The Tyra Banks Show

Show Description

After two successful seasons in Los Angeles, talk show host Tyra Banks moves the Daytime Emmy Award-winning "The Tyra Banks Show" to New York City. From Central Park to Times Square, Tyra will infuse the excitement of the Big Apple into the show, making the world-famous city a character in the talk show. With location pieces highlighting the magnificent history and diverse culture of the city, including all five boroughs, visits from quintessential New Yorkers and by hitting the streets with the locals and the thousands of tourists from all over the world, Tyra will capture the unpredictability and energy of New York for her viewers. As in previous seasons, Tyra will continue to inspire and champion women of all ages to accept and embrace themselves and their bodies finding their beauty and inner strength by creating an environment where women can talk about what's on their mind and fearlessly explore their world.

The third season of "Tyra" also brings more interaction with her viewers in the studio, at home and on the streets of the city. Tyra will have direct access to the people in New York via webcams set up in various locations around the city, including Military Island, in the heart of Times Square, that will allow her speak to them live during tapings. The show's website, which will have a new url, www.tyrashow.com, will be redesigned to become the best interactive place for her viewers to receive and share information pertaining to beauty, health, fashion, relationships, pop culture, news and the world around them, as well as an extension of the topics she discussed on the show that day.

"The Tyra Banks Show" is the place where celebrities go when they want to have a great time with an enthusiastic audience. This season Tyra has interviewed the hottest actors and singers including Chris Brown, Rihanna, Tori Spelling, Joel and Benji Madden of "Good Charlotte," Vanessa Hudgens of "High School Musical 2," Lauren Conrad of "The Hills," Kim Kardashian, Martina McBride and Star Jones. Plus, Tyra's viewers get a look at the craziness that happens before a Beyoncé concert when the superstar allows Tyra and her cameras backstage for an exclusive, all-access backstage pass.

Tyra also continues to share with her audience beauty, fashion and home improvement tips that make life a little easier. From learning how to tell a real designer handbag from a knock-off, creating the perfect smoky eye and revealing the hot new trends for Fall to the correct way to hang wallpaper, making everyday photos look professional and how to protect oneself from the dangers of technology, Tyra educates her audience in fun and creative ways.

The third season also introduces a new theme song, "All That I Got," by musical superstar and three-time Grammy winner, Fergie. Well-known artist and producer Poet Name Life remixed the song about inner beauty especially for "The Tyra Banks Show."

In its sophomore season, "The Tyra Banks Show" received six Daytime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host, as well as nominations from the Prism Awards, GLAAD Awards and NAACP Image Awards. Tyra continues to prove that she is a major role model in today's culture. For the last two years, Time magazine named her one of the "100 Most Influential People," and she appeared on the cover in 2007 and Forbes magazine included her in their "Celebrity 100" list in 2006 and 2007. She also won the Teen Choice Award for Choice TV: Personality in August 2007.

Last season, Tyra created a media firestorm when she confronted the now infamous unflattering photos of her in a bathing suit by appearing on the cover of People magazine proclaiming her body weight. This led to her incredibly popular, "So What!" campaign that spoke to women of all shapes and sizes throughout the country. She also created memorable episodes with her eye-opening "Focus on Race" series, the re-creation of her ground-breaking Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover and her investigative pieces which took an inside look at homelessness, modeling scams and the warning signs of the "casting couch."

Tyra's forthright style and honesty makes the show the place women want to be to discuss topics that are important to them, as well as have fun learning about fashion, beauty and health.
