TV show description:
A syndicated, daytime talk show that’s hosted by Montel Williams; an actor, a former member of the US Marines and Navy, and a Multiple Sclerosis survivor.
In the series’ early years, it focuses on controversial and sensational tabloid subjects. Over time, as that format fell out of favor with audiences, the program began focusing on inspirational stories and people who need help in changing their lives in some way.
The show features interviews with influential politicians, experts, and ordinary people dealing with extraordinary circumstances. Show subjects include social problems like infidelity, domestic violence, the welfare and foster care systems, substance abuse, and many youth issues.
The show’s After-Care Program helps some guests to receive psychological counseling, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and treatment for eating disorders as needed.
On Wednesday episodes, in later years, self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne is the featured guest and provides readings to audience members and discusses spirituality and the afterlife.

Daer Montel and Producers:
I was watching your prgram this morning and thought I would write you a note. However after reading that your show was cancelled I became very upset. This show has been a part of my watching for the past year. I wanted to ask you to do a segment on Complex Regional Sypathetic Dystrophy, or RSD. But being though you have been cancelled I guess there is no need to ask for your help.
Thank you,
Cynthia Thomas
