About Me


Visit the website for my talk show

Find out when "The Tyra Banks Show" is on in your area

Want to be on my show? Tell me your story!


Me in my first NYC apartment. I was 19 years old. I thought I was sooo grown cuz I had my own taste. Back then I always used to fool around and pose like this. I love crazy.
Me at 19 in my hotel room in Milan, Italy after a fashion show. See, I always posed like this. From America all the way to Europe.
Guess who?!?!
I liked my makeup here, but now that I look back on it, it looks like some sadomasochist vampire I was tryin' to look Egyptian but thats really just a bracelet that I stretched out.
This is me doin' my 'Fire Marshall Bill' impersonation of Jim Carrey in "In Living Color" - some of y'all might be too young to remember that!
This is me and my friend Yaniece in Maui - I was tryin' to rock shorter hair back then, so I took the weave out for my vacation!

My Interests

This list is going to be WAY too long, so here are a few for starters: 1. Going to movies and critiquing them with friends 2. Concocting new sauces at the dinner table 3. Collecting fortunes from fortune cookies 4. Trying new restaurants and pigging out with my buddies 5. Crocheting (just kidding!)

Music:

I FINALLY signed up for iTunes because of The Pussy Cat Dolls! I heard their song “Stickwitu” and had to buy it right away - I'm telling you this song is hot! Here's a list of favorites on my iPod now:1. Sarah McLachlan: ANGEL 2. Tracy Chapman: FAST CAR 3. India.Arie: JUST FOR TODAY (okay, this is my theme song and it's not available for sale yet - but when India.Arie drops this you better believe it will be on my site for the talk show!!!) 4. Boyz to Men: WATER RUNS DRY 5. Chaka Khan: I'M EVERY WOMAN (I love singing this one at the top of my lungs) 6. Roberta Flack: KILLING ME SOFTLY 7. Marvin Gaye: WHAT'S GOING ON 8. Deelite: GROOVE IS IN THE HEART (gets me shakin' my groove thang) 9. Amerie: ONE THING (make me wanna drop it like it's hot) 10. Prince: GET OFF

Movies:

Love, love, LOVE going to the movie theater!!!! Can't stay away from nachos with extra cheese - but when I'm renting a movie at home I always put honey on extra buttery microwave popcorn. Hmmm, that's good! If you're having a weekend with your girls, rent "Pretty Woman." It's the best chick flick ever - hands down!!!

Television:

I love TV, but I just might love my TIVO even more! I never have time to watch my shows when they air, but TIVO takes care of that little problem. Some of my favorite shows are Will & Grace, Commander in Chief, Being Bobby Brown (hell to the no - come on... it's SO hard NOT to watch it) and America's Next Top Model!I know. I know. Top Model is MY show but hey, I love working on it and I think it's a blast to watch. I enjoy showing everyone what REALLY goes on in the modeling biz because it ain't always pretty.
