Catch new episodes on FX every Thursday starting January 19th.

Outside of the cartoon world, Tyler keeps showing us that she one of the many wittiest ladies in Hollywood. Her comedy podcast, Girl on Guy, which features her in intimate conversations with a wide range of influential people, was billed as Best New Comedy in the iTunes Rewind 2011 year-end roundup. You can also catch her chatting it up on CBS’s daytime talk show, “The Talk”.

Keep doing your thing, girl. We are rooting for you!

…If we have to speak about it, if I have to be honest, why I’m really proud is because I’m adopted. I don’t know my real parents, my biological parents. More than the color, what I think is important for me is to show that, if you don’t have a good start, you can still fight for what you love. My parents are white; I am black, or mixed. I don’t know where I’m from. But what they teach me is this, too: It’s [to] love. I love everyone.
