Tyra Banks' daytime talk show, "The Tyra Banks Show," should not have been a hit. Conventional wisdom tells us that for every "Rosie" or "Ellen," there are a hundred Carnie Wilsons or Roseanne Barr trainwrecks, as daytime is still the place you go when you have personal branding power without the grounding influence of true skill.

Not so with Tyra.
