“Aisha Tyler wants to be the funniest person in the room.”

By Jason Tanamor

Aisha Tyler returns to the stand-up stage to promote her new live DVD special, “Aisha Tyler is lit: Live at the Fillmore.” She recently called in to chat with me about her upcoming performance in my hometown, her TV and film career, and what it is like to be a black woman married to a white man.

She also will be touring throughout 2009 to support her DVD special. Tyler has appeared in “The Ghost Whisperer” with Jennifer Love Hewitt, “Friends,” “24” and “CSI.”
