  • Tyra’s audience full of actors?

    You might have heard that Tyra Banks wants people to start taking her show more seriously. Perhaps, for a truly serious show, it’s best not to leave audience-generated questions in the hands of an actual audience. Who knows what they might come up with?

    Tom, a recent Tyra audience member, and America's Next Top Model buddy of mine, recently called me up ecstatic.

    “I’m going to Tyra,” he announced. The show booked an all-male audience for a segment on, well, men and relationships. Tom noticed that those in the audience who got to ask questions or interact with Tyra weren’t in the waiting room with the other audience members before the show began, and at the end of filming all left through a separate door as the other audience members.

    His conclusion? The lot of them were actors. To a degree, this made some sense. As Tom himself pointed out, “it’s supposed to be a show about heterosexual relationships, and the entire audience was filled with gays.”
