Interestingly, the 46-year-old actor recalled her experience in the show America’s Next Top Model. She stated that she often messed up there and told the editors to leave it in. She further added that mess-ups make things human and make them look live. The supermodel also stated that some of the best hosting moments have come from mistakes. As the conversation moved ahead, Banks said that the producer in her knows that even though a few people bother mess-ups, it is better than being like a doll.

A Twitter user wrote: "Holey Moley Tyra is HORRIBLE. @ABC call an audible and bring back Tom and Erin RIGHT NOW. #DWTS29 is not worth watching," while another's remark read, "It's called Dancing With the Stars, not the Tyra show. It's not all about you honey @tyrabanks."
