“Viewers
Come Face to Face with Past Guests”
As
a show that tackles relevant and edgy topics, “The
Larry Elder Show” has featured its share
of controversial guests. When the following guests
first appeared on the show, scores of emails and
calls came in from viewers looking to confront
them about their views and situations. Today’s
show gave them the forum to do just that. Learn
more below:

Julie-Ann, Donna, Will, Charlie & Paula |

When Will and Donna appeared on the “Grow
Up and Get Out” episode, many viewers were
taken aback by Will’s apparent apathy and
reluctance to leave the nest. Since they first
came to the show, things haven’t changed
much. Though Will is starting to look for a job,
his mother Donna says he doesn’t look like
he’ll be moving out any time soon. Will’s
brother Charlie and his wife Paula have taken Will
in several times and are fed up with his immaturity.
They say that Donna is enabling him and she should
stop blaming herself for Will’s issues.
Viewer Julie-Ann says she was compelled to write
when she saw Will on the show. She believes that
Will is making excuses and has to start taking
life seriously. As someone who has overcome much
adversity in his life, former guest Ryan agrees
with Julie and implored Will to make a commitment
to improvement. To give Will an incentive, Ryan
offered to mentor Will every day until his life
is on the right track.

During his first show appearance,
Jesse Lee Peterson caused quite a stir with viewers
by saying that he would never hire someone with a “black”-sounding
name. Viewer Mystique was outraged and says she can’t
believe such a well-educated man can spout such ignorant
views. As a white woman with a supposed “black
name,” Mystique feels that it’s completely
asinine to judge people by their names and not their
abilities when it comes to the workplace. Maurice
also disagrees with Jesse, saying that people like
him hold back African-Americans as a whole. Video

Brandy Stokes first appeared on “Is
it Discrimination or Not?” Her story of discrimination
in the South Carolina education system touched
a nerve with many viewers, including Cesalie and
Rochell. Rochell feels that Brandy should’ve
researched the school environment better before
accepting the job, while Cesalie says that black
students have good reason to distrust white teachers.
Viewer Karen disagrees with Rochell and Cesalie
and says that, like Brandi, she experienced a similar
situation in the same school district.
