Conan O’Brien Launches Famous Authors On Ziplines

By Jason Boog 

In a recent sketch on his show, television host Conan O’Brien confessed: “TBS, my new bosses, they’re worried that authors won’t be entertaining enough to our young audience, most of whom have never seen a book.”

In response, O’Brien created a new feature that will bring literature to a generation bored with books: Famous Authors on Ziplines. We’ve embedded the video above–what do you think?

The funny literary stunt featured readings by Joyce Carol Oates, Maya Angelou, Thomas Wolfe.
