While Claim to Fame aims to trick other cast members into thinking you’re related to another celebrity, Travis Tyson has been hinting at his real father all over the place.
So who is this brave participant? Continue reading this biography of Travis Tyson to know all about him.
Travis Tyson on his way to fame
ABC’s Claim to Fame is back for its second season on June 26, 2023.
The reality competition series, hosted by Kevin and Franklin Jonas, saw 12 contestants — each with a famous relative — move into the house together to try to sort out which celebrities the other contestants are related to. Apparently, the goal was to keep their relationship with celebrities under wraps while sharing two truths and one lie about them.
Our star Travis claimed that his famous cousin is his father, the Critics Choice award-winning actor. He even hinted that this sister had photographed him on the carpet with famous women alongside his father. As if that wasn’t enough, during the premiere portion of the talent show, Travis recited a long series of numbers in the mathematical Pi – a major clue as to who his father might be. Ironically, he won that challenge and was therefore protected in the Guess-Off and given an extra clue.
On the other hand, Hugo and JR came in last place, and Hugo was chosen as the first Guesser of the season. In a guessing game, Hugo then decided to target Carly and correctly guessed that she was Tom Hanks’ niece. So Carly tearfully said goodbye to the other contestants while letting Hugo know that she was upset that he targeted her.
“I helped you, Hugo. Fricken helped you. I gave you clues, and if any of them are true, I swear I hope you go home for it,” she yelled at him before storming into the mansion yelling about how the clues were all too obvious.
Outside the show, she lamented: “I really wanted to use my Aunt Rita as my famous cousin. That would make it much harder to hit.”
Who is the famous cousin of Travis Tyson?
Travis Tyson is the son of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. So he wasn’t lying when he said his sister took his picture on the red carpet. Also, Neil was indeed nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award in 2014 for his show Cosmos. I guess Travis just twisted the truth a bit on that part.
Now, talking about his family, Travis’ mother is a mathematical physicist named Alice Young. She met Neil at the University of Texas at Austin. However, their relationship was not instant. “He was the guy who wasn’t in the classroom, and I was definitely in the front row,” Alice said. But this is a conversation for another day.
Born in October 1956, Alice Young received her undergraduate degree in physics from Rice University and her Ph.D. in mathematical physics from the University of Texas. She then went on to work as an IT manager for Bloomberg LLC in New York and married Neil in 1988.
As for Travis’ sister, Miranda Tyson was born in August 1996. She is close with her father and together they also graced the premiere of Cosmos in October 2014.
