Is Montel Williams leaving his talk show for health reasons?!


Question: I just read that Montel Williams is calling it quits in regard to his daily talk show, but the article made no mention of his reason(s). I know that at Williams made public a while back that the unrelenting, severe pain of his MS had once brought him to the brink of trying to commit suicide. In his recent shows he at least APPEARS to be managing his pain pretty well, but he was also hiding his distress from the public well during that very dark time he's described, so who knows? Has anyone heard or read news about his current medical status?

This was going to be his last season until He was fired. And this is why:

Shortly before Fox-owned and operated television stations in major markets terminated Montel's talk-show contract, Montel appeared in an interview on Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, and was asked to discuss Heath Ledger's death. He used the interview to point out that TV networks had continued to extensively cover Mr. Ledger's death while ignoring the deaths of 28 US soldiers in Iraq since the beginning of the year. Montel expressed sympathy for Mr. Ledger's family and remorse for his passing but also encouraged the three interviewers to recognize the absence of coverage for the US soldiers killed in Iraq.

The interviewers pointed out that they covered the death of soldiers as well but that their audience also wanted celebrity news. Montel suggested that US news networks had the capacity to lead the country's attitudes by placing just as much importance on US deaths in Iraq as on the deaths of celebrities. Montel noted that he had awoken that morning very saddened by the unknown names of those slain in Iraq and was further saddened when he could not find their names on the web.

Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial. Montel did not return after the break.

Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job.
