NJTV Tackles OCTOBER 2016 NJTV Tackles Poverty, Inequality & Opportunity in America NJTV is joining with its sister stations THIRTEEN and WLIW21 to explore the causes and solutions for poverty across the U.S. in WNET’s multi-platform, multi-station initiative, Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America. NJTV takes a closer look at the issues facing Atlantic City, an iconic seaside resort, home to a legendary boardwalk, and a metropolis hanging precariously in the midst of an economic crisis. Voices from Atlantic City (Wednesday, October 19 at 8pm) tells the stories of the rise and fall of the once-thriving gambling and entertainment mecca through first person accounts of card dealers, cocktail waitresses, construction workers and other who have lost their jobs, or are hanging on to them by a thread, yet still have hope for the troubled city. As America prepares to elect a new president, Dream On (Thursday, October 20 at 8pm) takes an unflinching look at the perilous state of the American Dream after decades of rising income inequality and stagnating economic mobility. Political comedian John Fugelsang hits the road (in a cobalt blue Ford) to retrace the journey of French aristocrat, political scientist and historian Alexis de Tocqueville, who travelled across the United States in 1831. Tocqueville’s nine month journey covered 7,000 miles, and resulted in the publication of Democracy in America, which came to define America as a place where anyone, of any background, could climb the ladder of economic opportunity. WNET and journalist Tavis Smiley will tackle the hot button issue of minimum wage in Getting On (Saturday, October 22 at 7pm), reporting on what this really means for workers trying to make a livable wage and for business owners trying Learn more at pbs.org/wnet/chasing-the-dream Preview videos and more at njtvonline.org ALAN BARKER; TS MEDIA INC./VAN EVERS to make payroll, weaving real-life stories with observations by economic experts. ATLANTIC CITY NIGHTS: KRISTIN CHENOWETH Atlantic City Nights spotlights top performers both past and present in the Jersey Shore’s entertainment capital, Atlantic City. Tony and Emmy Award-winning singer, dancer and actress Kristin Chenoweth talks with host Joyce Kulhawik about her start on the Broadway stage, how she turned her diminutive size (4’11”) and high voice into valuable assets, and describes her first trip to Atlantic City with her adoptive parents, just as she was about to perform in Steel Pier, her Broadway musical debut. Kristin also shares how she landed one of her first major musical roles —­­ auditioning on a whim while accompanying her friend to PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12 AT 8PM a tryout — which changed the trajectory of her career.

Both of them. (Laughter) KELVIN Yeah, you know we talk about it sometimes, right? I mean, I think at this point some people are like, “Stop! Don't fast forward.” Because some people think, you know, what somebody, said “Well, yeah, you guys were in this tangent about coffee,” and somebody else said, “Oh yeah, I skip past the coffee ‘til I realized it actually had something to do with the show.” TOM I've heard both, anecdotally.

  • Print Profile
    Some would say that an exclusive interview with the President of the United States, during one of the most controversial scandals to ever hit the White House, Tavis Smiley is the interview of a lifetime. Others would say interviewing Fidel Castro in the wake of unprecedented U.S. sanctions relief, or the conversation with Pope John Paul II was the most significant. Speech Topics Time selected Smiley as one of America's 50 most promising young leaders. Newsweek profiled him as one of the 20 people changing how Americans get their news and dubbed him one of the nation's captains of the airwaves. Youth With his late-night television talk show, Tavis Smiley on PBS, and his earlier radio Teambuilding show The Tavis Smiley Show from NPR, Smiley was the first American ever to Politics & Current Events simultaneously host signature talk shows on both PBS and NPR. Smiley's television Motivation show continues now in its second season, and Smiley just announced the return of Leadership The Tavis Smiley Show to public radio in association with Public Radio International, PRI, coming April 29th. Diversity Smiley, who started his career as an aide to the late Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley, also offers political commentary twice weekly on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. In addition, he has authored eight books and has his own imprint (Smiley Books) with Hay House. Texas Southern University recently honored Smiley with the opening of The Tavis Smiley School of Communications and The Tavis Smiley Center for Professional Media Studies, making him the youngest African American to ever have a professional school and center named after him on a college or university campus.
