The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (2009) [TV] IMDb
actor: Conan O'Brien / The Tonight Show Band
The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien is an American late-night talk show that featured Conan O'Brien as host from June 1, 2009 to January 22, 2010 as part of NBC's long-running Tonight Show franchise. The program's host, Conan O'Brien, previously hosted NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien, which followed The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for 16 years, until O'Brien's brief succession over Leno.Many members of the Late Night cast and crew made the transition to The Tonight Show. The Max Weinberg 7, the house band from O'Brien's Late Night, served as the house band under the new name, Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band. Andy Richter returned to the show as announcer, and also began resuming his role as sidekick, shortly before the show's conclusion. The opening and closing theme song from Late Night was also carried over to Tonight, in a slightly altered form.In January 2010, after the show had been on the air for seven months, it was announced that NBC was intending to move Jay Leno from primetime back to his original timeslot at 11:35 pm, with O'Brien's show starting shortly after midnight. In response to the announcement, O'Brien released a press statement saying that he would not continue as host of The Tonight Show if it was moved to any time after midnight to accommodate The Jay Leno Show. He feared it would ruin the long and rich tradition of The Tonight Show. It had been on after the late local newscasts from the beginning. After two weeks of negotiations, NBC announced that they had paid $45 million to buy out O'Brien's contract, ending both his tenure as host as well as his relationship with NBC after 22 years.

other title: 革命背景乐 / 一场革命的背景乐
美国人权运动的展现,记录了美国黑人音乐家在20世纪中叶,用音乐的形式,激励美国黑人以和平抗议手段来获得平等权力的经过,通过采访马丁路得金的妻子,人权运动积极分子,歌手,作曲家等,将美国黑人反抗种族歧视,隔离政策等所做的努力,同时也展现了当权政府血腥镇压,还有暗杀,爆炸等恐怖行为到最后屈服于全美人民的意志过程。
The American civil rights movement is vividly captured by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman--award winners for their collaboration on Nanking--through image and song. And what song! Compelling archival footage is set against dynamite contemporary performances of movement anthems by, among others, Wyclef Jean, John Legend, Anthony Hamilton and the Blind Boys of Alabama, Richie Havens, The Roots and Joss Stone (whose stirring rendition of "Eyes on the Prize" is a stand out).
The freedom songs evolved from slave chants, the labour movement and, especially, from the black church. The music enabled blacks to sing what they couldn't say, and it was crucial in helping the protesters as they faced down brutal aggression with dignity and nonviolence. The infectious energy of the songs swept people up--as they do again here--and empowered them keep fighting. The film also features interviews with civil rights soldiers and leaders of the movement, including Congressman John Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Julian Bond and Ambassador Andrew Young, but it is the songs themselves that are really the stars here. A celebration of the power of music to give strength and hope, Soundtrack for a Revolution is a vibrant, soul-stirring experience and a film of significance, energy and power.
