He must have run out of diseases to be afflicted with. I knew someone with MS, so, yeah, that's really funny.  I have a family member with MS. |

But I'm fairly sure they didn't make a public specticle of it during sweeps and also claim they were afflicted with something else in following seasons. Didn't at one point he claim he was almost completly deaf, only to come out later and say that it was a miricle that his hearing had returned or some such crap. I'm not making light of him having MS. I'm not even making light of him going public and raising awareness and money, but when you use that affliction as a ratings stunt and do it two more times with lesser afflictions for some crappy "Your the daddy" style talk show. THAT doesn't sit right with me. |

Fox is exploiting his illness, I don't agree with that either. It is a double standard, but my opinion is, when you have a really terrible illness, it buys you a little leeway in my book, as long as you're not a complete a-hole. |

I watched once when Sylvia Browne said that Clinton would get three straight terms in office and that Montel would win an Emmy for his Matt Waters TV show.

Put that one under the "I should have explained myself more" posts. Heck, I had a friend with MS once apon a time. I wouldn't rail on him for that, But just the way Montell came out with it, then did it at least a couple more times with other afflictions, some of which REALLY sounded exploitive, I just can't hold him in too high a regard. |

Like a wrestling boom I think there was talk show boom that came and went. There was time in the 90s when they were ALL over television.
Montel may be the last of the golden 90s of talk shows.

Syndicated talk show host Montel Williams is being replaced by a younger version of himself. He was cloned? |

Now the question is, what show will be stupid enough to pass off Sylvia Brown as a real psychic now?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I f***ing hate this guy. Granted, I have a bit of bias, seeing as how I was on the show once.
