TYRA WINS A DAYTIME EMMY
Saturday, June 21, 2008

Tyra Banks attended the 35th annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Hollywood on Friday. The former supermodel-turned-talk show host won an Emmy for outstanding informative talk show for the infamous bathing suit photo incident that hit the net earlier last year.
“I’m shaking,” Banks, the talk show’s host and executive producer, said as she took the stage to collect her prize.
“I have such a strong history with daytime television. My mama… Where’s my mama? My mama’s crying like a baby! Hi Mama,” the model-turned-TV personality said.
Banks also cited Oprah Winfrey as inspiration:
“I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration,” Tyra said. “She is the queen. She will always be the queen.”
Tyra and her show is annoying at times, but I give props when props are due. Congrats to her!

Eww, Her hair color is not the cutest, especially since it’s matching her dress, disgusting. But I love Tyra….she’s funny and interseting.

Nothing but love- agreed…I really think she should stick to Top Model.
The hair colour- girl what in the blank were you thinking?

Glad she won the Emmy, she needs to lose the blonde hair color —
and she went lil’ overboard with acceptance speech - she should have kept it classy.
That’s a nice gown too.

Tyra know, wtf?? that dress/hair combo is not the answer. I have tuned out from both top model and her talk show, but i’m happy for you nonetheless. The shows both got irritating to me but i hope you still keep doing great things.

Congrats to Tyra… Although, on her show she does some weird things and sometimes ask the most stupidest questions. I was like WTF when watching her interview Akeys. At least she also recognized that O was the queen.

Go Tyra, she deserved it, Tyra doesnt mind hurting ur feelings and will speak the truth right on daytime tv. Not sure whats going on w/ the hair color that one has thrown me off its to close to the dress color so it all just blends in.

she looks nice…congrats….though I am not that BIG of a fan of the show (she stays always talking about transexuals and gays)….a minority of the times she does come up with great topics (my fav episode was when they had girls of different races and the guys told honestly what they felt about them)….like one guy compared white women to beer

I can dig the hair color. I mean in my opinion it blends nicely with her skin tone. But yellow dress, yellow hair, yellow lady is a bit overboard I must say. It’s like: Is that Big Bird or is that Tyra? She always wears the absolute best lace fronts in the business though. As much money as Naomi Campbell has, I don’t know why she can’t take a que and start wearing lace fronts and stop damaging her own hair and receding hairline to almost nonexistent with those weaves.
As for Tyra’s show…it just goes to show that the Daytime Emmy’s had absolutely nothing to choose from…Tyra winning an Emmy…that is the dumbest and most embarrasing show ever. Tyra asks more eloquent thought provoking questions on ANTM than she does when she is interviewing her guests on her talk show. She really acts semi retarded on her talk show. And again, look how dumb her acceptance speech was. Tyra is beautiful, but if you really concentrate on her hard enough, she starts to look a little deformed like…ok let me stop and get ready for work…cuz Tyra gonna be alright with or without my approval.

“Tyra and her show is annoying at times, but I give props when props are due. Congrats to her”
Yeah that’s where i’m at….half the time that show is some bull like it looks like it’s supposed to help but seems like it’s not really on issues like race, skin color, exposes (going undercover as a fat chick or man, etc) and that half makes me go how the hell she get a Emmy for this but other times dare I say damnit it be pretty good so yeah congrats and props where they are due indeed. Modeling to Emmy’s wow.

What the freak nasty?? WHY does she always insist on wearing BLONDE wigs??? Soo not the business. Although some of her shows are intriguing, overall she tries too hard and always makes the show about herself. She’s kinda flaky but, oh well, best of luck to her! lol

Congratulations to Tyra she works HARD and she deserves it! …She ALSO deserves to be slepped for that ash blonde look she thought was workin’ for her. The wig itself is pretty, but since when has it been in vogue to match your yaki to your dress? LMAO! If she had just a lil’ mo’ shimmer powder on her collarbone, she would seriously look like a Black Girl Oscar Statuette. Good lord, its like Beyonce took her wig off to give her own scalp a chance to breathe this week, and passed it to Tyreezy who gladly slapped it on her own head.

Congrats Tyra. I love your show. You are a down chick. That’s coming from the NYC. But, you know there is a but. You should have colored your hair two weeks ago, because it looks too brassy. And you know better to match hair and eyeshadow with your dress, it just blahs you out.

Tyra is usually ham, but with that blonde lace front she’s roast ham! I’ve seen the Tyra show and it seem that most of the time she’s acting like a teenage girl in heat, a bit like Mariah, but at least Mariah has talent. I dunno, she always reminds me of Kelly Rowland, i never knew what was up with kelly until read about how she hated being dark and wished she was lighter and then it all made sense. I think Tyra has the same problem… and lil’ Kim, shame.

She deserves it. I’m old enough to remember that before Oprah got all the acclaim and people finally decided to give her her props, she went through the same period of bashing that people like to now throw at Tyra, like saying she was a sell out, she wasn’t in touch with the black audience and her show topics were on the crazy side at first, every thing i falling into line with Tyra, soon people will be hanging off her breast like they do Oprahs.

#25 Oprah’s humble talk show beginnings are on youtube
As for Tyra, I saw her win, and although I understood where she was going with what she said, she could have said it differently and with less ghetto-ish. Eitherway, good for her for winning.
Hair– Absolute no no
Dress– Was nice
Mama– Her twin
Fine azz boyfriend- PRICELESS!!! Ya’ll that watched peeped him sitting at the table

Say what you will…Ms. Bankable is taking it all the way to the BANK! To me her show is not different than any other. Some episodes you like, some you don’t. Sometimes she is over the top but obviously….ITS WORKING!!!
*Question*
For those of you who dislike the show…Have you submitted ideas to her website to improve the show or are you just content with just having an negative opinion?

tyra and her show can be mad annoying at times, i think at times she can 2 damn extra and i hate when she tries to have her ghetto moments, just be yourself and stop acting damn! and i hate when she tries to act like her mama is an expert on every subject, she brings her up on every show damn.
anyways congrats 2 her…….but never ever match your hair with your dress again!

The Tyra show is annoying but for some reason when you watch it you can’t turn it off because you have to know what crazy crap she will do next, like mooning the audience, Loved it, hahahaha… In all honesty Tyra has really turned herself in to a Business women, and thing you see wit the name TOP MODEL she owns it. Im happy for her annoying ass…

I used to love Tyra. But after watching ANTM and her talk show I see how she exploits young women and their issues. I also think is narcissistic, patronizing and condescending. Watch the shows yourself for examples. Anyway, I congratulate her on her Emmy, even though I think she’s phony and didn’t really truly earn it.

How does she exploit women? Please give us an example to support your assessment of Tyra.
Now I agree she is annoying, talks about herself a little too much, over the top and crazy but when does she EXPLOITS young women? Are we reaching?

I agree with what a lot of you all have stated; while Tyra is way over extra a lot of the times, she has definitely made it work for her. So, all you can do is congratulate her game. I mean, she’s figured out how to make her programs and image successful.

She exploits young women and their issues, just like I stated above. Apparently you don’t watch her shows. She is fake and phony. She acts like she cares for the benefit of the public… Ne’ her audience. Ex: She encourages the girls talking about eating disorders, abuse, attitude probs and stripping. Then she uses it against them. She even did it to Eva. Trying to make her cry. Its all for the tears people! It annoys the hell out of me! You can see that she doesn’t really care. Its obvious. She tutns something that can be a great learning experience for young women into a show. I see right through it. How about the way she treated Rihanna on her last appearance on Tyra? Letting her know that she’ll never compare to Beyonce. Even going so far as to let her know Beyonce is so powerful she can pull the plug on Rihanna. Using the Umbrella lyrics saying B could say “get away, away, eh, eh!” And laughing in her face. Then telling Neyo how much she likes his money (not necessarily him) she is a trip!
It’s not my fault you can’t see thru her. Oh, and I’m not digging the hair or dress but I do wish her well. She is doing it! Keep bankin’ it, Banks! She will hopefully learn her craft and will end up more sympathetic.

@Sexilexi…
I do watch her show sometimes. Not all the time. Thanks for the examples…although weak…those are your observations.
Maybe she has been a little unorthodox a time or two however I feel she upward mobile. We only get to see 45 minutes of episodes. Neither one of us knows what happens when the camera is not rolling or what’s being cut from the show.
In regards to Eva (assuming u talking about season 3 winner of ANTM)…she was arrogant, tactless and need a piece of humble pie. AND…she got it!!! Now she ended up winning so maybe she was preparing her for something greater. Eva’s career has expanded since being on top model….so maybe she got a REALITY CHECK..from Tyra….a small price to pay for a greater reward.
Exploit…..hmmm I don’t think that’s the right word. May confronts issues that many do not talk about.
Now don’t get me wrong, Tyra irks me to no end sometimes however I believe she is an inspiration. In her own right!
