Teen Summit


Teen Summit is an American talk show for youth that aired on Black Entertainment Television from September 16, 1989 to August 31, 2002. In recent years it has returned as a very occasional special to the network's schedule.

Background

Created by Black Entertainment Television chief operating officer Sheila Johnson and originating producer Tony Regusters, Teen Summit dealt with the everyday issues teenagers dealt with and attempted to bring them into a positive, uplifting light, while motivate the teen viewers. Following original program host Lisa Johnson, various hosts have appeared on the show throughout the years, including Ananda Lewis.

Cancellation and subsequent specials

After 13 years, Teen Summit was cancelled on August 31, 2002. Since then, it has returned twice, as a special called Teen Summit: Backstage Pass on June 21, 2007, then on June 25, 2017 as a part of that year's "BET Experience" festival in Los Angeles, hosted by Mindless Behavior's Princeton Perez.
