• In May 2006, Banks went to a maximum security prison to meet some of the female inmates to learn about their experiences. As a visitor, she was subjected to all tests and searches that prisoners undergo, including a public and invasive strip search. On the show, she said it was "one of the hardest things she had ever had to go through." Banks also interviewed prisoners who had been released during her day at the prison.

Banks asked the studio audience to leave for the interview so she could face Naomi one-on-one. The pair successfully reconciled.

• In one episode, Banks interviewed several workers from a legal brothel, and showed real footage of one of these prostitutes lying in bed with a client discussing price options.

• She also featured some guests who hate their own race and all people of that descent.

• Another notable show featured Banks confronting members of Reverend Fred Phelps's anti-gay family to explore the issue of homophobia.

• When tabloids released a few photographs of Tyra "40 pounds heavier in 2 months", she appeared on the show wearing the same bathing suit as in the photograph and defended that she was not fat (also stating that there is nothing wrong with fat). She ended by saying "Kiss my fat ass!", in reply to those who criticize women about their weight.
