AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! J. Anthony Brown
He may have earned legions of fans as Maurice on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, but J. Anthony Brown isn’t always alert enough to acknowledge the props. “I get up at 2 a.m. to do the show from L.A. I have to leave the house by 2:30,” the comic tells Rodney Perry Live host Rodney Perry. “And you ain’t just gettin’ up. You have to be funny. It’s not like you’re making doughnuts where you have to be just awake enough to turn on the doughnut machine. You got to be up and listening. I must admit, I fell asleep a couple of times on that show. A lot of times, if you don’t hear me talkin’, I probably am asleep. I got to get my power nap.”

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Dwyane Wade
Leave it to Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade to deflect attention away from himself—and fellow teammates LeBron James and Chris Bosh—when stopping by BlogTalkRadio to promote his latest project. “I’m going to visit a school Friday to talk to our youth and try to get in their ear. We’re also doing a march and youth summit. We get a panel of successful people and sit and talk to the youth about right and about wrong—including right and wrong decisions we made ourse

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Dionne Warwick
The Godmother of Pop, who’s second only to Aretha Franklin as most charted female vocalist of all time, shares the secret of her longevity. “I guess it’s because I’m so true to who I am. And most of the people who’ve been supportive of my 50-year career, I think they appreciate that I’ve never sold out,” Dionne Warwick tells Callywood host Cassandra Calloway. “So when I do have product on the market, I hope it will appeal not only to those who hav

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Bill Cosby
At a virtual town hall promoting his new socially conscious hip-hop album, Bill Cosby Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency, the comic icon tackles some sobering questions from audience members, including this: “What can we do to change the fact that my state spends more on prisons each year than it does on schools?” “There was a prizefighter boxing for the world championship,” Cosby replies. “He won the first seven rounds by swinging hard while bobbing and w

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Chris Rock
Before he earned the “super” before his “star” title, Chris Rock was busy hawking Nikes in the form of NBA great Penny Hardaway’s alter-ego, Lil Penny. Twelve years after those TV ads left the air, the funnyman sat down with The Bottom Line Sports Show host Gerald Brown to chat about their enormous—and highly unexpected—cultural influence. “You know what's weird about that thing? It was the first time I worked with any people like the ad agen

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Evander Holyfield
Despite growing up poor—and not meeting his dad until age 21—the only boxer to win the world heavyweight title four times says he was never bitter. “I did have a mother. And my mother instilled in me that you have to forgive,” Evander Holyfield tells Dr. Blogstien’s Radio Happy Hour host David Brown. When you forgive, then you can set yourself free. People who don’t forgive, they’re always using a part of their mind by thinkin’ about ‘this.&

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Laetitia Dana
If it seems a stretch to think a Doobie Brother could launch the career of a French hip-hop artist, think again. Laetitia Dana recounts how she went from public relations staffer to recording artist. “I have always been singing, ever since I was in my mom’s belly. When I was five, I did a TV show called L’Ecole des Femmes. I sang in front of 3,000 people. I was absolutely terrified. But I never thought about having a singing career,” she tells Saturdays host Joy K

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Jason Kidd
The Dallas Mavericks’ superstar point guard reflects on working for team owner (and billionaire Shark Tank investor) Mark Cuban. “He’s the one who pays the checks, so he can scream and yell at anybody he wants,” Jason Kidd kiddingly tells Hoops in the Sun host Randy Cruz. “But I think people forget he’s a big fan of the game of basketball. And he shows that every night when he’s in the stands cheering, wanting the other team to foul, or wanting us to s

AT&T Presents: Listen 2 Learn! Willie Gault
Former NFL wide receiver Willie Gault, who helped lead the Chigaco Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX, may no longer grace the gridiron, but he’s still a force to be reckoned with on the homefront. “I love doing landscaping. I grew up doing stuff like that. My father could do just about anything. He could build houses, do the plumbing; he did mechanic work,” he tells host Tanya Memme. “Watching him taught me a lot. And now I’m able to handle myself around the

The Hollywood powerhouse, who famously makes his home in Brooklyn, N.Y., and whose 40 Acres & a Mule Filmworks has produced more than 35 flicks since 1985, reveals how he felt that the New York Knicks failed to snatch up NBA superstar LeBron James. “I was not disappointed. Because, if somebody doesn’t want to be here, then you don’t want’em. But I will go to my grave thinking they concocted this thing two years ago. This thing was rigged, and they made it work. So I

Former NBA star Kenny “The Jet” Smith, now a TNT hoops analyst, weighs in on the New York Knicks’ challenge of pooling their talents to regain the glory of their Walt Frazier days. “They don’t just need practice time, they need game time together. It’s different when you’re experiencing an obstacle when it’s happening. But when you’re just at practice, the stakes aren’t as high. There aren’t any real consequences, except ma
