Yael (who prefers it pronounced Yell) Tygiel is a producer, writer, and model. Whether she’s interviewing sci-fi legends like George Takei, showing fans around the sets of hit television shows, or dancing with Barney (yes, the dinosaur), Yael brings her professionalism and passion to every endeavor.

Most recently, Yael produced and was seen hosting The Official Leverage: Redemption Aftershow, After The Ark, and more original content on the ElectricNOW app. She’s also an AfterBuzzTV alum and previous guest of ScreenJunkies, but most often found on FANVERSATION, Collider, ComicsBeat, and at ComicCons around the world. Her words have been published on POPSUGAR, The Advocate, and FANDOM, and her passion projects include an SVU podcast, a body positivity blog called TheFatGirlShow and a romance-focused bookstagram account, GoodLittleLibraryMouse.

When not watching TV for work, Yael can be found watching TV for fun.
