     Radio personality, syndicated columnist, best-selling author, and now syndicated TV talk show host Larry Elder brings his refreshing candid style to daytime television this fall with "The Larry Elder Show."

     Elder has been a top-rated, driving force on Los Angeles talk radio for more than a decade, and his daily program has been nationally syndicated since 2002 on ABC Radio Networks. Inspiring legions of fans, dubbed "Elderados," Larry Elder's insight on topical, provocative issues has already earned him a Los Angeles area Emmy Award.

     Larry Elder is a self-made man. Emphasizing "personal responsibility" as the key to success, he embodies his own philosophy. Born to a loving family and raised in the South Central section of Los Angeles, a neighborhood where opportunities may seem scarce, Elder embraced his own future -- and its myriad possibilities -- attending Brown University, where he received a BA in Political Science. He went on to earn his law degree at the University of Michigan, working as an attorney in Cleveland, Ohio and eventually starting his own legal recruitment firm, Laurence A. Elder and Associates. At the same time, he hosted an issue-oriented television show in Cleveland, first on PBS, then on the local Fox affiliate. Later, as a reporter on PBS' "National Desk," Elder won a 1998 AEGIS Award of Excellence, a 1998 Telly Award and a 1999 Emerald City Gold Award of Excellence. He went on to author two best-selling books, The 10 Things You Can't Say in America (2000) and Showdown: Confronting Bias, Lies and the Special Interests that Divide America (2002). He also hosted the television show "Moral Court," distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, which is currently in its fourth rerun cycle on WCIU-TV (Chicago).

   In addition to "The Larry Elder Show," Elder currently writes a national newspaper column for Creators Syndicate and continues his daily radio show. For more information on the radio show, visit www.larryelder.com.

     An insightful figure with an inspirational message, Larry Elder has been profiled on "60 Minutes" and "20/20," and has logged appearances on news/talk shows including "Oprah," "Larry King Live," "The Tonight Show" and "The Today Show." The no-nonsense host has also portrayed himself on sitcoms such as "Spin City" and "The Hughleys," and appeared in the TV dramas "American Dreams" and "Soul Food.

     In line with his philosophy of taking personal responsibility for one's own life, Larry Elder recently established the Larry Elder Charities, a non-profit organization that will contribute to groups and individuals offering non-government, self-help solutions to problems of poverty, crime, poor parenting, dependency and education.

     Larry Elder's message is clear: personal responsibility yields results - and with "The Larry Elder Show," a new crop of "Elderados" will be inspired to set personal goals and enhance the quality of their lives.
