The Sharpton Machine Continues Television Pit Stop
After a disappointing run for president, a disappointing stint hosting a reality show, and potentially disappointing shot at the mayoral crapfest, what's a guy like Reverend Al Sharpton to do?
"I m going on TV One," he said during an interview in the small midtown cubicle he s occupying while his Harlem headquarters is renovated.
No, not New York 1: TV One is a black-themed cable network distributed mostly by Comcast. It has a strong presence in the South and Midwest, but very little distribution in New York.
The general idea of the show, which starts taping next week and goes on air in July, is "Al Sharpton talks," he said. "It ll be me interviewing newsmakers whoever I want."
Rest assured, Sharpton won't be interviewing people so much as — in the fine Brawley tradition — enthusiastically nodding in agreement, but that's the fun of it.
