Faith was the host and 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, Lupe Fiasco, Oliver Sacks, and Tom Brokaw.
On television, Faith hosted the Sundance Channel's coverage of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, conducting interviews with filmmakers and actors. She'll return to host the 2009 Festival for the Sundance Channel. Faith was also a star of the critically-acclaimed improvisational sitcom, Significant Others on Bravo. She has appeared in numerous sitcoms and dramas--from a memorable turn in gold lamé on Sex and the City to reaching the arcane iconic status of "tradable life form" for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fans.
Faith recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, opining on ethical dilemmas for the entire hour. She was invited to sit in that hallowed chair because she is a monthly contributor to O, the Oprah Magazine, as an "ethics expert." She maintains this lofty title by being an assiduous thank-you note writer.
As a commentator on politics and current events, Faith appears on CNN and Fox News and currently contributes to the National Public Radio shows Tell Me More and The Takeaway. For the latter, she recently covered both the Democratic and Republican conventions. She served as one of the moderators for the first World Science Festival, leading panels with scientists such as Richard Leakey, VS Ramachandran, and Ray Kurzweil. She also moderates panels at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. To maintain a healthy relationship with low culture, Faith offers pop-culture punditry on a variety of VH-1 shows and just completed a pilot called The Opinionators, which VH-1 dubs "The McLaughlin Group of Pop Culture." (Faith personally apologizes to Eleanor Clift.)
Faith has regularly performed as a stand-up comedian at the Hollywood Improv. She is also a television writer and has created and executive produced pilots for Fox, VH-1, and the Oxygen Network.
Faith grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and began her career in the dark, cutthroat world of children's musical theatre. After graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard--where she performed lead roles in Cabaret, Lysistrata, and Grease, and also tangoed with Matt Damon in A... My Name Is Alice and frolicked with Mo Rocca as Lucy to his Charlie in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown--Faith won her graduate scholarship to Oxford University. While completing her M.Phil. in Literature, she performed at the National Theatre, London and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Faith's hobbies include baking white trash treats and giving them away before she can eat them.
