NEW YORK CITY -- And then there were ten.
The Montel Williams Show ended on Friday after 17 years of syndication. Mr. Williams covered just about every topic over that time frame. This included war, economy, terrorism, women's reproductive rights, LGBT rights, domestic violence, sexual assault, immigration, child abuse, animal abuse, sports, and other topics covered over the ten talk shows still in syndication: Ellen, Dr. Phil, Keith Ablow, Steve Wilkos Show, Jerry Springer, Oprah, Martha, Rachael Ray, Maury and Tyra Banks Show. His guests were legendary -- they included nativists like Lou Dobbs, burlesque dancers, political pundits like Paul Krugman, athletes, leaders of the 527 political groups (the interest groups) and political leaders themselves.
Mr. Williams is a former member of the military who began by talking to kids in schools and arenas across the nation. Then his talk show was what shot him up to stardom. Mr. Williams set the bar for giving us the scoop on current events, and it is now up to the ten remaining hosts to keep us informed of what is happening on such a critical election year.
Goodbye, Mr. Williams.
