30 people who can replace Stephen Colbert on The Late Show
By Buckie Wells
20. Aisha Tyler
Aisha Tyler is probably one of the most underrated people on this list, while also being one of the coolest.
Tyler has a strong resume right now with current projects all over the map, like her voiceover work on Archer, a reoccurring role on Criminal Minds, and two hosting gigs on The Talk and Whose Line Is It Anyway?
She’s more than competent, but perhaps the coolest thing about her is her interest in nerd culture and the fact that she’s hosted the Ubisoft E3 Conference each year for the past five years. She may have first started gaining a name for herself by playing Charlie Wheeler on seasons nine and ten of Friends, but Tyler has come a long way since then.
Her podcast, Girl on Guy, features a ton of well-known guests and proves that Tyler is more than capable of keeping the conversation going with any popular celebrity, especially since the podcast focuses on “stuff guys love.” Consistently appearing on iTunes Top Ten chart, all of Girl on Guy’s 200+ episodes have been recorded and produced by Tyler herself.
