Tetris

Tetris is a very old video game made by Alexey Pajitnov, when he was working at the Dorodnicyn Computing Center of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow, Russia. Created in 1984, the game has become very popular. The game really took off when the handheld version of the game was released in 1989. The game has 7 pieces that fall from the top of the screen, and you have to fill up one row to clear it. The game has had many variations and is still popular today.

Conan O'Brien

Conan O'Brien was the host of The Tonight Show on NBC until just recently. He started hosting the show 7 months ago, and refused to have his time switched after local news stations were complaing that they were losing advertising mo0ney from the earlier time, where Jay Leno's show was. NBC planned to move all the shows back at least a half an hour, and Conan refused, and so he no longer hosts The Tonight Show. It was a very popular and funny show, and it's a shame it's off the air.
