Remote Control: Did Fox submarine 'Montel' after comments?

Full story: South Bend Tribune

“Those guys are over there dying and we're going to sit here and speculate about a young man who's somebody's child, who's somebody's father, who hasn't even been buried yet and I think it's gone way too far”

Syndicated talk show host Montel Williams has been shown the door after 17 years on television. via South Bend Tribune

i can't imagine executives cutting off their noses because of something montel said. i just assumed montel was "done". i have a similar story to montel's. we both have the same form of ms and i left television 10 years ago because of it(i was "up and ocming".) although montel is a warrior who said he would never stop doing what he is doing... i just thought maybe the stress and hard work got the best of him. he doesn't tell the world just how hard it is to be him. i love montel like a family member and hope to god he is alright. everytime i see him get upset and cry on the show, i worry about his stress level. selfishly, i need him back in the spotlite. he is the only reason i have accepted my illness and i too say "i have ms but it doesn't have me." montel is my daily fix of all that i believe in. he stresses out for all of mankind and puts his health on the line for all of us no matter what the cause he brings it to the forefront. i love montel and wish him a beautiful life with his new wife and his grown children. i wouldn't dare vote him into presidency (it's just not worth it) but i would ask the catholic church to canonize him as Saint Montel.(seriously!)
love, christine scolaro

PS: if anyone is in contact with montel... please ask him to email me. he is sortof an unofficial mentor to me. I started in the media when i was just in college after meeting spencer christian, then abc tv anchor. we met on the street, struck up a silly conversaion that ended in and internship for me at ch 7. spencer told me i had big "balls" and eventually i reported for fox 5 and a few other networks. i also did many top new york radio stations and as a side note, was chosen by matt lauer in a beauty pageant as miss brooklyn. this was yearrrrrrs ago. now i am old and have ms! because of montel, i debate going back into television. he inspires me to want to make a change. i wonder if he would be willing to give me advice whether or not it is worth the struggle and if he thinks i have something to offer. he is the only person i trust in the industry. i'm hoping he can help with this second chance. thank you.:)

ok i just saw the video of montel's comments regarding heath leger vs. us troops.
hey, i am will montel. the three dopey hosts on fox just didn't know how to go with it. the woman at least tried. i comment montel for just "being himself". i think montel needs a reality show or a spot on sirius satellite like howard stern. it's freaky that we are still living in a society with our heads in the sad. as a person with ms... i say go for it montel. let the ms take your mouth to places where people able to control thier etiquette won't go. ms makes you real. ms let's you be free with thought and verse. i think the video is great. i hate it if the execs were threatened by that. bunch of sissies. i feel like life is just one big Xfile show. nothing seems right to me since "growing up". i no longer trust the church, the government which includes the public school system, FDA, EPA andthingelseA... or the medical field. montel had this doctor on Dr. Dr. Krupp... if i told you how she has made my life miserable the past couple of months... he wouldn't believe it. she was nice on tv... never smiled with me and didn't treat me with dignity. funny how everyone is an actor!(except montel, of course.) i gotta get my little ones... i gotta get a life. bye.

You're much more positive than you were yesterday, which is a relief for both you and me! At least this will help you to take action, instead of sitting around feeling helpless or panicky. Right now you're interested in philosophical, spiritual and religious topics, and hope that they'll help you get more meaning out of life and they'll reveal why you're experiencing your current problems.
