On Wednesday nights airing of "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien", viewers were treated with some poetry. But, not just any poetry... William Shatner read poetry. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the poems were actually tweets from former Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
With Conan O'Brien taking over hosting duties on The Tonight Show, from 17 year veteran Jay Leno, it's no denying that the audience will be slightly younger... dare I say more tech savvy?
Perhaps The Tonight Show writers were thinking along those same lines last night when Conan asked the audience "anybody here Twitter?"
Considering what's going on in the world - financial collapses, mine disasters, North Korean missile announcements - celebrity-related matters may be of less importance than ever. But they're certainly holding people's interest - perhaps we can all use the distraction - and Hitwise and YouTube recently acknowledged the issue.
NBC Digital Entertainment has announced it will stream "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on NBC.com.
