Tyra Banks Returns to ABC Daytime TV with 'FabLife'

Tyra Banks is making her way back to daytime TV with a new show that is described as a guide to beauty, fashion, food, design and more. FABlife will premiere on ABC, a network that Banks has worked with in the past, on Monday Sept. 14; and this time she's doing things her way while bringing along Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Leah Ashley and Lauren Mack.

It was back in 2009 when the popular ABC Tyra talk show wrapped up production for good and Banks went on to further her career as a producer with her own Bankable Studios. She also really devoted her time and attention to her highly rated TV shows America's Next Top Model and True Beauty. Though the network pursued her for years to make her return to daytime TV, she always declined until recently when the answer became yes. According to Deadline, what changed her mind was her past working relationship with now ABC Daytime and syndicated programming EVP, Lisa Hackner.

According to Banks, she was pulled back into the idea when Hackner proposed a roundtable format for the show, where Banks would still executive produce but wouldn't have to hold the weight and success of the show on her own which she describes as "very, very difficult."

EUR confirmed the news of her 2015 new show and released the promo video where Banks explains all that's to come with the new project. Of course, fashion and beauty is the model's area of expertise but also seated at the rountable will be Teigen, the show's food expert; Zee, providing more insight on fashion, a DIY expert with Ashley and home improvement tips from Makk; which makes for a well rounded show. Watch the promo below.
