our guest tonight is the extraordinary, talented performer, mantan. thanks for coming in. before we begin, i want to thank you for coming on my show for your first television interview. you could have chosen mike wallace, barbara walters, jane pauley, whatnot but you're here. let's jump right into it. your show has sparked a world of controversy, provoked a tone of dialogue. how do you see all of this? money and nothing else? is it inevitable that the game plays you? don't you feel that is a simplistic retort? i admit, that's a very hard thing to do. quickly let's go to the phones before we pay the bills and hear from our proud sponsors, da bomb. 125% pure pleasure malt our first caller is big black from brooklyn. go 'head. and big black from brooklyn, what do you do? what do you do? that's enough. ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to go there. we can all agree to disagree without making threats.
