FABLife (also known by its full title Tyra Presents FABLife; FAB is an acronym for "Fun And Beautiful"[1]) is an American syndicated daily lifestyle panel talk show. It premiered on September 14, 2015 in the United States and Canada.

On January 19, 2016, Disney-ABC announced that it has canceled FABLife after one season due to low ratings.

Production

The series, which made its debut on September 14, 2015, is distributed by and in association with Disney-ABC Domestic Television as a co-production with main host Tyra Banks's production company, The Tyra Banks Company.

The hour-long series is being produced and hosted by Tyra Banks, with a round table lineup that consists of model and food writer Chrissy Teigen, fashionista Joe Zee, interior designer Lauren Makk, and do-it-yourself YouTuber Leah Ashley, using a format similar to The View, The Talk, The Real and The Social, offering up wide range of topics from celebrity gossip to do-it-yourself tips.[2][3]

The eight ABC O&O stations committed to the show upon its announcement, with other different broadcast groups such as E. W. Scripps Company, Tegna, Media General and Cox Media following.[2]

On Friday November 20, 2015 Tyra Banks said in a statement that she's leaving the show in December in order to focus more on her cosmetics company TYRA Beauty. She was expected to come back to make occasional appearances and continue as executive producer, but eventually severed her ties to the program altogether.

On Tuesday, January 19, 2016, ABC/Disney announced that it chose not to renew FABLife for a second season. The series continued to air new episodes that were already scheduled and produced until spring.[4] FABLife ended its run Summer 2016.

Reception

Rick Kissell, Senior Editor, for Variety magazine, states: "The panel series from Disney-ABC Television Distribution averaged a 1.1 household rating/3 share in 53 of Nielsen’s metered markets, a 0.5/4 in women 18–49 and a 0.6/4 in women 25–54 — ranking as the top syndicated newcomer in all categories."[5]
