Biography |
Born September 18, 1970, Aisha N. Tyler began her comedy
career at the Improv classes she would often sneak off to
when bored with her regular high-school studies. But as
passionate as she was with acting and comedy, she went on to
study Political Science at Dartmouth College, though her
attendance was irregular at best.
While in college, Tyler continued to perform improv and
sketch comedy, and even joined a campus a cappella group and
a blues band, which allowed her to explore her love of
music. As if doing covers of Stevie Ray Vaughn and the
Doobie Brothers wasn't enough, she also gave snowboarding
lessons.
Following graduation, Tyler got a job with an advertising
firm in San Francisco, but as great as it seemed, she
realized that it wasn't her true love. She made the gutsy
decision to pursue comedy full-time and after working in
clubs across the country, finally moved to Los Angeles in
1996.
Aisha Tyler quickly found a permanent job, as the host of E!
Entertainment Televisions's Talk Soup, an Emmy-winning
satirical look at TV talk shows. As the first female and
black host of the show, Tyler's rousing comedy was a hit
with audiences and critics alike. And along with the
success, came deafening buzz about comedy's newest queen.
Some of the buzz included Esquire calling Tyler "sweetly
wicked," and securing a place among the lists of loved women
in entertainment and hot newcomers.
In addition to Talk Soup, Tyler has appeared on The Tonight
Show, The Today Show, Politically Incorrect, the 2002 film
Showtime, starring Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy, as well
as the HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, all the while
earning raves. Tyler also made time to appear on a celebrity
edition of The Weakest Link, and even won the top prize as
the strongest player.
Despite the May 2002 cancellation of Talk Soup and stepping
down from the dating show The Fifth Wheel, Aisha Tyler is
keeping busy with an appearance in the big-budget The Santa
Clause 2, starring Tim Allen. She also took her witty style
to print, as a part-time contributor to Glamour and Jane
magazines.
In 2003, she appeared on the hit NBC sitcom Friends in the
recurring role of Charlie Wheeler, the love interest of both
Joey and Ross. |
