Tyra Banks’ daytime talk show FABLife just debuted a few months ago. Now, Deadline is reporting Banks is “scaling back” her commitment to the syndicated series.
A month ago, Banks’ long-running America’s Next Top Model was cancelled after a run of 22 seasons. The final episode will air in December. The show could return without Banks.
Banks said leaving FABLife “is a very difficult decision, but necessary.” She’ll apparently appear on the show “2-3 times a week through the end of the year.”
Here’s the joint statement from Disney/ABC and Banks about her departure:
Tyra Banks has made the decision to scale back her role on the show beginning later this month and she will be appearing less frequently as part of the FABLife cast. Tyra will be devoting more time to her new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing her company’s other entertainment ventures.
Tyra remains committed to the growth and success of FABLife and has expressed her sincere thanks for the support our station partners have given the show.
Fortunately, one of FABLife’s greatest strengths is its diverse and strong panel of lifestyle hosts, which include Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Leah Ashley and Lauren Makk. We will continue our goal to refine and grow FABLife, with the goal of making it a daily destination for all things Food, Fashion, Home, Beauty, DIY and Fun.
This is the second time Banks has explored the talk show circuit. She hosted The Tyra Banks Show for five years before it ended in 2010.
What do you think? Do you watch FABLife? Are you sad to see Tyra go?
The show will
Go just great without Tyra. The other are simply amazing. You could in Tyra’s spirit that she was preoccupied and didn’t want to be there anyway. The four host are the perfect….Hooray for Fablife!!!
Love the show, but not sorry to see Tyra go, she’s just toooooo much!!!!!!
Love the show and enthusiasm of ALL the hosts! Tara, busy gal, has to do what she’s got to do. But hope to still see her.
Don’t care if Tyra is there or not like the rest of the hosts. Love Chrissy.
Hate this show, too ewwy, gooey. Hope it goes!! I mess Merideth Viera show!!
Stacy,
Merideth Viera show is still on air??
Show doesn’t need Tyra, it has Christy!!
I think the show is better without Tyra. Maybe less talk at the beginning and more content?
Horrible show!
The program will do well to last its current season.
I absolutely LOVE Fab Life. I think the show will do fantastic without her. Go Chrissy
I just love you and the rest of the cast.
I was just chatting with my husband about getting tickets to the show!! I never miss an episode, I have my DVR set!!
Not fond of show. Prefer Access Hollywood
Love the show. Lots of info, and the time seems to go so fast. Don’t care if Tyra is on it or not. She seems so fake, I can do without her. Really like the rest of the cast!!!! Please keep the show on. FabLife and” Wendy” are the only daytime shows I record!!!
I love FABLife!!! Sorry Tyra’s leaving, but the rest of the cast can handle it just fine, or even better.
Chrissy Tiegen would make a great host!
I don’t like the show OR her.
I agree.
