SUGGESTED HOST INTRO
Violinist Hilary Hahn performed on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien back in March 2010. At that time, the late night show was in the middle of a hosting controversy.  That hosting drama aside, she says there are some obvious differences and not so obvious differences between playing on stage and playing on TV.

CLIP TRANSCRIPT
"It's kind of disconcerting sometimes when you play for a TV show because you have all these cameras around you; they're moving while you're playing, there's a big distance between you and the audience, so it's not in any sense a normal performing situation.  And they usually count you in, so it's not like, okay, put my violin up, tune,  start when I'm ready, it's like 5 - 4 - 3 -2 - GO!"

SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO
Violinist Hilary Hahn.  She played on the Tonight Show back in March 2010.  At the time, the legendary television franchise had its share of back stage hosting staring Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and David Letterman.  Now that the Late Night drama is finally over, here is Hilary Hahn playing (insert music title and composer...)
