Bill's most recent TV assignment was as contributor to the long-running PBS series, My Generation. His profiles of well-known people include elements inspired by his book, Got What it Takes? The widely-praised book, published by HarperCollins, Got What it takes?: Successful People Reveal How They Made It To the Top is based on success secrets uncovered in his interviews with leaders in diverse fields—among those are Sir Richard Branson, Clive Davis, Maria Bartiromo, Renee Zelwegger, Diane von Furstenberg, Donald Trump, Matt Lauer, Joe Torre and others. The book and Bill's vast experience interviewing successful people is a source point for many of his motivational talks and leadership seminars. He has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, CBS Early Show and The Wall Street Journal Report to discuss success secrets.
Boggs has always displayed unique versatility on TV, from his high energy roles as a game show host for CBS, to a news anchor for WNBC-TV on Weekend Today in New York and as host and executive producer of the syndicated FOX-TV series, Comedy Tonight. Bill was the founding executive producer of Court TV (now TruTV) and executive producer of the ground breaking Morton Downey Jr. Show. He’s interviewed notable guests on CNBC's Let's Talk Stockand also on Historic Traveler and Freeze Frame on the Travel Channel. He has covered boxing for Showtime Network as host of Championship Boxing Report Update. In the food/media world, Bill was the host and creator of the PBS television show, Home Cooked Classics. For ten years he was the energetic on stage force behind Food Network Live & Simon Super Chefs Live, culinary food and wine shows presented around the country. He helped launch the Food Network, pioneered the first-ever national restaurant review show, TV Diners, and created the long-running hit, Bill Boggs Corner Table. Bill performs four additional stage shows: Memories of Sinatra, Fun at Food Network, A Ratpack Revival and Voices of Our Time at colleges, theaters and on some elite cruise lines around the globe. In 2003, Boggs debuted in his acclaimed one-man Off Broadway show, Talk Show Confidential, which ran for six years in NYC at the Triad Theater. It’s the first theatrical production of its kind, dealing with the alternately bizarre and inspiring world of talk shows. It offers everything from celeb gossip, rare video clips and funny and inspirational personal stories. Talk Show Confidential and Bill's novel, At First Sight have been optioned together for a movie screenplay inspired by his life. He has appeared as himself in several movies and television series, including: Trading Places, The Lemon Sisters, Eyes of Laura Mars, OZ, The Dave Chappelle Show, Species, Night Falls on Manhattan, As The World Turns, Spin City, The Comedian, Miami Vice, and more.
