In 2009, Variety reported that Tyra Banks' self-titled talk show would be ending after five years on the air. They also shared that there would be a 2010-2011 season that aired best-of segments. The outlet reported "The Tyra Banks Show" averaged around 1.6 million viewers per show, similar to Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey. Banks opted to pull the plug, not because of ratings, but instead because of burnout.
In 2018, she sat down with Variety and confessed that the show took a toll on her. "When I had 'The Tyra Banks Show,' it was one of the hardest things I've ever done," she shared. "Having a talk show and doing six shows a week is just nonstop, and toward my last season I was so stressed because I was doing two 'Top Model' seasons per year and the talk show all year and I was overlapping. That's why I've learned to not overlap, so I don't go crazy." She noted that her body told her "you need to just stop" and "you need to rest." While many talk shows tank because of ratings, it seems as though Banks stopped her series because of straight-up burnout.
Interestingly enough, she returned to the talk-show world in 2018 on "Fab Life," primarily to plug her beauty brand. After just two months, she said, "I stepped away, which is not my thing — I'm not a quitter." We all need rest Tyra, it's okay!
