From actors to athletes, divas to comedians, poets to politicians, these are the African American figures who’ve helped shape the face of our nation.

And throughout the month of February, BlogTalkRadio is honoring them with encore presentations of their most compelling interviews.aat_t2

Welcome to 28 Days of Black History Makers, presented by AT&T.

The series got under way Feb. 1 with BET host Mo’Nique, who won an Oscar for her role in 2009′s Precious.

During the funnylady’s interview, she reflected on her most memorable complement surrounding that Oprah Winfrey- and Tyler Perry-produced film.

“The night of the permiere of Precious, I saw Sidney Poitier from my car,” she told The Breakdown Show hosts Audley Stephenson and Dave Mendonca.

“He was already on the red carpet. And I said to my husband, ‘Oh my God. There’s Sydney Poitier! I would love to meet him.’

“So now the movie’s over, everyone’s leaving… I’m almost the last person to leave the theater. And I turn around and my husband says, ‘Look who’s behind you.’ It was Sydney Poitier,” Mo’Nique continued. “And he says to me, ‘Young lady, I did not see one insecure moment in your performance.’ That was priceless coming from him.”

Mo'Nique: Oscar champ kicked of Black History Month series.

To date, the series has also featured interviews with Spike Lee, Chilli, Evander Holyfield, Della Reese, Meadowlark Lemon and Stedman Graham.

‘Night Views Radio’ Host Robert Saul: Depression Never Sounded So Funny

2 Replies

If ever there were a BlogTalkRadio show on which anything goes, Night Views is it. Like what, you ask? Like an interview with Donna Simpson, the 42-year-old mom who spends $750 a week on food and wears (no joke) size XXXXXXXL dresses—during which she said, “I’d like to be fatter.” Or how about Jim Florentine? Soon after dropping in to chat, the funnyman set the record straight on his breakup with Howard Stern’s sidekick Robin Quivers. “We’re two adults,” he said. “We’re not in high school going, ‘I’m never talking to you again!’ ‘Well, f— you. I’m not either!’” Better yet, Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett. Among the projects he showed up to plug was the Disney feature Tangled, in which he plays Hook Hand Thug opposite Mandy Moore’s Rapunzel. The only problem was, he described the flick as being about “this hot chick that lives in a castle, but oddly enough it’s her pubic hair that she lets out the window.” So it’s no wonder we’re psyched to have as this week’s SoundBits subject, the puppet-master behind such interviews, Robert Saul. The self-described stay-at-home dad, who makes his home in Mays Landing, N.J., joins us live in three, two…

soundbits-wordpress14Give us a 15-second pitch for your show—why should listeners tune in?

Whoever you are—young or old, rich or poor, Red State or Blue State, tattooed or regular—you’ll get a kick out of Night Views. We’re never shy about expressing our views on every topic under the sun, while allowing our listeners to do the same. Plus, we really get into it with actors, musicians, comedians and other newsmakers. Being fun first and foremost is key for us.

Everybody Loves Robert (right), particularly his Patricia Heaton-like wife, Patricia Saul (left).

Tell us two things listeners would be surprised to learn about you.

(1) I used to suffer from severe depression. I was actually in the hospital along with my future mother-in-law, being treated for the condition. That’s how I met my wife; when she came to visit her mother. (2) Before launching Night Views, my co-host, Travis Wettstein (who’s also my cousin) and I had been talking about doing a radio show together as far back as the sixth grade.

Nicki Minaj to ‘Pink Friday Radio’ Hosts: ‘You guys are freakin’ hilarious and insane!’

Christmas came a little late to Nicki’s Latin Barb—four days late, to be precise—but when it finally arrived, it was no doubt the best one ever.

That’s because Nicki Minaj herself called in to congratulate the host of Pink Friday Radio, and her co-host, Luscious Barb, on doing a bang-up job on the fan front.

CAPTION: Nicki: The secret's out—this hip-hop queen's a huge fan of her BlogTalkRadio fan show.

Nicki: The secret's out—this diva's a big fan of her BlogTalkRadio fan show.

It all started Wednesday night, as Latin Barb and Luscious Barb (so named as Team Minaj fans, who are known as Barbies), kicked off their 90-minute special during which fellow Nicki fans were asked to call in with their Top 3 Most Memorable Nicki Minaj Moments of 2010.

Then, with on only seven minutes left in the show, the red-hot hip-hop star dialed in and said, “Hey, you guys. Wassup, y’all?”

To which an astonished Latin Barb replied, “Oh my God! What a surprise! I’m gonna cry.”

Moments later, Nicki asked our hosts’ names and ages. “I’m 17,” said Latin Barb.” “And I’m 19,” said Continue reading →

Bill Cosby on Michael Vick’s Super Bowl Bid, Teena Marie’s Final BTR Interiew, and Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch’s Holiday Movie Picks

bill-cosby7Bill Cosby: During the iconic comic’s holiday address to the BlogTalkRadio family, he touches on a possible Super Bowl bid for convicted dogfighter Michael Vick—whose team, the Philly Eagles, President Obama praised this week for giving him a second chance. “For Michael to be able to go through it all, pay his debt to society, and now realize what he wants to do and how to get it, then that’s enough of a comeback for me,” Dr. Cosby tells Film Festival Radio host Janice Malone. “If he never plays in a Super Bowl, he still winds up way ahead of the old Michael Vick. So his Super Bowl was when he broke out of that cocoon and wound up as a beautiful black butterfly, as opposed to a moth flying around over the highways trying to attack cars.”

teena-marie1Teena Marie: 1956-2010. The Ivory Queen of Soul—who made history as Motown’s first white act—passed away Sunday in Los Angeles at age 54. Two years ago, in her final BlogTalkRadio interview, she shared the secret of her success with host Sai Browne. “I believe it’s my faith in God. How much I love God. How much he loves me,” Prince‘s one-time ladylove said. “Music is a gift, and I don’t abuse it. When the inspiration for music comes to me, it comes directly from God. God likes music!”

ed-koch2Ed Koch: The former New York City mayor, who turned 86 this month, drops in on World Talk Live to chat with host Brett Cohen about his weekly online “Mayor at the Movies” series, in which he recently panned the Angelina Jolie-Johnny Depp vehicle The Tourist, while hailing Colin Firth‘s performance in The King’s Speech as “superb.”
