Montel Williams, the longtime host of his own daytime talk show, said goodbye to his program last March after 17 years on the air.
The cancellation came as a result of key FOX stations opting not to renew the series. More than a few people have suggested that this was due, at least in part, to Williams’ criticism of the media’s excessive coverage of Heath Ledger’s death compared to little coverage of the Iraq War. Whatever the reason for the cancellation, Williams isn’t done with daytime just yet.
Williams is already shopping a new show to syndicators. If all goes according to plan, the new series will be called Living Well with Montel and will be based on the lifestyle and diet guide that was published last January. The book is described as containing the host’s “personal recipe for healthy and happy living” as well as a 21-day fitness and nutrition program. Williams was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999 and attributes much his good health to exercise and diet.

The energetic host has reportedly been shopping the new series to affiliate stations and distributors ever since he learned that The Montel Williams Show would be coming to an end. A distributor or exact show format haven’t been locked down as yet.
Though his new show isn’t ready for daytime just yet, Williams won’t be leaving the air anytime soon. CBS has been selling stations a “best of” package of the Williams Show for the 2008-09 season. The deal gives affiliates a selection of rerun episodes and additional advertising time. Stay tuned! 
i am from Canada and i love her alot i wish i could see her myself and ask her some question myself thank you
I was at a taping of Living Well with Montel Williams a few weeks back, and after personally witnessing his purportedly “new and exciting” television show format I can tell you that what Montel is now producing is nothing short of a run of the mill, low budget/low quality infomercial. It is a travesty that news sources (i.e. NY Times) have picked up his press release and publically recognized this format as anything more than the pathetic effort to sell low quality products in a totally ordinary and standard approach. The claim that these programs offer a unique combination of… Read more »
I would love to see Montel back on tv with Sylvia Browne…..The 2 of them have such a rapport. I am personally dismayed that Sylvia is taking such nasty hits, in my opinion, she is helping a great number of people, I guess it goes back to the old thoughts, “hate what you don`t understand”. Please come back to TV Montel, and bring Sylvia with you…..

I watched Montel with Sylvia every week for years and she has helped the lives of people who come on the show and those I have seen in person!!!!! The uninformed and unscrupulous slammers of sylvia need to read up on thier subject matter before saying anything more….
I find it comical that there are people out there that don’t believe in the fact that Sylvia’s main ability is to do her best at assuring us that we are ALL loved by God, we should accept and respect others, we should not judge, only worry about our own lives and choices, and that above all else…there’s something after this existence. Sure, people can say what they want about her not being right every time, but why not ask ALL of those doctors who have given people with terminal diseases only months to live, and yet, those same terminal… Read more »
Montel should be ashamed of himself for ever letting Sylvia Browne on the air in the first place.
She’s a dangerous fraud and nothing but a vulture preying on people’s grief. Montel’s association with her has lead me to completely lose all the respect for him that I once had.
Montel has no honor…why he continues to schill for a fraud such as Sylvia is beyond me. Anyone who doubts Sylvia is a fraud is free to check out stopsylviabrowne.com…unless you’re afraid of the truth.
If Montel lets Sylvia appear on his show then he must change the title from “Living Well with Montel” to “Encouraging exploitation using a shyster with Montel.” Montel is a joke if he uses the name healthy in the title of his show yet gives unscrupulous quacks a platform to push their toxic wares.
Er.. why would anyone want to see an abmysal fraud?
If Montel’s “people,” or Montel himself, still give Sylvia Browne a platform after reading the evidence of her disgraceful, abhorent behavior on StopSylviaBrowne.com, they are every bit as evil as she is. Montel, did you sell your honor to the devil?
Any advertiser who promotes a program where the predator Sylvia is allowed peddle her trash has earned my disgust.
Sylvia did so well on Shawn Hornbeck, didn’t she? She was WRONG on everything she said about him. Did she ever apologize to his parents? I know the answer to that, no, she didn’t. How inhuman can you be, that you represent yourself as having some special gift and when you say something that awful and are proven wrong, you don’t even apologize to the family for any grief you may have caused. Never mind the time that was wasted by family and friends trying to follow up on anything she said. I just hope it didn’t waste any police… Read more »
Oh, we understand alright. Sylvia TRIED to backpaddle when she farked up and said the miners were still alive. She really drowned in it when she tried to say where dead children were. She said twenty years ago that 2 year-old Michael would be found after he was taken from the baseball game, and he’s STILL missing. Her guesses suck, obviously dead people don’t talk to her. Selective memories can’t protect her anymore. The only time she gets things right is if the media has already reported on it. Get a clue and stop paying her for her lies.
