Tyra Banks pretends to have Rabies

Last fall, Tyra Banks announced that this season would be the final season of “The Tyra Banks Show.” Banks said that with so many other projects going on, she would not be able to focus adequate attention on the television show. Aside from her talk show, Tyra Banks runs a production company and is very hands-on with “America’s Next Top Model,” a bigger hit than her talk show.

Many people had predicted Tyra Banks to fill the void that is going to be left by Oprah Winfrey when her show comes to an end next year. For the people who made that assumption, they have been proven wrong. In a sense of irony, Tyra Banks’ show will actually go off of the air before the long-running Oprah Winfrey show. This comes even after Oprah announced her show’s cancellation first.

Now, in the last month of “The Tyra Banks Show,” the ratings are beginning to decline. In many markets, Banks goes head-to-head with Oprah. Because of that, she has been a distant second to Oprah for the past five years. When it appeared that she was finally ready to move into first place, Tyra Banks decided to move completely off of the map. Last Friday, she attempted to gain some quick ratings.
In television talk show history, no host has ever played a prank on their fans.

However, Tyra Banks decided to make history. At the start of the show, Banks pretends to have the rabies infection. Not only does she begin to act as if she is possessed, but she also foams at the mouth. This was all to kick off an episode about pranks between friends. In the show, she gives the audience tips on how to pull good pranks.

“The Tyra Banks Show” has officially “jumped the shark.”
