campus Way at the university.

The poster read, "Sara Jean: First OSU Beaver Playmate of the Year, Playboy June '07, OSU Centerfold, People, Ideas, Innovation."

Underwood appears as a pirate wench in the 2007 film Epic Movie, along with fellow Playmates Qiana Chase, Irina Voronina and Jillian Grace.

In March 2008, Playboy magazine ranked her at #25 on their "25 Hottest Playboy Celebrities" list.

Underwood appeared as a playmate in the 2008 comedy, House Bunny, along with fellow playmates and in 2009 was in the film The Telling with Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison, and as herself in Miss March.

Underwood is credited with discovering 2009 Playmate of the Year Ida Ljungqvist while shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California.

In 2009 she co-hosted five episodes of G4's Attack of the Show, filling in for a vacationing Olivia Munn.
