Host (1:34)

Banks joining us on the Burt Show. How are you this morning?

Tyra Banks (1:36)

I'm just great.

Host (1:38)

You know, in reading over your bio yesterday, I didn't realize how much you really kind of pioneered modeling.

Tyra Banks (1:45)

Oh God, that sounds scary.

Host (1:46)

Well, first, first African American woman to grace the covers of GQ magazine, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and Victoria's Secret catalog. Yeah. Good for Tyra Banks.

Co-host/Commentator (1:58)

Yes. That's a huge accomplishment. Congratulations.

Tyra Banks (2:01)

Thank you.

Host (2:01)

Is gracing the COVID of the Sports Illustrated magazine, like, is that the crown jewel, do you think, in your career? Cause I mean, you constantly hear about the buzz of being on the COVID of that Magazine.

Tyra Banks (2:13)

Yeah, I think it really did help a lot. I really think it made me, you know, everybody in America say, oh, who's that girl?

Co-host/Commentator (2:19)

You know, I'm just kind of curious. When you're on the COVID of Sports Illustrated or the many covers, how many copies do you buy when you go.

Tyra Banks (2:27)

Out to get it, you know, what you do is you ask for them to send you the boxes and boxes of them.

Co-host/Commentator (2:31)

Okay.

Tyra Banks (2:32)

Okay.

Host (2:32)

All right. That's smart. That must be so cool. Just like walking down the streets in New York and, you know, you're trying not to look at yourself on a magazine, but, damn, there I am.

Co-host/Commentator (2:40)

Yeah, exactly.

Host (2:41)

That's gotta be the coolest thing.

Co-host/Commentator (2:43)

I think that's Tyra Banks nothing. She's walked past my newsstand eight times.

Host (2:47)

For every, you know, photo shoot that you got to do on, like, these exotic locations. Once you became Tyra Banks, where are some of the places that you had to shoot that you're like, I gotta get that hell out of here?

Tyra Banks (2:59)

Anywhere with sand and water? I know that sounds crazy, but I hate shooting on a beach. Really many beaches. As I've shot on, the sand just gets all in weird places. You have to change with a towel wrapped around you in front of everybody, taking pictures of you. Like all these tourists and stuff. Taking pictures while you change. The sun is all bright and killing my eyes, and I have to look into the sun. I hate it.

Host (3:23)

Whenever they show the Sports Illustrated shoot on espn, when they show the video, there's always one lucky, smiling son of ass obait that has the water that has to spritz you guys down. That's his job. The spritzing guy.

Tyra Banks (3:37)

What it looks like he's gay, though. He ain't cute on the gay spritzer.

Interviewer/Co-host (3:42)

How much upkeep does it take? What's your daily regime like? What do you do that requires you to look the way you look and be the way you are? Because we think you're born that way. And we know you are. You're gorgeous. But there's gotta be, like, exfoliating, all that stuff that we wouldn't do on a normal basis to keep.

Tyra Banks (3:58)

Well, I don't really do any of that stuff like that Prep stuff I don't really do. But I do sit in a hair and makeup chair for three and a half hours.

Host (4:07)

I've always wanted to.

Tyra Banks (4:08)

I don't get facials and all that stuff. I don't do that.

Host (4:10)

Do you supermodel?

Interviewer/Co-host (4:11)

Like, do you.

Host (4:12)

Do you think you're beautiful? Like, when you look at yourself in the mirror without the makeup on and the hair and everything all done.

Tyra Banks (4:16)

Do you go without it?

Host (4:17)

Yeah, without it.

Tyra Banks (4:18)

When I look in the mirror, I look at myself as a palette. I look at myself as saying, you know, I know I have the capability to be transformed into anything, but I don't look at myself when I'm all natural and say, ooh, girl, you fine. I don't do that.

Host (4:32)

What advice do you give young girls that are getting into modeling? Because for every Tyra banks, there are 5,000 little girls that think it's probably cool to drop out of school and pursue modeling.

Tyra Banks (4:42)

Yeah, I tell them, get your education first. I didn't drop out of school. I had a friend that dropped out and she didn't really have much success. I did finish high school and I applied to four colleges and got into every single one of them.

Interviewer/Co-host (4:53)

Good for you.

Tyra Banks (4:55)

But I was discovered and I didn't go to college. I went to Paris instead. But you know, the advice I tell girls is to. That it's not just about beautiful. You know, that you might be the prettiest girl in school or college or whatever it may be. And then you go into a modeling agency and you get your feelings hurt because there's so many beautiful girls. But they're looking for that extra special something. They're looking for somebody that photographs spectacularly, and they're also looking for a personality. And just because you're beautiful doesn't mean that you photograph great. And just because you're not gorgeous doesn't mean that you're won't take a good picture.

Host (5:25)

What were some of the rejection lines that Tyra Banks heard before you made it?

Tyra Banks (5:29)

I heard that we already have enough black girls. We have somebody that looks just like you. Your lips are too big, your nose is too soft. You know, all kind of stuff.

Co-host/Commentator (5:40)

In a society where beauty for any woman is apparently priority on everybody's mind, how do you detach yourself from those criticisms and not let it get you down? Because that's gotta be rough. Where everywhere you go, somebody is pinpointing every single little flaw that they can that, you know, is seemingly ridiculous.

Tyra Banks (5:59)

Yeah, that's interesting you say that because I talk to girls and I talk to girls on my show about that. That this industry, you know, you can come into it with the highest self esteem, but it can slowly break you down, you know, with people pointing out flaws that you didn't even know that you had. And who's to say it's a flaw? But my mom taught me to look at myself as a product and to separate myself from the product, you know, so you can, like, buff the product. You know, you can wash your face. You know, you can brush your teeth and floss and maybe get your teeth bleached or something. But, you know, your product is whatever it is. And if people aren't wanting that product, it doesn't mean they don't want you. It just means, you know, that that product is not really hot right now, and it's time to move on to something else, as opposed to saying, they don't want me. They don't want me. I don't see it as me. I see it as a separate entity from me.

Host (6:43)

We're going to talk to tyra about her new television show in just one second. I have to ask you this question, though. What flaw do you have on your body that is airbrushed the most?

Tyra Banks (6:55)

Dimples on my booty.

Gift Wrapper/Shopper (6:58)

Booty dimples.

Tyra Banks (7:00)

Cellulite on the backs of the thighs. Dark circles underneath my eyes. Yeah, Those are my main ones.

Host (7:06)

So are there times where you're looking at pictures of you going, oh, my God, I can't believe they can hide that?

Tyra Banks (7:11)

No. Sometimes I'm like, oh, my God. I can't believe they didn't retouch them.

Host (7:17)

Tell us about the new television show, because it has to do with all this stuff.

Tyra Banks (7:20)

Yeah. I created this show, America's next top model. It's a dramalogy. We follow them 24 7, similar to the show the real world on mtv, but there's, you know, of course, an element of modeling, and I kind of guide them through this whole crazy modeling world. And, you know, after eight weeks, the best girl is left standing, and she's starving.

Host (7:40)

This is the kind of thing where a girl gets eliminated every week.

Tyra Banks (7:43)

Yeah, every week a girl does get eliminated.

Host (7:45)

And this has been taped already, I'm guessing.

Tyra Banks (7:47)

Yeah, it's been taped. We already have our winner.

Host (7:49)

And did a lot of the issues that come up in the modeling world Come up during the taping of this series?

Tyra Banks (7:55)

I think most of the issues in the modeling world, I tried to keep this as close to the true modeling world as possible. And the drama came with the girls personalities and cat fighting and things like that. But in terms of the modeling world, it's really legitimate and true.

Interviewer/Co-host (8:11)

Tara, I got a question for you. I'm a little starstruck right now. Just letting you know, do you actually someone like yourself, Like, a big, successful model, do you actually watch the real world?

Tyra Banks (8:21)

I love that show.

Gift Wrapper/Shopper (8:22)

Do you?

Interviewer/Co-host (8:23)

So what's Your favorite season.

Tyra Banks (8:25)

I like Las Vegas and I liked Seattle. No, I liked New York.

Interviewer/Co-host (8:31)

Oh, you didn't like Seattle?

Tyra Banks (8:33)

Which one was Seattle? Was that when that guy bitch slapped that girl in the car?

Host (8:36)

Yeah.

Tyra Banks (8:37)

Yeah, I like that one too. That was a good one.

Host (8:38)

See, Lindsey's asking. Cause she was on that show.

Tyra Banks (8:40)

Oh, you were? Yeah.

Host (8:42)

Sorry.

Interviewer/Co-host (8:42)

That's right. It's like you never. I mean, well, use the real.

Co-host/Commentator (8:45)

I mean, yeah. If you're starstruck, use a Real World card. Absolutely.

Host (8:48)

Yeah.

Interviewer/Co-host (8:48)

I mean, it's just. It's cool because you. You compared your show and I just think you are. I think you're the most gorgeous model out there.

Tyra Banks (8:55)

Thank you.

Interviewer/Co-host (8:55)

And it's so wonderful to hear that you have so much personality and you're so well spoken and just incredible. You're a great role model.

T-Mobile Representative (9:01)

So.

Interviewer/Co-host (9:01)

But it's also. It's funny to think that someone as cool as yourself would watch, you know, a show that. Yeah, because we think that nobody listens to the radio show either.

Host (9:10)

Well, we've got the ratings to prove that.

Interviewer/Co-host (9:11)

Yeah. So it's cool to find that, you know, one of your role models does.

Tyra Banks (9:17)

Oh, hell yeah. I watch the real world.

Host (9:19)

Tyra Banks.

Tyra Banks (9:20)

The name of the show, America's Next Top Model that comes on on Tuesday at 9 o', clock, 8 Central and UPN.

Host (9:27)

We will be sure on Tuesday to remind people to watch it.

Thanks a lot, Tyra. Bye now.

Tyra Banks (9:32)

Bye.

Host (9:33)

See ya. Boy, she seemed cool. Yeah, she's really cool.

Co-host/Commentator (9:36)

Yeah.

Host (9:36)

And you talk about a great role model for your kids.

Co-host/Commentator (9:38)

Absolutely. And I think you know the show, hopefully, like she said, if it's so close to the modeling world, that'll be good for young kids to watch and see what you know, they really are getting into.

Gift Wrapper/Shopper (9:48)
