This is the webmaster of the Museum of Broadcast Communications (www.museum.tv) - I wanted to clarify the omission of Conan O'Brien from the Encyclopedia of TV Tonight Show article posted on our website. The Encyclopedia of TV is unfortunately rather outdated - the articles have not been updated since the publication of the 2nd edition, which happened well before Mr. O'Brien ever became host of the Tonight Show. The Museum does not currently have the resources to do an update of the Encyclopedia - although if we do in the future, I certainly expect that Mr. O'Brien's tenure on the Tonight Show (and the circumstances and controversy surrounding its end) would be in the article.
The bottom line is that Mr. O'Brien was never removed from the article, as he was never there in the first place. While that article does not contain mention of Mr. O'Brien, we did present a roundtable discussion of his hosting of the Tonight Show (and on the topic of late night in general) last November - you can watch a stream of it at this location: http://www.museum.tv/museumsection.php?page=533 Museum of Broadcast Communications www.Museum.TV On Feb 3, 2:50 pm, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > And I'm referring to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, not NBC - > who would be fools to promote Coco at this juncture. > > On Feb 3, 12:48 pm, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > > > History is written by the winners?!?
