BrandTalkk with guest Bill Boggs (Ep.14)

John Tantillo talks with his friend Bill Boggs this week on BrandTalkk, another way to talk.

Bill Boggs is an Emmy Award-winning TV talk show host and producer, author and professional speaker. His Off-Broadway play, Talk Show Confidential, and novel, At First Sight, were optioned together for a screenplay inspired by his life.

He began his career as a comedy writer, and his satirical novel, "The Adventures of Spike the Wonder Dog ...As Told to Bill Boggs,” reflects his strong observational comedy "chops." He has written essays for The New York Times Sunday Magazine and travel articles also for The Times, and a well-received self-help book, "Got What it Takes?" for Harper/Collins.

A true industry insider, Bill has interviewed many of the most notable personalities of our time—cultural icons, music legends, presidents, writers, athletes, celebrity chefs—and a movie star or two.

His TV credits include the long-running “Midday Live” on Fox, and programs on Showtime, The Travel Channel, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and ESPN. Bill spent a decade hosting and producing "Bill Boggs Corner Table" on Food Network. He has displayed unique versatility—as a game show host for CBS, a news anchor for WNBC-TV, and as host and co-executive producer of the syndicated series, "Comedy Tonight." Bill was also the executive producer for the ground-breaking Morton Downey Jr. Show.

BILLBOGGSTV on YouTube features hundreds of Bill's notable interviews from different shows over the years. He is an officer of the Friars Club in New York, a graduate of The University of Pennsylvania, with a B.A. and M.A. He is an inductee into the Northeast Philadelphia Hall of Fame. In 2000, he was selected a Father of the Year. He lives in Manhattan, East Hampton, and Palm Beach with long-suffering girlfriend, “Lady Jane.”
