very serious business

Contributed by Milford Woods


Montel Williams has been around the daytime television scene and I've watched his show from the beginning of its lifetime. Although there have been periods when I found that Montel was less enjoyable than others, and others where I felt he was too harsh on his guests, I am still ranking him as my favorite host and his show as my favorite talk show.
His show puts a unique twist on the talk show theme because he usually has some startling revelation that comes out at the end of his show. It's built around the suspense of his guests not even knowing the outcome of their specific situation. While this can sometimes be very sad to see, especially in the case of teen pregnancy, it's something that the viewer really enjoys, myself included. I feel bad for the people but at the same time, they've chosen to share their situation with me and I partake in that situation emotionally. I feel odd doing this sometimes but I live with it. Montel is a permanent fixture on my satellite TV, that I got after getting directTV, schedule and will be so as long as his show is on the air. The guy has been around for a very long time and I expect him to continue his talk show magic on into the next few years.
I recommend Montel to anyone that loves personal stories mixed with some suspense.
