As a commentator on politics and current events, Faith regularly appears on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, OWN's The Gayle King Show, Fox News' late-night talk show Red Eye, CNN, HLN, TV Guide Network, and on PBS.

Faith starred in the critically-acclaimed improvisational sitcom Significant Others on Bravo. She has appeared in gold lamé on Sex and the City and has been beamed up on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine--landing herself on a Star Trek collectible trading card.
Faith serves as one of the moderators for the annual World Science Festival, leading panels with scientists such as Richard Leakey, VS Ramachandran, and Ray Kurzweil. She's also hosted events at Comic-Con and the Boston Book Festival. To justify her subscriptions to Star and US Weekly, Faith offers pop-culture punditry on a variety of VH-1 shows.
She was the host and co-executive producer of the national public radio show Fair Game from PRI with Faith Salie. During its 300-episode run, she conducted over 1000 interviews with the likes of President Carter, Lorne Michaels, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Slash, Elizabeth Edwards, Norah Jones, Oliver Sacks, Tom Brokaw, and a family of champion elk callers.
Faith has asked:
- Joan Rivers if she'll ever think she's pretty enough
- John Bolton if he'll ever surrender his moustache or if it's an instrument of soft power
- Amy Poehler if women are uniquely funny
- Robert Redford if she can call him "Bob"
- Elizabeth Edwards what the presence of Secret Service does to a couple's intimacy
- Joy Behar if Larry King's chair has old man smell
- Lynne Cheney if her husband is cuddly
- Liam Neeson if he thinks what he does matters
- Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson what it feels like to die by black hole
- Micheal Keaton if he ever thinks he sucks
- Senator Bill Bradley if he's been in therapy
- Jeff Daniels if he talks to God
- Tom Brokaw what makes him cry
- President Carter what his diplomacy means if he doesn't officially represent the US government
- Sir Anthony Hopkins to recite Yeats and to perform his Elvis and Louis Armstrong imitations
Faith graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard. She received her master's degree in modern literature at Oxford University. Born in Boston and raised in Atlanta, Faith uses "wicked" as an adverb but also says "y'all." And she still has the tiara that was placed atop her spiral perm when she was crowned Miss Aphrodite in her high school pageant.
