Matt Returns to Montel Aired on December 26, 2003
As you have probably read on our web site, Matt and I appeared on The Montel Williams Show last May. Well, we (and the folks at Montel) had such a great time that they invited us back to appear on a show about inspiring people. There were all sorts of terrific people who appeared on the show. It was a lot of fun. But, as usual, it was not the being on television that Matt most enjoyed. It was hanging out with his friends Montel and Robin (the producer at Montel), going out eat at The Carnegie Deli and The Brooklyn Diner, seeing Times Square all lit up, and seeing the beginnings of the holiday lights go up around Manhattan.
The Montel Show itself was easy-going, as usual, with Montel at the
helm. When Matt started to tire out a bit, late in the show (when he was off
camera), Montel called out to him during a commercial break. Matt, in his
inimitable fashion, skipped up to Montel, sat beside him, and started chatting
(oblivious to the cameras and the audience). Given that the commercial break was
about to end, Montel waved off the directors, asked Matt if he could read the
teleprompter off to their right. Matt read the words perfectly, so Montel told
Matt to read the teleprompter out loud when the camera man pointed to him. So,
the show came back from commercial break to Matt reading the intro to the next
segment. It was great! Montel made a comment that Matt could do that well too
(just like everything else). Then, Montel had Matt play one more tune on the
piano for the audience.
