    It's so hard to learn about the guests that appear on the Tyra Bank's Show because she is too busy thinking and talking about what to say about herself over and over and over again. It's painful to see. She even has the audience ask her questions about herself, it's so ridiculous and she obviously loves it!! Someone who is in a position to tell her that she is overly self-absorbed needs to tell her. I know it's called the Tyra Bank's Show but she takes the meaning of the title to a whole new level. For most talk shows the title of the show is usually named after the host, such as The Oprah Winfrey Show or The Montel Williams Show, but they don't have a constant need to talk about themselves at every chance they get. That is the difference between the Tyra Bank's show and all other talk shows. Tyra may as well be her own guest (every time) because that would be her idea of the ideal show to sum it all up.

    Do we really need another self-centered, wise-ass, uber-yuppie talk show host? I mean c'mon here people! Especially one who talks way too much and more than often about herself and her own little world. I can't stand this show, it's like....imagine fingernails on a chalkboard in Surround Sound amplified 3X. That sums up the Tyra Banks Show. What is more irritating is Tyra's disguises as fat people homeless drifters, etc. I mean come on does she really know how these people really feel? Real drifters and fat people can't take off the Special Effects suits and dingy clothes and return to a mansion in the Hills. The ugly truth is that she doesn't. In general, it's the usual bulls*^t topics: love, fashion tips, dieting, dating, racism/homophobia, etc. What talk show doesn't talk about these issues and sensationalize the opinions of a bunch of morons/victims airing their dirty laundry and making asses of themselves on national television. There is only one person that TB cares about....and that person is Tyra Banks, give or take a few high-profile rich celebrities from Hollywood...aw who am I kidding.

    Reading some of the comments on this site have really surprised me about the "Tyra Banks Show". For me, I really like this show, even though it is not perfect, it's entertaining. I really like Tyra's sense of humor, and she seems sincere in her approach. Remember too, that Tyra is not a seasoned interviewer, but she is holding her own OK. This is her 2nd season, and she has come a long way from the 1st season. Most of the topics are good, but you can tell that it's specifically aimed at a 20-30 year old female audience. A couple things I've noticed on this show is that Tyra will tend to cross-plug "America's Top Model". She will have one of the models on the show or slip something in about the show into the conversation. Although, it is good to cross-plug for marketing purposes, this practice can get pretty tired when it's done constantly. Another item I've noticed is that Tyra will tend to pick sides, especially when it comes to having a show about infidelity or bad relationships. Geraldo Riveira and Montel Williams used to do this too, but it's not a good journalism practice. Technically, you should remain impartial, but talk shows tend to not follow this practice. Even with this said, I still really enjoy catching most of Tyra's shows. She tries to have fun with her guests, and tries to include her audience and the viewer in on the fun. When she had Janet Jackson on, and the Wayan Brothers, Tyra really showed her fun side. She tries to mix-it-up with serious topics like racism, discrimination and bad relationships. The episodes that come to mind are when she had Kevin Aviance as a guest and the topic was about gay-bashing, and another show when Sue Johannsen was on about sex/relationship info. My favorite shows are the ones when Tyra goes undercover. This is something I have not seen on past talk shows. It really gives a different perspective on the topic. Tyra has gone undercover to be an exotic dancer, overweight and even a man! This proves to me that Tyra is willing to go the extra mile to experience the covered topic. It's really nice to see that she is willing to get her "hands dirty", and see what it's like first-hand. I hope that "The Tyra Banks Show" stays on the air for a while, because it is one of the better new shows in a sea of mediocre situation comedies and so called reality shows.

    Some times my flat mate watches this TV show. It is hosted by Tyra Banks. The show is called The Tyra Banks Show, and basically it is a big ego trip for Tyra Banks. The intro to the show is very boring and long, then the show itself is about Tyra Banks having different guests and they talk about nail polish and how wonderful it is to have your guy give a perfect proposal or whatever. This is the kind of TV that will leave you empty and stupid after watching. It is like being hit by a car, or running into an invisible brick wall. You do not know what happened, but you know it was painful.
