Danette Crawford Launches Weekly Talker With Co-Executive Producer Clifton Davis

From a struggling single mom to a best-selling author and now hosting and executive producing her own syndicated talk show, Danette Crawford knows firsthand emotional battles and financial hardships. Her life, once filled with fear and hopelessness, slowly did turn around. She shares how that happened on her new show.

Joy with Danette Crawford, a new half-hour TV talk show, will explore timely and in-depth conversations with well-known heroes, community leaders, celebrities and everyday people who share their personal stories. Joy will debut Saturday April 17 (Saturdays to follow) on the Daystar Network with an encore presentation Sundays on CBS affiliates. The first 13-episode season will include real-life stories that will inspire, uplift and enrich audiences' lives.

Award winning actor Clifton Davis will join Crawford as co-executive producer.

In the premiere episode, Michael Copon (Beyond the Break, One Tree Hill) opens up about why he left Hollywood, his struggles with depression, his thoughts of suicide and how he got through his darkest moments.

"I'm so thankful to have this platform as a way to inspire viewers to find joy in their lives. When my husband left me and I became a single mom overnight, I was faced with such seemingly insurmountable odds," Crawford explains. "It made me aware of the fragility of life, all lives. I soon learned that joy was the key to success. Through my faith, I found my joy. It's an honor to play part in sharing real-life stories that will encourage viewers that they can find JOY no matter the situation they find themselves in."

Joy with Danette Crawford will air Saturdays on the Daystar Network at 2:30 p.m. ET with an encore presentation Sundays on CBS affiliates, 5:30 a.m. ET on WTKR Hampton Roads and 11:30 a.m. PT on KCAL Los Angeles.
