The Tyra Banks Show (also known as and shortened to Tyra or The Tyra Show) is an American talk show hosted by Tyra Banks.

It premiered on September 12, 2005 in front of a live-to-tape audience at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. The series was created to fill in the empty slot after The Ricki Lake Show was discontinued.^{[citation needed]} In summer 2007 the show moved to New York City where it is filmed in the Chelsea Studios which was formerly occupied by Ricki Lake.^[2] and is now recorded in front of a live-to-tape audience at Chelsea Studios in New York City. The final five all-new episodes from Los Angeles were aired the week of September 3, 2007 and followed by the 3rd season premiere on following week, September 10, 2007 in New York City. The fourth season began on September 8, 2008.

While the show covers a variety of topics, there is a sensationalized focus on current issues facing women, with often special episodes on America's Next Top Model. The show is aired in many countries, and is also available on XM Satellite Radio's Take Five channel in both the United States and Canada. In recent years, it has taken on a format similar to shows such as Maury and The Jerry Springer Show, covering topics such as people with odd psychological problems, among other subjects.

On December 19, 2007, the show was renewed an additional two seasons in syndication, 2008–2009 and 2009–2010. However, in November 2008, Warner Bros. announced the program would move to The CW network's daytime block in September 2009, with both an archive episode and a current-season episode airing daily. As The CW already airs ANTM, the move is seen by network officials as a "strategic alignment of interests for The CW's stations" as both shows will now air on the same channel nationwide.^[3]

On June 20, 2008, The Tyra Banks Show won a Daytime Emmy in the "Outstanding Talk Show Informative" category.^[4]

As of September 7, 2009, Tyra made its debut on The CW, with a new logo and new music.^[5]

On August 30, 2009 The Tyra Banks Show won another Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show (Informative), beating out Dr. Phil and The Doctors.
