Love The Tonight Show? Then you won't want to miss

Love The Tonight Show? Then you won't want to miss The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts the Tonight Show - now playing in The Cove Theater!

In early 1968, racial tensions were inflaming the nation and a divisive election was underway. America was exploding politically and culturally, much like today. THE SIT-IN: HARRY BELAFONTE HOSTS THE TONIGHT SHOW chronicles a remarkable moment during February 1968, when for one week, singer, actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte took over the desk as guest host of Johnny Carson’s iconic “Tonight Show.” It was the first time an African-American hosted a late night television show for an entire week.
