THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS A generation of country music fans might call Lance Smith the "face of CMT". A Nashville native, Smith spent his early adulthood pursuing an acting career. However, in early 2000 a unique job opportunity on one of the highest grossing music tours in the country showed Lance another side of the entertainment business that ended up being the right fit. As an emcee of the Dixie Chicks’ Fly tour, Lance performed in front of an average of 15,000 people a night, for 92 shows across the country. The experience caught the attention of executives at VIACOM and CMT, eventually making Lance Smith a household name with the country music audience. Ten years later, with over a thousand shows hosted and hundreds of celebrities interviewed, Lance parted ways with CMT to expand his talents into new venues. After hosting the first season of the Weather Channel's Weathering Disaster, Lance would eventually find a home in Orlando, Florida as an anchor on the nationally syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz. There, Lance was given the freedom to find his voice in the show's irreverent bent. He wrote and produced a number of highly praised editorial commentaries and discovered his passion for working behind the camera. After a 20+ year television hosting career, including a few big screen acting roles, Lance has mostly stepped away from the spotlight and found his purpose in the director’s chair. His first feature, the aptly titled, A Time For Every Purpose, is a gritty, faith based drama, which he also co-wrote. The movie, distributed by Freestyle Digital Media, is slated to be released October, 2023 and available for rent on all SVOD platforms. Lance is in his 9th season as game day host for his favorite team, the Tennessee Titans. He also hosted 6 seasons of the weekly show, Titans Blitz, with legendary NFL running back, Eddie George. Currently, Lance, along with his wife and three daughters live in Orlando, FL.
