Aisha N. Tyler (born 18 September 1970) is an American comedian and actress.
Aisha Tyler was born in San Francisco, California; she pursued an early
interest in comedy during high school, when she would skip her regular
course to attend local comedy improv classes. She attended Dartmouth College
where she earned a degree in political science with a minor in environmental
policy.
After briefly working for a San Francisco advertising firm, she toured the
country pursing a comedy career before finally moving to Los Angeles,
California in 1996. Her career in television took off in 2001 with jobs as
the host of Talk Soup and the reality-dating series The Fifth Wheel,
although Talk Soup was cancelled the following year and Tyler left The Fifth
Wheel in 2002 to pursue other interests. Tyler has devoted a significant
amount of her time to independent projects, including a role in the play
Moose Mating, for which she received an NAACP Image Award. She also wrote,
directed, and starred in the independent short film The Whipper.
