Penetrating Tyra Banks' interview of Ryan Seacrest goes to Smithsonian
The Smithsonian National Museum of American History's entertainment collection proudly announced today that it will add the fascinating episode of "Tyra" where Tyra Banks interviews Ryan Seacrest to its prestigious collection. Billed as "one of the finest interviews in the history of television," the collection's curator, Dwight Blocker Bowers, says it is a significant addition to the Smithsonian. He told Dateline Hollywood the following:
"We were interested in getting some of Mike Wallace's penetrating interviews from '60 Minutes' as well as Dan Rather's interview with Saddam Hussein. We were about to close the deal when we came upon this gem of an interview with Ms. Banks interviewing Mr. Seacrest. She asks him about the frosting of his hair and asks if Simon is really a mean guy. Stunning. We're so glad future generations who will come to the museum will have the chance to see it. We're currently in negotiations to acquire the 'Tyra' episode in which she puts on a fat suit."
