Tyra Banks is ending “The Tyra Show“, her daytime TV talk show, to focus on Bankable Studios, her own film production company in New York. Tyra Banks, a supermodel and TV talk show host and mogul, announced that this fifth season of “The Tyra Show” will be the last. On her website, the supermodel and TV mogul stated:

“This will be the last season of ‘The Tyra Show.’ I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms [and] hair salons for the past 5 years.”

Tyra Banks will end her TV talk show, "The Tyra Show".

Banks, however, assured her fans and viewers that the move to end the TV talk show was not due to any decline in ratings, writing on her website:

“The thing is, ‘The Tyra Show’ is not leaving because of YOU. Most times, a show leaves the air because not many people are watching. Well, you all ARE watching, in record numbers. You must know this love and support is always felt by me and it’s given me the courage to take more exciting steps in my life. So I thank you for that.”

Tyra Banks also displays her enthusiasm on her impending career shift which will lead her to focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, her own film production company in New York. Banks wrote on her website:

“This year I’ll be unveiling some HUGE surprises from me and my company Bankable – new out-of-the-box projects. And I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’ll be launching Bankable Studios soon, which means my company will be making MOVIES!!! And what I love about creating new projects is that it also creates new jobs for talented people, in front of and behind the camera.”

The African-American supermodel and famous talk show host also paid homage to Oprah Winfrey, who also recently announced that she would end her own daytime TV talk show on September 2011. For Oprah, the move was set for her focus on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Tyra noted:

“Before I go, I have to pay homage to the ultimate Queen of Talk, Oprah, who made a huge impact on my life by giving me my first shot in daytime TV. We all know she announced that her last year with her talk show will be in the 2010-2011 season. We will all miss her show so much. And to you Oprah: You have had, and continue to have, such an amazing impact on me. I salute you.”

But her reality modeling competition will stay afloat, as Tyra Banks will continue with “America’s Next Top Model”. The next season of the hit reality modeling competition “America’s Next Top Model” will air in 2010.
