gao, I always love to hear Alan Keyes. But he may be to much. I don't know any of the cowardly dems who would go up against him in person. So he will have a very difficult time getting someone to give the standard dem view, stupidity. I do hope he is successful. tom watson tosiwmee

Keyes show to feature 'smart, real people' WND columnist debuts MSNBC cable program today By Jon Dougherty © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com Alan Keyes' new nighttime talk show on MSNBC – which debuts today – is bound to be different because, well, because it features Alan Keyes. "By its very nature, it's not going to be what all the other nighttime talk shows are," Phil Griffin, vice president of programming at MSNBC and the executive in charge of the show told WorldNetDaily. "They've all become conventional, but we're going to be unconventional. They've all put on the same usual suspects, but we're going to put on smart, real people. And then there's going to be Alan Keyes," Griffin said. Keyes, who was U.S. ambassador to the U.N. during the Reagan administration and a 2000 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, will host the one-hour program Monday through Thursday, Griffin said. The format is largely set, but the show – which airs at 10 p.m. Eastern – will feature a plethora of interactivity, including online chat rooms, live callers to the show and eventually a studio audience. What it won't be, Griffin said, is stoic and typical. "We have the flexibility to do everything" in terms of topics, he said. "I think that when you watch a lot of other programs, you see a lot of the same faces and same issues on every show. Alan believes you don't need experts to get real information." Keyes believes that "reasoning and trying to find common ground from what's around us in our everyday lives will help us figure out solutions to our problems," Griffin said. "We want it to be smart, intelligent. We want it to be the 'Jeopardy' of nighttime talk." The show will open with Keyes introducing a topic and "setting up a discussion," said Griffin. Whatever the issue is, "he'll then draw on a guest – a student of the topic – to get the facts" and draw the audience in. Then, "we'll feature 'The No-Pundit Zone' – real people sort of peppering Alan and Alan peppering them with questions about how they've had to deal with the topic in their lives." Over the course of the program, Keyes will eventually draw the issue together and make conclusions. The television, Internet and eventually the studio audience, will be involved during the entire program. Without getting too specific, Griffin said the first show will be about "justice in America." "It'll involve a lot about what's going on right now in our search to get the al-Qaida," Griffin said. "We've done a couple of rehearsal shows, and I could not be happier," he said. "The guy's got the magic." Griffin said Keyes would examine topics in depth and with thoughtfulness. "I'm not sure that's always done" on most other programs, he said. "We're not going to skim the surface." worldnetdaily.com * * *
