Nicole Byer

Born August 29, in Middletown Township, New Jersey, US, Nicole Byer is an American comedian, actress, and television host, best known for hosting the bake-off competition show Nailed It! (2018). She moved to New York City in the early 2000s and worked as a waitress to support herself. She found she was bad at the job, but that people found her to be funny, which led her to the decision to study improv. She eventually graduated the American Musical and Dramatic Academy Certificate Program in Professional Performance. She first came to recognition and popularity in the early 2010s by appearing on MTV shows, and in 2016 the network produced Byer's own show *Loosely Exactly Nicole (2016). Since 2018 she's been hosting Nailed It and since 2021 she's been hosting a reboot of Wipeout (2021), along John Cena and Camille Kostek.
