Tyra Banks Announces the End of the "Tyra Banks Show" at the End of Fifth Season in Spring 2010

Tyra Banks announces the end of the "Tyra Banks Show" at the close of fifth season in spring 2010.

Tyra Banks has decided to bid adieu to her show after five seasons and two Daytime Emmy awards. She told People magazine that this will be the last season for her show in the spring of 2010. She said, “I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.”

Don't cry for Tyra Banks. She will reportedly turn her focus to the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Staying true to a stated mission of hers, she told People, “My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.” Banks says.

She wrote in an open letter on her Web site, “There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart.” “And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.”

Well, Tyra Banks certainly won't make as enormous a dent as the reigning Daytime talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. who made a similar announcement about the end of her show earlier this fall, but still she managed to reach an audience of young women who adored her. Tyra Banks isn't departing the world of television. On the contrary. She will be back on "America's Next Top Model," which is slated to return for its 15th season in February, as well as her ABC show "True Beauty."
