- [00:00:01.217]Here's Johnny!
- [00:00:05.607](upbeat band music)
- [00:00:09.070]Johnny Carson was an innovator
- [00:00:11.320]and it's fitting that the emerging media
- [00:00:15.260]come from someone who literally invented
- [00:00:17.820]a particular form of television and, by the way,
- [00:00:21.180]literally invented a particular form
- [00:00:23.030]of television ownership of material.
- [00:00:25.730]So, in many ways, he saw 15, 20 years down the line.
- [00:00:30.530]There was a college show at the University of Nebraska
- [00:00:32.340]called a Cosmet Club, where the various fraternities
- [00:00:35.050]would write a show and perform it
- [00:00:36.310]and I wrote the show one year called
- [00:00:37.640]She Was Only a Pharaoh's Daughter
- [00:00:39.740]but She Never Became a Mummy.
- [00:00:41.640]That is me on the couch.
- [00:00:42.951](crowd cheering)
- [00:00:46.644](upbeat drum music)
- [00:00:49.600]So, the concept for me of what
- [00:00:51.310]this emerging media arts center could really be great at
- [00:00:55.300]is to prepare students to work
- [00:00:58.440]in a future in which traditional film will disappear.
- [00:01:02.780]It's not about the tech,
- [00:01:04.540]it's about the
- [00:01:06.890]inner soul of you as a creator
- [00:01:10.620]reaching out to other kinds of input
- [00:01:13.310]and being wiser about it.
- [00:01:15.190]Carson's almost a beacon for that,
- [00:01:18.590]so that's why I think this kind of program should,
- [00:01:22.720]almost could only be housed in something like
- [00:01:25.990]the Carson School.
- [00:01:27.274](lighthearted music)
- [00:01:29.780]Here, really a chance with the new program
- [00:01:32.760]to build something from scratch
- [00:01:35.270]that's gonna work for today and the future.
- [00:01:38.950]Lincoln has a great possibility
- [00:01:41.960]being a leader in that field, to take the next step
- [00:01:44.600]way beyond what other schools are doing.
- [00:01:47.260]And, that's why I'm here
- [00:01:48.630]because I love the idea of creating curriculum
- [00:01:50.830]for the 21st century as opposed to the 20th century.
- [00:01:54.676](lighthearted music)
