TOM (Laughter) Well, you’re ruining the surprise for any new listeners that we have. KELVIN Oh, you think people will be surprised that we have coffee? TOM Yeah. None of our regular listeners. 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. So, for those who hate the banter, sorry, I'm going to banter for just a bit. But some people like the coffee bit, and we don't do it too long. KELVIN I hope not.

    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.
