Death Watch Beatle 40 Posted June 13, 2004 Just thought I would throw another name into the 2005 melting-pot. I found this quote on the net: Williams was diagnosed with MS in 1999 and he has responded by launching the Montel Williams MS Foundation. He won his Emmy as outstanding talk show host in 1996. Probably doesn't mean anything, but you never know ... DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Star 33 Posted June 13, 2004 Does it make him a better chat show host though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 77 Posted June 14, 2004 any disease which rendered one incapable of speech would make Montel a better talk show host. Not that MS is immediate enough to elevate anyone straight onto the list, but out of interest would he pass the famous enough in Britain test? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stayin Alive 26 Posted June 14, 2004 I take it Montel isn't heading for a state funeral too, although he was in the army -right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 40 Posted June 14, 2004 I have heard of Montel Williams - however it is a number of years since I have had anything more than 5 channels of viewing pleasure. Could I have caught his show a few years ago on cable? I don't think it's on main-stream TV - can anyone enlighten me? If he appears on British tv I think he passes the famousity test.

little sister 2 Posted June 14, 2004 his show was on Channel 4 at 5 pm some years ago - probably more than I want to remeber love and kisses little sister Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosey 3 Posted June 15, 2004 A word of caution about sticking Monty in the 2005 melting-pot, just because he's got MS... It's not fatal. Or so President Jed Bartlet would have us believe. (And yes I know that "The West Wing" is only a TV show, but I choose to believe it's true because that's better than thinking about who's really in the White House) The fact that he's had it since 1999 and not popped his clogs yet, should be another indictor too.

Night 4 Posted June 15, 2004 As per Richard Pryor having been diagnosed 20+ years ago and still around in spite of everything. Montel doesn't strike me as the suicidal type, either. Bad candidate for the next few years in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 40 Posted June 18, 2004 I know he isn't prime candidate material, but I have found another news article on him. http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/06/16/medical.marijuana.ap/ It says in the story that you can legally have a smoke in Hawaii. Now, if I was Mr. Williams, with his wealth (presumed), I could do a lot worse than sit on a Hawaiian beach (or Californian for that matter) and have a medicinal smoke. I might perhaps have a drink or two as well... just to see if that would help also. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted May 22, 2005 any disease which rendered one incapable of speech would make Montel a better talk show host. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA The Montel Williams Show in a nutshell. "Okay. Today we have Toffanee and she is here to find out who the father of her baby is. She was married to Harold but had a relationship with Arturo and Buck while still married to her 3rd husband Warren. Let's bring out Toffanee." The audience greets Toffanee with loud thunderous applause. Or: "With us today is Ray. Ray is here to tell his wife that he has a child from a previous marriage but what he doesn't know is that his wife is having an affair with that child. Let's bring out Ray." The audience issues catcalls and boos. And of course: "Today we are going to meet with Annie and Joseph who are sick and tired of their parents using drugs and drinking. Folks let's meet Annie and Joseph." at this point come out two punk rock style middle aged people who clearly are drugged out themselves. The audience gasps. Montel Williams is a watered down, slightly more serious, more issue oriented version of Jerry Springer. They both use sordid topics and go into matters that nobody of any real self respect would ever air on television. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Xgates Posted June 29, 2005 Sheesh is this all this place is about checking out who's just died or is getting ready to die? Who cares about the dead and dying LIFE is for the living! Looks like a lost bunch here, but that's ok Jesus LOVES you anyways! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus is LIFE! That is a shame. We haven't really had any religious zealots since Eileen stopped posting in the Sister Lucia topic. Anyway, good to know you have a life, and don't just spend your time 'crusing' the net like the rest of us 'lost bunch'. Oh, and nearly forgot. Sheesh is this all this place is about checking out who's just died or is getting ready to die? Got it in one. Well done.

Gooseberry Crumble 5,201 Posted June 2, 2018 https://theblast.com/montel-williams-rushed-hospital-gym-workout/ Rushed to hospital after an incident whilst having a workout .May not be too serious in itself but all the same worth flagging up I think .
