What good is sitting, alone in your room? Come, hear the music play! The Paley Center is happy to be the communal living room for fans of American Idol and Glee for their big season finales: Idol is closing out its tenth season as one of the most successful juggernauts in TV history; Glee has redefined the idea of the musical on television in just two years.

Come watch them both on May 24 on a huge theater screen, in HD. There will be audience karaoke during the commercials, and a live performance by the award-winning Wilton High School Madrigals, under the direction of Betsey DeGroff, from Wilton, CT.

Oprah: The Final Show
@ 4:00 pm

The Paley Center is happy to invite Oprah's legion of fans to come to the Center to share the experience of watching the last installment of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The Oprah Winfrey Show has dominated the daytime talk show genre since it went national in 1986, and transformed Winfrey into one of the most powerful cultural forces of the twentieth century, all the while empowering her to pursue her self-described mandate of using television "not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives."
