I just want to offer a big birthday shout out to a phenomenal woman, our Oprah Winfrey. She's a shining example of humanitarianism, re-invention, savvy and survival. She's among this nation's business elite as a self-made billionaress and seems to never get comfortable with her current level of success. In fact, she's helped us to redefine success and encouraged us to live amazing, honorable lives. I could go on, but I won't. Weekdays at 4pm are just not the same without her daytime talk show. I get home early or may be home on a holiday and look forward to the four o'clock hour and realize there really ain't nothing on worth my time. Can't believe there's still a programming void 3 years later. But happy birthday to our sister girl who has done something with her 60 years on this earth.
He's back and missed so much. I love the re-mix of the Arsenio Hall Show. He's current, topical, a great interviewer and brings the love to late nite. It's been a wash of white males since he left the scene twenty years ago except for George Lopez and no woman of any color has been able to make a dent in the elite boys club, but I hope his success brings more diversity back to late night tv as America's demographics in major and small markets continue to shift. The days when he was the only show that would invite rappers and R&B artists to have a platform that wasn't offered on major network shows are over as these artists are mainstream today, but there's still a large void that needs to be filled and I hope we keep him tuned in so he can continue to push the envelope and represent.
I discovered this artist on "Black Girls Rock" and I thank them for giving this fresh voice some spotlight. I won't write another word and let you hit play and listen for yourselves.
