The long-running 'America's Next Top Model' finally came to an end on its 22nd season where it hailed Nyle DiMarco, also known as the first ever hearing impaired contestant, as the final winner. However, if given the chance to be revived, will Tyra Banks reprise her role as host? She says yes!
In an interview with Variety, she talks about ANTM's legacy and its possible future. She says that she wanted to end the reality show's run before its actual demise. To quote, "I always like to leave before you're kicked out. That's something that my mother told me -- leave at the end of the beginning. Now there's an outcry of people saying that it's too soon. I've had people send me videos in tears. I find it really interesting. When I retired from modeling, I got mail from some people, but no one was crying or cursing me out." Due to this reaction by the public, people are now wondering if the show will be possibly revived in the future.
The supermodel mentions that if the show will go for another season, it might be in another network. She isn't certain on what's going on in the business side, but she will stick around as producer and host of America's Next Top Model. The 22 seasons of the show just proves the power and the cultural impact it has done throughout the years, and it won't be such a surprise if the viewers will have another taste of the iconic reality competition.
As for the last ever winner of America's Next Top Model, Nyle DiMarco says in an interview with MTV that he has been leveraging his fame by visiting schools for the hearing impaired all across the United States to provide inspiration to those who have the same condition as him. The male model says "I also hope my win will inspire Deaf people to do whatever they want to do in life! The possibilities are endless."
