YouTube - Montel turns the tables on a Fox Morning Television show

Very interesting comments by Montel on FOX broadcasting.

Anyone else think it was hilarious when the interviewers start to trip over
eachother trying to explain their reasoning?

[twitchy]

Montels show just got axed.

[*DIVA!]

It's about time!!

So what about the thousands of Iraqis who were raped, publicly humiliated, and the innocents who were killed for the sake of a few terrorists?

STFU Montell. I don't see you acknowledging the troops on your show. Get off your high horse...Heath Ledger's passing is still fresh, you shouldn't be talking about that right now.

Montel Williams' Talk Show to End

3 hours ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Syndicated talk show host Montel Williams is being replaced by a younger version of himself. CBS Television Distribution announced Wednesday that "The Montel Williams Show" will cease production after this television season, his 17th on the air.
Instead, stations that carried his show will be offered a series of Williams reruns. "Best of Montel" will be 52 weeks worth of "some of the most exciting episodes" from the show's history, the producers said.
"I can't say thank you enough to those who've welcomed me into their homes for the past 17 years," Williams said. "It has been both an honor and a joy."

I thought Montel was better of all the other trashy talk shows but except the Sylivia Brown BS he does on his show.

I agree with Montel. The constant coverage of Heath's death is ridiculous. I liked him, no doubt about the fact that i am sad he's gone. But for crying out loud it's not something that needs to be shown every day like it was real news that makes a bit of difference in most peoples' lives. Plus i think all the speculation and accusations without actual proof is disrespectful to his family. This isn't just a hot story or juicy gossip to them, their hearts have just been ripped out. Sure Heath was hot, famous, and talented, but should i mourn his death more than the soldier who gave his life, the fireman who died saving a family, or the doctor who gets killed by a drunk driver? All these news programs have forgotten that the real news does not have to have a "Britney Update" or details about celebrity funerals. There is plenty of shit happening in the world that affects me more than some celebrity's death, craziness, drug use, or whatever. I come here to GR or watch some tabloidy show to get my celeb gossip fix, I find it sad that real news programs have resorted to this. I'm not saying that Montel doesn't exploit for ratings as well, but i find it even less acceptable from legitimate real news program.

^^^ what lisalucy69 said.

I found it ridiculous that one of the Fox hosts defended their position by saying "we've been at war since 2003" like that makes it any better to focus exclusively on the death of one celebrity as opposed to the deaths of multiple soldiers. Then going on to ask if they should have to report on the hundreds of deaths of Americans every day. Puh-lease. As news reporters they should, at the very least, know what's going on in the real world -- the one outside the glamour of Hollywood where us lil people have to live.

Somewhat off-topic, I also find it odd that the majority of soldiers are killed by IED's. Does anyone watch 'The Unit'? A few weeks ago one of the cast members was killed during a fire fight yet the cause of his death was given 'Play 16' which stated he had died when the truck he was in was hit by a road-side bomb. Ever since I've really noticed how many deaths are attributed to this kind of occurance. You'd think that after nearly 5 years in a war zone they'd have some sort of way to combat the #1 killer of troops... or at least use another cover-up story.

I'm sur[rised that Montel is going off the air, even though I think he's kinda boring anyway. I just wish he had done the honorable thing and stopped having Sylvia Browne appear on his show.
