Tavis Smiley Joins the WNET Family

Weeknights at 12 midnight

thirteen.org/tavis

FEbruary 2011

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/tavissmiley/

SiNcE ThE dEbuT of his national, nightly talk show in 2004, Tavis Smiley has engaged

and enlightened audiences with programs featuring guests ranging from Sidney Poitier

and Carol Burnett to Bill Moyers and President Barack Obama. And now, in 2011, as he

embarks on his 20th anniversary in broadcasting, he will continue his award-winning

program through a new co-production partnership with WNET.ORG.

THIRTEEN spoke with Smiley to celebrate this exciting new partnership.

Q: In 2009, Time magazine

named you one of “The

World’s 100 Most Influential

People.” If you could use

your influence to resolve

one issue in the world, what

would it be?

a: In a word, poverty. The

gap between the “have

gots” and the “have nots”

continues to grow in this

country. I shudder to think

of what will ultimately

happen if we continue to

ignore the plight of the

poor and the weak work-

ing class here in America.

Read the complete

interview at

thirteen.org/tavis

Q: Given the challenges

facing public television

today, why does public

television still matter?

a: Put simply, there are

certain questions that

don’t get asked if we

don’t ask them; certain is-

sues that don’t get raised

if we don’t raise them; and

certain persons who will

not get profiled if we don’t

profile them. I believe pub-

lic television is at its best

when we challenge folk

to reexamine the assump-

tions they hold, help them

to expand their inventory

of ideas, and introduce

Americans to each other.

Q: What are your favorite

places to visit in New York?

a: Wow, there are so many!

I always try to check in on

my friend Wynton Marsalis

at Jazz @ Lincoln Center. If

something’s jumping off at

Dizzy’s or The Blue Note, I

start begging for tickets.

New York is such a great

sports town, so I always

check who has a home

game before I arrive to see

if I can sneak in a game or

two. And, of course, there’s

always a Broadway show to

see. But most importantly,

I schedule nightly, intimate

dinner parties with friends

all over the city at my fa-

vorite restaurants.
