Rolling sound. Quiet. From new york, the tonight show starring Johnny Carson. And now, heres the fabulous har Harry Belafonte. Here he comes. Strong gets more while the weak ones fade i found out about that week from Harry Belafonte. I went over to his home. And all of a sudden, effortlessly, he started talking about this week of television and the tonight show. Im thinking, wait a minute, Harry Belafonte hosted a week of the tonight show . What . What . How did i not know this . That was probably the most revolutionary move that Mainstream Television could have done, at the time. I write about tv. I write about politics. I should have known about it. Why dois this history lost to u . Harry belafonte takes an existing, White Institution in american culture, and he turns it into something that represents his world. That it should be multicultural. That it should be politically engaged. What Harry Belafonte did, he combined politics and entertainment. Like, a forerunner to the daily show
