NEW YORK — Syndicated talk show host Montel Williams is being replaced by a younger version of himself. CBS Television Distribution announced Wednesday that "The Montel Williams Show" will cease production after this television season, his 17th on the air.

Instead, stations that carried his show will be offered a series of Williams reruns. "Best of Montel" will be 52 weeks worth of "some of the most exciting episodes" from the show's history, the producers said.

"I can't say thank you enough to those who've welcomed me into their homes for the past 17 years," Williams said. "It has been both an honor and a joy."

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

How stupid are some of the executives at these television stations. They get a show on that's a hit, that a lot of people love and enjoy seeing, and you morons go and cancel it or replace them. Shame on you. I just heard today that the Montel show was ending. It really saddened me. I thought maybe it was because of Montel's illness and new marriage and maybe he wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace and harmony and away from the limelight. I had no idea it was because they (management) wanted to replace him with someone younger. What stupidity!!! You types do this all the time. What a way to lose dedicated viewers.
