ABC 15 Arizona Brings Tyra Banks to the Valley for New Show, ‘F.A.B. Life’

After years of being away from the daytime spotlight, Ms. Tyra Banks is back.

 

She is back as executive producer and host of “FABLife,” a syndicated lifestyle chat show coming to ABC this fall.

 

The F.A.B. stands for “The Fun and the Beautiful,” a concept that was first announced in May of 2014.

 

And as if having the fabulous, supermodel stardom of Tyra Banks on front deck isn’t enough, she will also be accompanied by a killer team of experts offering the best tips in beauty, fashion, food, DIY segments and home design.

 

 

Just like Ms. Tyra, the rest of the crew is no stranger to television.  Lauren Makk starred as a featured interior designer on “Trading Spaces,” while Chrissy Teigen contributed to “The View” and “The Chew.” Fashion guru Joe Zee made several appearances on “Entertainment Tonight,” and while Ashley hasn’t appeared on a talk show before, her lifestyle blog, appropriately titled “A Fab Life,” includes a number of video series.

 

YouTube star Leah Ashley, interior designer Lauren Makk, model and social media buff Chrissy Teigen and Joe Zee, the editor-in-chief and executive creative officer of Yahoo Fashion.

 

In a recent announcement, Disney said the show has already been sold in 24 of the top 25 markets. Stations in Dallas (WFAA), Atlanta (WSB), Boston (WFXT), Phoenix (KNX) and Seattle (KIRO) are among the latest to pick up the show, virtually assuring “FAB” of a fall premiere.

 

This will be Tyra’s first new project since “The Tyra Banks Show” wrapped up in 2010. She also remains busy with “America’s Next Top Model” now in its 21st season.

 

“FABLife” is premiering September 14th at 1 p.m. on ABC.
