My colleague Armani Martin attended last week's "Rickey Smiley For Real" press outing to talk to Smiley himself.

His TV One reality show is in its second season and splits time between his home life and his kids and his work life with his colleagues on his Atlanta-based syndicated radio show and "Dish Nation." It returns tonight (May 10) at 8 p.m.
