Personal life

In June 2004, he married Joanne Lamarca, a producer for Today. They met when Lamarca was a producer for one of Tyler's shows. They live in Montclair, New Jersey.[1] In the 2016 United States presidential election, he voted for Michael Bloomberg as a write-in candidate. For an unknown reason, all mentions of his first wife - Sally Russell, an editor at Skiing magazine while he was at Money - have been erased from biographical listings that mention him.
