*Bishop T.D. Jakes premiered his nationally syndicated talk show “The T.D. Jakes Show” on September 12 on WBIR, and in case you missed it, the show will have a second airing on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network.
The best-selling author, film and music producer and entrepreneur will feature real personal stories, and celebrity and non-celebrity guests alike engaging in honest conversation.
The 58-year-old televangelist has regularly hosted specials on TBN and alongside Winfrey on the OWN Network. He also hosted a weekend talk show for BET called “Mind, Body & Soul” in 2013.
“This is as close as I will ever come to giving birth or know what that feels like,” said Jakes, during a one-on-one interview recently.
“It’s very, very exciting to have the opportunity to take your experience, and the many gifts that you’ve been given and to use them to help coordinate the show,” he said. “It’s amazing.”

Jakes has penned over 40 critically acclaimed books, and has produced Grammy-winning music and several feature films. He also pens columns for Essence magazine, and he’s thrilled about this new television adventure.
“We’ve got the right team around us, and we’ve got the right subject matter to provide the kind of information and inspiration that I don’t see on daytime television today,” Jakes said.
WBIR.com reports that his new show will include “conflict resolutions dealing with families and crisis — helping them work through some tough situations.”
