    BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alexander Mitchell Washington, D.C. April 19, 2018 Copyright © 2018 Alexander Mitchell All rights reserved ii BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM Alexander Mitchell Thesis Adviser: Brian Hochman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT On June 16, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy bounded into Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Tonight Show host Jack Paar had invited Kennedy onto his program as the first presidential candidate to appear on late night television. Paar treated Kennedy with deference and worked to keep his program largely apolitical, focusing mostly on charming banter with the candidate and questions about his personal life. However, despite Paar’s best efforts, the press slammed him for being too political by even having a politician on his program. Fast- forward fifty-six years to 2016. In the exact same studio, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon conducts a similarly friendly interview with controversial presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Once again the host is widely attacked by the presses. But this time the criticism isn’t that Fallon was being too political, it was that he wasn’t being political enough. In this senior thesis I explore what changes occurred over this six-decade span to make Americans expect more from our late night talk show hosts.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 Speech-Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE 1938 - 1963 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charles Andrew Rodgers, B„Sc0, M.A„ ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by p/ p s Adviser PREFACE The popular, even the scholarly, concept of the American theatre has tended to center about theatrical ac­ tivities in New York City0 Only recently, with increasing emphasis placed upon educational, community, and summer theatre, has there arisen increasing recognition of the theatrical world outside New York. And though the ex­ istence of the road has long been acknowledged, a substan­ tial part of that theatre history--made when the theatre’s most important personalities in their original roles were criss-crossing America--still remains to be written. In the professional theatre of the nineteen sixties the road is confined to a relatively small group of larger cities privileged to view Broadway successes and mediocrities Columbus, Ohio is one of these cities. Over the years Columbus has had many legitimate playhouses (Market House, Comstock's Theatre, The Great Southern Theatre), but the Hartman Theatre, since its opening in 1911, has been the busiest and most important theatre in central Ohio. From its opening until the present except for a period of dark­ ness between 1963 and 1964, the Hartman has made profes­ sional theatre available to Ohio audiences.

Miriam Ruth, The Mother-Supreme, definitely keeps the young Agnes away from the doctor, raising Livingston's suspicions further. Who killed the baby and who was the father of the tiny victim? Livingston's questions force all three women to reconsider the meaning of faith and the power of love that leads to John Pilmeier's play GodWritten by John PielmeierCharactersAgnesMother Miriam RuthDr. Martha Livingston's premiere of the 1979Place premiere of Eugene O'Neill's Theatrical Language CenterEnglishSubjectDramaSettingA Monastery Agnes God is a 1979 play by American playwright John Pielmeier which tells the story of an aspiring nun who gives birth and insists that the baby was the result of a virgin concept. The psychiatrist and mother of the monastery's chief clashed during the investigation. The name is a pun on the Latin phrase Agnus Dei (The Lamb of God). Summary Of the Stage Play touches on three main characters: Martha, a psychiatrist; Mother-supreme; and Agnes, a rookie. There are no other characters on the stage. All three roles are considered to be demanding of the actors playing them. Martha covers the entire range of emotions during the play, from educator to antagonist, from a hard-footed court psychiatrist and atheist to a faithful healer seeking faith. She is always on stage and has only three small respite from monologues or dialogue while Agnes and Mother Supreme take memories of the events in the monastery.

  • The Words May Be Wrong”
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SOMEWHERE THERE’S MUSIC: NANCY HAMILTON, THE OLD GIRLS’ NETWORK, AND THE AMERICAN MUSICAL THEATRE OF THE 1930S AND 1940S Korey R. Rothman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Heather Nathans Department of Theatre Nancy Hamilton, a Broadway lyricist, playwright, actress, screenwriter, and Academy Award-winning filmmaker, is an important unsung figure of the twentieth century musical theatre. Although she is now remembered chiefly as the lyricist of the song “How High the Moon” and, in the recent drive to recover gay and lesbian history, the life-long romantic partner of “first lady of the American stage,” Katharine Cornell, Hamilton was a successful lyricist of the intimate revue, a genre of musical theatre that flourished during the 1930s. Her intimate revues One for the Money (1939) and Two for the Show (1940) launched the careers of luminaries of stage and screen, including Alfred Drake, Gene Kelly, and Betty Hutton, and Three to Make Ready (1946), which featured Ray Bolger, ran for an impressive 323 performances. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Hamilton maintained a constant presence as employer or employee on Broadway, and it appeared that she thrived by surrounding herself with an Old Girls’ Network of women with whom she maintained overlapping professional and romantic relationships. This previously unchronicled Old Girls’ Network, which included women such as Katharine Hepburn, Beatrice Lillie, and Mary Martin, countered the established Old Boys’ Network of popular entertainment and launched the careers of many well-known women performers, producers, directors, composers, and lyricists. Yet, even with the support of this network, Hamilton could barely sustain her career after the 1940s.
