Newsmax TV contributor Larry Elder received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, and actors Jon Voight and Dean Cain were there to sing his praises at the induction ceremony.
Taking to the podium on sunny Monday afternoon, Voight described Elder as "a great patriot" who "understands freedom and love of America,"
My News L.A. reported.
"He is an American success story," said Cain. "Hard work wins."
Elder, known as the "Sage of South Central," is the host of "The Larry Elder Show" a talk radio show that ran for roughly two decades on 790 KABC in Los Angeles, and was syndicated on ABC Radio Networks.
Elder is the best-selling author of "The 10 Things You Can’t Say in America" and several other books. He also appeared on television in "Moral Court" and "The Larry Elder Show," and is a frequent panelist on Newsmax TV.
Elder became the 2,548th person to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, which also marked his 63rd birthday.
Elder thanked many people in his acceptance speech, including his fans. He said that years ago he was walking down the street when a fan told him, "I love you and I hate you. You’re like castor oil. It don’t taste good going down, but it’s good for you."
Elder posted several pictures of the ceremony on Twitter, where he boasts more than 60,000 followers.
