SECAUCUS, NJ- January 7, 2002- Former Presidential Candidate and Reagan-era U.S. Ambassador at the United Nations, Alan Keyes has joined MSNBC as host of a new one-hour commentary show, “Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,” weeknights at 10PM, ET. Erik Sorenson, president and general manager, MSNBC, made the announcement today.
“We're excited that Alan is bringing his highly-regarded grasp of global issues and his larger-than-life personality to MSNBC," said Sorenson. "This network has distinguished itself as the cable news channel for smart young viewers interested in knowing about their world. Alan's deep knowledge, incredible capacity to frame debate, and provocative views will be a great addition to an already-terrific primetime lineup.”
“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” is a live one-hour talk show providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the issues of the day from politics, economics to the various cultural hot buttons. The program will originate from Washington, D.C.

He served during the Reagan Administration in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before being appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1983. He was the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985-87.
Alan Keyes is also a two-time Republican presidential candidate and two-time Republican Senate nominee from the state of Maryland. His greatest public exposure came most recently through his dynamic and much extolled performances in the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates.
For the past 10 years, Keyes has reached a nationwide audience each day through his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Alan Keyes Show: America’s Wake-Up Call.” He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America’s Moral Destiny, with a third to be released soon. Keyes and his wife of 19 years, Jocelyn, reside in Maryland with their three children: Francis, Maya and Andrew.

WHEW! This has taken quite a bit of time tonight! LOL
You're quite welcome, my friend.
I happen to believe that Alan's show is going to be a smasheroo hit!
Greta von who???????
It was purely a coincidence. I pointed out that fact to everyone concerned just last Friday! But you do get kudos for your observation!
Those who watched Dr. Keyes' Wake Up America show know he has the power to hold your attention for three hours every day. One just need to get used to him, to his voice, his presentation, and for some to his dark skin. I tell you - a couple shows and everybody will see not a Black or White man but one of the greatest intellects this country ever had - would do honors to any race.
I hope Dr. Keyes had a great Christmas vacation - he always comes from them reenergized!
So hold on to your seats - you ain't seen nothing yet!
Hey, CAL - Alan's first day is the SAME DAY as...“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” to Air Weeknights at 10PM, ET Beginning January 21st
"THIRD ANNUAL NATIONAL DAY OF REPUDIATION OF JESSE JACKSON"What about having the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson as one of Alan's FIRST guests?
TO BE HELD ON M.L.K.'S B-DAY (1/21/02)
Dr. Keyes doesn't mind the risk. He wants real people, not the usual talking heads with their agendas. The participants will go through an interview process. You wanna sign up? hehe
I would welcome your review of the first show!
Thank you for the good wishes, oldvike. He will undoubtedly further the conservative cause.
Regards.
Thank you for the support, my friend.
The 11th commandment is NOT in order in a talk show with any pretense of objectivity. The pessimism could be a downer if not handled with care, but the opposite would make for a rather dull show, unless Keyes wanted to be a counterpoint for the pessimists. Ultimately, Keyes will rise and fall based on the depth of his intellectual capital, and skill in creating an interesting dialogue. We shall see.
It is good news, but I think 4 days a week is a mistake. It should be once a week. Keyes will not be able with this format to have shows with real substance over time, with an in depth discussion of the issues, in part because he won't have time to prepare.
