The lovely and talented Aisha Tyler is engaging,
honest, intelligent, hilarious, grounded and above all your ‘around the way
woman’ from the city of beauty, that would be my hometown San Francisco. On Sept. 3rd CBS5/KPIX studios hosted
a media day with Aisha in celebration of the launch of the 5th
Season of THE TALK which airs
on Monday, Sept. 8th at 1 pm PST.
Aisha makes it all look very easy as she graciously, yet intensely, responded
to each media question with passion and humor.
Aisha Tyler was born on September 18 in San Francisco
and grew up in the, now known as, Hayes Valley area. She reminisced that it was called Fillmo’
when she lived in the area. She is an actress
and writer, and her most recent accomplishments are co-hosting THE
TALK for the last 4 years, TALK
SOUP and Whose Line Is It Anyway.
She also has a very robust podcast Girl
on Guy and if you haven’t tuned in yet, I am SURE you will luv luv luv and
enjoy the conversation.
Being a graduate of Darthmouth University, a
college she immediately applied for after a high school counselor told her it
was not be a good idea for her to attend the university, Aisha is extremely
witty and she uses her intelligence in the most brilliants ways from comedy to
being a best-selling author. Having her
hands in many pots is deliberate because she did not to give Hollywood an
opportunity to put her in a box. And the
list of endeavors continue to grow as directing
a major film is on her ‘bucket list’ but she is clear there are a number of
things she needs to do in order to prepare for such an endeavor.
Aisha thrives on living in the midst of ‘fear
moments’, as she deliberately goes after challenges that she has some fear
around. The one thing, however, that she
had no fear in sharing last season on THE TALK, was her infertility in
having a child. She faced it head-on and
was amazed at the number of women and men who were in relationships with women
dealing with infertility, who responded in support of her sharing and how
liberating and freeing it was for so many people.
Aisha has a very long successful list of acting
and TV Host accomplishments. To name a few: The Fifth Wheel, Friends,
Archer, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 24, MADtv, Ghost Whisperer, Balls of
Fury, Death Sentence, Boston Legal and The Boondocks and she is also an NAACP
Image Award recipient. As an author,
Tyler’s first book Swerve:
A Guide to the Sweet Life for Postmodern Girls
did very well and her 2nd Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic
Humiliation--which
became a New York Times bestseller -- is
based upon questions asked of guests on Girl
on Guy.
Tune in Monday, Sept. 8th CBS5/KPIX
at 1 pm PST for the premier of the 5th Season of the THE TALK with co-host AISHA
TYLER.
And go!
