NAOMI KLEIN, Kevin Nealon visit with Tavis Smiley tonight
An award-winning journalist, Naomi Klein writes a column for The Nation that is syndicated internationally. She's also a best-selling author. Her third book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, has been translated into 25 languages to date, and adapted into a short film. Her previous books include No Logo and Fences and Windows and, in '04, she released The Take, a feature documentary about Argentina's occupied factories. Klein is a former Miliband Fellow at the London School of Economics.

Kevin Nealon has been in show business for almost 30 years. He was the longest-running cast member in Saturday Night Live history and has appeared in several of his SNL cast mates' films, including Daddy Day Care and Anger Management. Nealon began his career at L.A.'s legendary Improv, while tending bar, and continues to do stand-up comedy around the country. Now starring in Showtime's Weeds, he's also written his first-ever book, which chronicles his experiences during his wife's pregnancy.
