I guess all good things come to an end. Apparently Tyra Banks has decided to kill off her talk show this spring, taking a cue from Oprah Winfrey. Banks, who has been hosting The Tyra Banks Show since September 2005, when the show replaced the discontinued Ricki Lake Show.
The show has met with some success, receiving two daytime Emmy awards, both for "Outstanding Talk Show (informative)" in 2008 and again last August. The show has been airing on The CW, a joint-venture network owned by the CBS Corporation and Warner Bros that was set up primarily to appeal to women between the ages of 18-34. America's Next Top Model, a show that Banks hosts and created, remains in place at least until the end of the 2010 season. Another series that Banks has had a hand in is True Beauty, that she co-produces along with Ashton Kutcher.
The Tyra Banks Show, although attraching a strong following of younger female viewers, failed to garner the ratings or audiences of more broadly followed talk shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show or The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Banks also plans on producing more films through Bankable, her production company.
