Tyra Banks: New talk show

[YRBB]

I didn't see this coming.

Another one? Weren't her first two flops? She's better off staying in her niche - the mind games she plays with scared young girls on ANTM.

This could mean bye-bye GH. They better pray what is put in Katie's time slot this fall doesn't take off because if it does, Tyra will probably take the 2 pm slot in the fall of 2015.

I actually liked the Tyra Show as she followed in the footsteps of Donahue, Oprah, Sally, etc., she addressed social issues. In all honesty, I think she got cancelled (after a 5 season run, which better than most of these hosts nowadays) because society was becoming pop culture heavy and preferred talk shows that addressed them constantly (i.e. The View). I feel like now that people are growing tired of shows like that, they'll be more receptive to Tyra's show if she comes back with the same format. She better not come back like Ricki Lake, who should've stuck with her original format, and come back with a lifestyle type talk show. It'll fail instantly.

Tyra girl, we want social issues and messiness! Bring it on!

Not yet, but it certainly gets ABC closer to their goal. If Tyra is successful, then this clears the way to looking for the GH replacement they need. A successful Tyra only says "you're halfway there".

[dawn9476]

No. They could replace GH with Tyra if whatever show is put in that 3 pm slot this fall is a success.

She has another besides the one from 2005-2010?

I liked her show when she addressed racial issues and others facets of society. She did tend to over talk her guests and try to one up them.

[DRW50]

I thought she had one around 2000 or 2002. I might be mistaking her with someone else.

I remember things like, "I want to be straight!" and "I'm only gay because I get paid money!" and other Jenny Jones-esque trash. I guess if she wants to go back to that it would fill some niche not around in talk today, but the description sounds like more lifestyle tips. I'm not sure those are her strong suit.

Has something been announced?

[All My Shadows]

This is the kind of stuff daytime talk shows do best, IMO. The really good ones took seemingly sensational topics like that and really got to the emotional core of them, whether or not there was ever any real resolution. The Tyra Show did it well.

[DRW50]

I think those types of shows became self-parody and you could kind of see the acting, but they do have a fanbase, as Dr. Phil (unfortunately) proves.

I wish we could see a brand new type of talk show, but I know that won't happen.

The best I can settle for at this point is this isn't yet another talk show that tells us how real parents don't vaccinate their children.

Instead of Jepoardy reruns at 3pm.

[Eric83]

There was a talk show hosted by a young, black woman during that time. Her name was Ananda Lewis. That may be what you were thinking of.

[Cheap21]

Random fact, I was watching the series debut of Ananda Lewis from my college dorm room when it got preempted to show the World Trade Center go down from the 911 attacks

[DRW50]

That may be it.

I'm at the point where I feel like everyone has had three talk shows.
