His television credits include That 70s Show, a judge on the Tyra Banks Show, The Academy Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, Fame the reality series, Disney's Annie and Cinderella directed by Rob Marshall and So You Think You Can Dance as choreographer for the past 4 seasons.

Kenny Ortega (Director of High School Musical and Dirty Dancing) says "Watching Tyce dance on stage is like watching Michael Jordan on the court."
