Who is keeping The Tyra Banks Show on the air?

In this clip, a characteristically overeager Banks has rapper Bow Wow sit on her lap for the sex talk he never got during his fatherless childhood. She makes a joke of it and tells him that when a man loves a woman, he "puts his flower stem all over her petals."

Banks then asks the young man to reveal his crush. It's on musician/actress Eve (who, it just so happens, is there). Banks gets excited before making guest Dita Von Teese, now a third wheel, trade places with Eve so that she can sit next to Bow Wow and dish.

It's very awkward to watch, and it's very frustrating to know that many people must like that feeling, as the show continues its daily frenzied press into American homes.

    Whatever, it's totally not awkward when the person giving you the sex talk starts stroking your upper thigh while telling you how "manly" and "muscular" you're becoming. Prudes.

    Some day he won't be able to outrun us. I don't know Janice, I think we've accomplished a lot today. Will we be rewarded with some kind of award?

    Like an award they give to commenters? You know, maybe if they did something on a weekly basis?

    I wonder what kind of fun award you could be referring to? My, that sure would be a fun end to a fun day, wouldn't it? Rewards can be so… rewarding.

    Oh, Janice. I ate a handful of keebler cookies and I'm not feeling so good. Does Keebler make cheetos? I think this may be some kind of revenge. I'm not above giving and elf a beat down. You with me?

    For sure, juju. I've got your back. Can we teach those little assholes, Snap, Crackle and Pop a lesson too? Sometimes there are little burnt crisps in their cereal, and they hurt my teeth.

    Totally. We'll have to be careful though, he's got a sword. And he's probably crazy.

    Can we also rip those Sour Patch Kids a new one? They're always so tasty that I eat them til my tongue hurts, and I find that offensive.

    Southie has forever ruined my Depp fantasies by inserting Cheetohands Spears in there. For that, he deserves infidelity.

    Hmm I'm not even gonna lie, I watched the Tyra Show and the entire time couldn't help but feel incredibly uncomfortable for everyone involved in the show.

    But that uncomfortable feeling was soon bypassed by peace as I imagined bouncing Uncle Johnny Depp on my lap. Mmmmm

    Does anyone else think that Trya was PISSED just for a second that he didn't pick her as his first crush and instead picked Eve? Plus as she set him up on her lap, for the sex talk, she says he is " all muscular and sexified. Excuse my breath…" Giggle…
    I may be very old, but that is NOT how it went down with our sons when I was in that predicament with the sex talk. There was a lot more clearing of throats, and stuttering. And I know MY face turned red.
    (But then again, I wasn't out for ratings on a show.)

    Come to think of it, this reminds me of the time when I was a young a nubile queencrone in high school. The driver's ed teacher kept me after class one day. Now we all heard the rumors about this driver's ed teacher, Mr. Gries. He like to "moonlight" and teach sex ed after hours. Well, his wife also taught at my school. So as he was about to start "instruction" I told him that I thought I saw Mrs. Gries, the math teacher coming down the hallway. He excused me. Whew.
    Plus he had bad breath like Trya.

    Ewwwwwwww, bad breath and a perv. He's a catch.

    I didn't have that talk with my sons. My husband did. He had some books and possibly even a chart. They were horrified at the word, sperm. Me too boys.

    We have one daughter so I handle those dissussions. I will not be using my mothers sex talk. "Boys only want one thing and they'll give you diseases." It really wasn't a detterent.
