Where Have You Gone, Tavis Smiley?

I’ve always liked Tavis Smiley but it drives me batshit that his show is only half an hour, which sucks cause he always has 2 separate guests on. Which means it’s basically “hi how are ya whodyya think Xmastime’s banging right now? Okay gotta go see ya, NEXT!” But then even worse is when the two guests are beyond comically disparate, I'm like "is he doing this to be funny?" Like "This half hour we'll have US Supreme Court Justice John Roberts followed by Flick, the neighborhood boy who set a Guinness record last week for surviving solely on Flav-or-ice treats. Stay tuned."

A perfect example was this past Monday. From the website:

On Todays’s Show:
DNC Rules Committee member and advisor to Sen. Clinton, Harold Ickes, describes what he sees as a possible course of action for his candidate and when he feels she will make her final decision about the nomination. Emmy-winning actress Betty White explains how she came to love animals as a child.

Whaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?!!? (head exploding) - XMASTIME

I'm just now noticing that when I was in NYC Tavis SMiley was on PBS about 20 times a day, and none here in Richmond. Wtf?
