Hi there, Montel Williams here for Oxy Clean!

Montel Williams doing infomercials…

Monday early morning, I kept the TV on as I wrote my paper and noticed Montel Williams on TV.  This is what I saw…

Montel, what are you doing?

Remember when Montel Williams had one of the hottest talk shows in syndication?  While I was never a huge fan of his old Montel Williams Show, his show was different than the trash TV that was on during the time period.  It was more of a positive show that tried helping the guests on the show than making fun of them like the other daytime talk shows did. 

His new “show” is called Living Well with Montel.  What is sneaky about this format is that the infomercials are disguised as talk shows.  Plus, you can tell he’s really not that into it. 

Now, he’s a poor man’s Billy Mays.  He basically is using a similar model as Billy Mays too, except he doesn’t shout at the screen. 

So, how did he get from being a talk show host to an infomercial host?   The Fox Company (?)

From his Wiki page ((On January 30, 2008, Variety reported that CBS TV Distribution terminated The Montel Williams Show when key Fox-owned stations chose not to renew it for the 2008-09 season.[5] It has been alleged that this resulted in part from an appearance on the show Fox & Friends in which Williams criticized the media's lack of coverage on the Iraq War, and took the hosts to task for their excessive coverage (along with the media in general) of the death of actor Heath Ledger, contrasted with the sparse coverage of U.S. soldiers dying in Iraq[citation needed]. Some have noted that one of the segment's hosts told viewers that Williams would return for further conversation after a commercial break, but that Williams was no longer on the set when the commercials ended. On May 16, 2008 the last episode of The Montel Williams Show aired ))

Isn't it strange that the show he made his Iraq statement on was Fox and Friends and then all the Fox channels dropped his show? Hmm.

I wonder what a younger Montel would say if he saw his future self peddling useless shit in the late hours of TV?
