Happy Talk: Motivational speaker and author Les Brown is going to take his upbeat words of wisdom into the talk-show arena next fall via a new hourlong show to be produced and syndicated by King World. A King World executive says that unlike the “negative portrayals” of peoples’ lives seen on existing daytime talk shows, Brown’s program will “deliver a positive message” while “inspiring, motivating and entertaining” viewers. King World also markets Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, along with “Wheel of Fortune,” “Jeopardy!” and “Inside Edition.”
