The Tyra Banks Show

While Banks's show covered a variety of topics, there was a sensationalized focus on current issues facing women, with often special episodes on America's Next Top Model, which Banks herself had also created. In its later seasons, it took on a tabloid format similar to shows such as Maury and The Montel Williams Show, covering topics such as people with odd psychological problems, among other subjects as it was already replacing Ricki Lake especially on Fox Television Stations and The WB 100+ Station Group moving Tyra into Ricki’s old timeslot. According to Variety (magazine), it was another attempt to replace Ricki Lake.

The show was aired in many countries as it had been replacing Ricki Lake, and also remained available on XM Satellite Radio's Take Five channel in both the United States and Canada.
