''Iyanla'' will talk no more
By Melissa Grego
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Freshman syndicated talk show ``Iyanla,'' starring prolific author Iyanla Vanzant, has been canceled.
Production will wrap at the end of this week. Reruns will air in national syndication through the end of March.
``Iyanla'' is one of many syndicated shows to struggle this season. The court show ``Power of Attorney,'' talk show ``Talk or Walk'' and game show ``Card Sharks'' already have been canceled.
``It would have been great if the show would have worked but it is really ok that it didn't,'' Vanzant said in a statement blaming the show's demise on the Sept. 11 tragedy. ``I am grateful to have had the opportunity. Sometimes the climate is not right for what you are doing.''
``Iyanla,'' executive produced by news maven Barbara Walters and her business partner Bill Geddie, lost its prime 10 a.m. slot in the key Los Angeles market earlier this year.
