Wendell Scott may still be searching for his big break, but at least he’s found a brighter spotlight.

Returning for the first of six episodes on Friday, Wendell’s GTV-produced talk show “The Wendell Show” is coming off its summer-hiatus with more resources, energy and focus.

“In the beginning, I had a dream and I wanted to fulfill it, but I didn’t have the resources or the knowledge to do it on [the] professional level that I do now,” Scott said.

Wendell Scott, along with a new and improved staff, returns Friday for a new season of his talk show, which will include spotlighting on Greek and non-profit organizations.

Serving as both host and executive producer, Scott now oversees a production staff that includes an editor and web developer, as well as a revolving slate of volunteering students — a big change from earlier seasons produced last year, which were products mostly of his determination.

“We’re much more professional this year,” he said. “It’s starting to look like the nation’s first [college daytime] talk show instead of a school production.”

Now entering its third semester of production, “The Wendell Show” hopes to expand its audience and increase its campus involvement with the help of its behind-the-scenes makeover.

In front of the camera, Scott also hopes to lure in new viewers with the promise of varied, interesting guests, many of whom he first met while interning at the CW’s “Focus Atlanta” this summer.

Chef Arthur King will be appearing for two segments and the North Georgia Paranormal Society will also be making a return visit.

Specifically, Scott pointed to a crucial moment in his internship when realization struck.

“The day that really changed my life was when I met Raven-Symoné’s dad,” he said. “Talking to him made me feel like I could talk to anyone.”

Additionally, “The Wendell Show” will begin spotlighting Greek and non-profit organizations during its episodes.

“I figured 15 minutes of talking to one guest and 15 minutes of entertainment wasn’t enough for the show,” Scott said. “It just seemed really bland, so I wanted some way to spice it up.”

Freshness — a renewed determination coupled with a broader embrace of specific, University-friendly elements — is a central concept to the re-vamped talk show, which will begin taping its season this Thursday in the MLC.

“This year’s a lot more planned,” said Mallory Whitfield, the show’s executive assistant.

To that end, each episode will have an individual theme — “Diversity in the Workplace,” “Becoming a Better You,” etc. — encompassed by a season-long focus on self-improvement and human interest.

At the heart of all that has changed and been improved about “The Wendell Show” is Scott’s desire to make a brand, and a name, out of the nation’s first college daytime talk show.

His work thus far, the numerous flyers, glad-handing and occasional radio interview, has accomplished much in that direction, increasing both his profile and GTV’s.

“[Wendell] is coming back with a fury and is just doing a phenomenal job,” said Kenny Adcox, president of GTV. “I hope it gets as big as we can handle.”

GTV will also be launching shows focused on the Athens music scene, the outdoors and a sci-fi anthology, though each will be situated around Scott’s program.

“It’s definitely one of our strongest shows,” Adcox said.

Experiences with the previous two seasons, as well as his summer at the CW, have made him more comfortable orchestrating each element of the production.

A third season now finds “The Wendell Show” and its host invigorated and assured.

“I now know what I need to make it happen,” he said. “I feel like I have a bigger voice this year.”
