Aisha N. Tyler (born 18 September 1970) is an American actress, stand-up comedian and occasional writer.

Early life

Tyler was born in San Francisco, California; she pursued an early interest 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 and was a member of The Tabard, a co-ed fraternity. At Dartmouth, she co-founded and sang in the all-female a cappella group, The Dartmouth Rockapellas, a group devoted to spreading social awareness through song. After briefly working for a San Francisco advertising firm, she toured the country pursuing a comedy career before finally moving to Los Angeles, California in 1996.

Career

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 African American recurring character on Friends. She had a recurring role on CSI and the first season of Ghost Whisperer. Tyler has also been on 24. Tyler appeared as Mia Dickerson in eleven episodes of CSI working as a DNA specialist in the lab after replacing Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda).

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 0-525-94806-6) 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 games for the Childhelp USA charity. She also made a guest appearance on Twista's single "Slow Jamz" which also featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx.

In 2002 she portrayed Mother Nature in Disney's The Santa Clause 2. She has reclaimed this role in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, as seen in the promotional trailers. In 2006, she sat in for Roger Ebert as a guest movie critic on Ebert and Roeper a few times while he was recuperating from surgery.

Trivia

She played the role of District Attorney Janet Medrano on CSI: Miami in 2003, where her character is killed off in the episode "Body Count". She went on to play the role of Mia Dickerson on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2004-2005. Since the two TV shows exist in the same reality (the pilot episode for CSI: Miami was a CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode titled "Cross Jurisdictions"), this implies the two characters were doppelgängers.

Personal life

Since 1992, Tyler has been married to lawyer Jeff Tietjens.

Tyler and her husband are avid fans of beer; both are home brewers. She discussed her love and passion for beer on The Sharon Osbourne Show.
