What a Day in the Life of Aisha Tyler Looks Like

Aisha Tyler already has about a million jobs, and now she’s added a recurring role on Criminal Minds to her résumé. The Talk co-host kicked off her new stint as forensic psychologist Dr. Tara Lewis on the Season 11 premiere of the CBS crime procedural, and she took us along for the ride by posting pictures of her long, coffee-fueled day on our Instagram account.

First, can we start off with that sexy new short ’do? Tyler says she’s too much of a “wimp” to cut her hair short in real life, but for her Criminal Minds role she went for it! In fact, for her Instagram takeover, Tyler showed us a variety of looks after two stints in hair and makeup for The Talk and Criminal Minds, as well as her dress down powwow with pal Julie Chen — in sweats! (This is your chance to see the moderator of the CBS chatfest in a Blondie T-shirt!) And we won’t even get started on all of those killer shoes

Between her Talk press junket, her Criminal Minds shoot, her Girl on Guy podcast, and her “research” for her upcoming cocktail line Courage + Stone, Tyler is definitely one of the hardest working stars in Hollywood, and she has selfies with Criminal Minds co-star Joe Mantegna, podcast guest Andre Royo (The Wire, Empire), Talk guest Chris Evans, and the entire Talk team to prove it.

The Talk airs weekdays on CBS; Criminal Minds airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
