Aisha Tyler, the 2014 USO Gala Mistress of Ceremonies, took a break from her pre-Gala preparations to share why she’s excited to host this year’s event.

“Tonight’s all about the troops. So for me, it’s just about honoring not just the men and women that have personally scarified for our country, but also acknowledging the fact that their families have made incredible sacrifices,” Tyler said.

This is the first time the actress, comedian author and podcaster, known for hosting CBS ‘Emmy winning show The Talk and CW’s Who’s Line Is It Anyway, has worked with the USO.
