The Tyra Banks Show Arlene Wilkinson interviewed Mark Henkel - July 2006
from National Polygamy Advocate · host Mark Henkel
National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed for "The Tyra Banks Show" by associate producer Arlene Wilkinson on July 24, 2006. This was a nationally syndicated daytime television talk show, serving an audience of mostly women, hosted by renowned supermodel and host/creator of "America's Next Top Model" show, Tyra Banks. (The show's name was also known as "The Tyra Show" and later as just "Tyra.") The producer was exploring options for doing an episode or a segment about polygamy, polyamory, or different things involving "poly" relationships. (Mark Henkel made a “poly” joke about plastic that made the producer laugh.) The producer asked her questions considerately and carefully, trying not to be insensitive in asking anything in an unkind manner, even while asking necessary questions. Mark Henkel was able to give her a positive and insightful education. He also made her laugh more than once. While she was seeking for a polygamous family to be willing to come on the show (i.e., what Mark Henkel has identified as a"circus act request"), she also asked Mark Henkel about what kinds of topical segments or show possibilities on which he or any family might be willing to appear. Knowing what kind of a woman-demographic to which this show was targeted, Mark Henkel said that they would not be willing to do a show with anti-polygamists or with other things such as polyamory, etc. He told her, "It would have to be our own show" - a show only about the marriage commitment of UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy. Nothing developed later after this interview; instead, an episode on polyamory (and how that differs from polygamy) aired on October 9, 2006. Even so, now archived for history, this interview provides listeners with important soundbites and education from Mark Henkel. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
