IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Alyson Fouse was raised in Compton, California by her two loving parents, Alvin and Mable Fouse. One of her earliest memories was sitting on her father's lap while he read her the Sunday comics. This lead to her love of reading. It wasn't until Alyson was a little girl in church that she realized she had a passion for writing, too. After hearing her mother read the church minutes she'd written in away that kept the congregation engaged and entertained. Alyson knew at that moment she wanted to become a writer.

Alyson began a career in radio when she submitted an unsolicited sketch to a popular Los Angeles morning show, "John London and The House Party" on 92.3 The Beat. She was hired as their first ever free-lance writer. Just a month later, one of her sketches caught the attention of Keenen Ivory Wayans, and she was hired to work with the creator of "In Living Color" on his late night talk program, "The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show".
