Newsmax TV presents a fascinating look at sitcom king Norman Lear, as Armstrong Williams explores the life and times of the man who revolutionized the American television with such groundbreaking shows as "All in the Family," "Sanford and Son," "One Day at a Time," "The Jeffersons" and "Maude."
"The Right Side with Armstrong Williams: King Lear" airs Sunday, April 3, at 4:30 p.m./ET, only on
Newsmax TV, America's No. 1 choice for breaking news, hard-hitting opinion and the best election coverage anywhere.
Watch as Armstrong and Lear sit down for an intimate chat about the TV icon's topsy-turvy rags to riches life, from his humble beginnings to his unprecedented success, to losing it all and bouncing back again.
Lear's bold views of how permissive a television sitcom could be shocked as well as enthralled America, as his "All in the Family" explored taboo topics such as racism, homosexuality, rape, abortion and impotence.
Aside from being a prolific writer and producer, Lear was also a leading Hollywood liberal, founding the advocacy group People for the American Way, which fights for First Amendment rights and progressive causes.
And Williams, a media baron himself as well as being the business manager to Dr. Ben Carson, is not afraid to ask the penetrating questions other interviewers never have. It's a rollicking hour of explosive back and forth you won't want to miss.
