About Harvey's guest:
Today’s special guest, Montel Williams, is a man I’ve admired and respected immensely, since he first began coming into our living rooms in 1991, with his Emmy-award-winning daytime talk show, which educated, enlightened and inspired us for over 17 years.
The list of accomplishments this man has achieved is nothing short of monumental. He served 22 years in the United States Marine Corps and the US Navy as a Special Duty Intelligence Officer, and received a whole slew of awards, medals and commendations culminating in 2008 with the Navy Superior Public Service Award for his continuous support and recognition of our servicemen and women and their families.
He was the first African American man to host a syndicated daytime talk show, the Montel Williams Show. And since the show ended in 2009, his career has blossomed and diversified even further.
As an actor, he’s appeared in many iconic shows including “Perry Mason: The Case of the Telltale Talk Show Host”, “Matt Waters”, “Touched By an Angel”, “JAG”, “The Sopranos”, “My Name is Earl” and “Guiding Light”, which earned him an NAACP Image Award nomination. He also has 2 shows on the Lifetime channel: “Military Makeover”, which transforms the homes and lives of military families across the country; and he’s a co-host of the popular morning talk show, “The Balancing Act”.
He’s written 9 bestselling books: “Mountain Get Out of My Way: Life Lessons and Learned Truths”, “Life Lessons and Reflections”, “Practical Parenting”, “A Dozen Ways to Sunday: Stories of Hope and Courage”, “Body Change”, “Climbing Higher”, “Living Well: 21 Days to Transform Your Life, Supercharge Your Health, and Feel Spectacular”, “Living Well Emotionally: Breakthrough to a Life of Happiness”, and most recently, “The Sailing of the Intrepid: The Incredible Wartime Voyage of the Navy’s Iconic Aircraft Carrier”.
Since being diagnosed with MS in 1999, our guest has been a passionate advocate for patients worldwide. He works diligently in support of research and education for MS and traumatic brain injury. He’s an outspoken supporter of “Partnership for Prescription Assistance”, which helps low-income patients get free or low-price prescription drugs.
He’s a leading advocate for medical cannabis law reform in America, and he hosts a popular podcast called “Let’s Be Blunt with Montel”, which provides education and information on the cannabis industry. He also has another podcast called “Free Thinking with Montel”, which covers a wide range of topics from wellness to veterans’ issues. His commitment to social justice is exemplary.
He’s executive produced compelling documentaries about pressing social issues like antisemitism, racial profiling, mental health, and the Armenian genocide and persecution of Christians in the middle east. His record of public service is both voluminous and transformative. Over the years he’s been actively involved in charities promoting diversity, the welfare of children, animal rights and the well-being of our military and veterans. He’s worked with the Fisher House Foundation, the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases, the Research and Recognition Project, and Athletes 4 Care.
