Promise?

nope

It is always good for old heads to go out on top and let the neos get their shine.

Tyra is the future Oprah.

I thought it was Wendy WIlliams.

Wendy Williams is the new Monique. Or vice versa.

made me queasy on both counts.

God, I hope not.

Awww. :p ANTM and recession aside, Tyra is doing pretty well for herself. She has improved drastically from her first season of The Tyra Show.

If people remember Oprah's first seasons and how she consciously changed her direction, they will see how Tyra can be the next Oprah. :)

I post this way too often but it bears repeating:

I thought that was Kim Wayans on In Living Color for a minute. :(

Her earlier topics were racy and silly. She went from having artists like TLC performing "Baby, Baby, Baby" on her stage to displaying her short term weightloss to talking about strange sex topics.

She was a sign of the talk show times back then and decided to defy the trend. It just so happened to work for her. Longterm. :)

Amen!
