Janice Dickinson: I Made Tyra Bank's Show a Hit

Janice Dickinson recalls her time as a judge on Tyra Banks' "America's Next Top Model," prior to being let go for "personal reasons."

"Tyra hires people, uses them and then boots them out and hires the next person. I guess for a nominal fee," the former supermodel tells "The Insider."

Regardless, Janice says Tyra is great. "Damn right, I'm jealous. Of course, everybody is jealous of the great Tyra. She's Tyra."

When asked if she would return to the judges' table of "ANTM," the outspoken reality TV star responds, "In a heartbeat. I would love to get it on with Tyra."

Janice has her own show on Oxygen called "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" and appeared on NBC's "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here," while "ANTM" premiered this week.

  • Janice should be jealous. Tyra out ranks her by far - she's classy and doesn't use rude, crude, nasty, disrespectful comments. I love Tyra.
