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.
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.
Most recently, Tyler landed a recurring role in the final two seasons
of the hit situation-comedy “Friends” and “24”
she currently has a recurring role on “CSI.” She also moved
into print media as a regular contributor to Glamour and Jane magazines;
her first book, Swerve: A Guide to the Sweet Life for Postmodern Girls
was released in January 2004. She is often cited as one of the "rising
stars to watch" in the entertainment industry.
