Anjelah Johnson-Reyes

Anjelah is an American comedian, actress, and former NFL cheerleader. Her full name is Anjelah Nicole Johnson-Reyes. She was born on 14 May 1982 in San Jose, California. She specializes in observational comedy, satire, and surreal humor. Anjelah handles topics like gender differences, sports, everyday life, and Latin American culture (she is of Native American and Mexican descent).

She began her career as a professional cheerleader for Oakland Raiders and won the Rookie of the Year award. She even performed at the Super Bowl XXXVII, following which Anjelah moved to Los Angeles in 2005 to try her hand at comedy. This was inspired by a friend’s suggestion that she join the joke-writing classes. Soon, Anjelah joined a course for improv. One of her creations, Nail Salon (where she impersonated a Vietnamese nail salon employee), became a sensation on YouTube. This brought her recognition and chances to perform in other standup comedy shows.

In 2009, Anjelah had an hour show on Comedy Central (Anjelah Johnson: That's How We Do It). She became a spokesperson for a Mexican restaurant, Taco Cabana, in 2011. She then campaigned for a national program, Don't be an S.O.V., the next year.
