Aisha N. Tyler (born 18 September

in comedy during high school, when she would skip her regular courses to
attend local comedy improv classes. She also attended theater classes at
San Francisco's School of the Arts High School. She attended Dartmouth
College where she earned a degree in government with a minor in
environmental policy. While there,she co-founded and sang in the
all-female a cappella group, The Dartmouth Rockapellas, a group devoted to
spreading social awareness through song. Aisha is also an alum of The
Tabard, a Co-Ed fraternity at Dartmouth College. 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.
During its final two seasons, Tyler played the only black recurring
character in the hit situation-comedy Friends. She had a recurring role on
CSI and the first season of Ghost Whisperer. Tyler has also been on 24.
Tyler has 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 (ISBN 0525948066) was released in January 2004. She is
often cited as one of the "rising stars to watch" in the entertainment
industry. Tyler also plays on the World Poker Tour in the Hollywood Home
