2017 Tony Awards In Memoriam#1

The Tony Awards have released the list of those to be included on the In Memoriam, and the list includes Roger Ailes. He may have produced a Broadway show, but I think this is an awful decision and sends a terrible message for the Tonys to honor this man.

That's absurd. He has one producing credit to his name... a flop from 1972.

Both Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos have producing credits, as well. Will they then be included when they die?

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

I hope that Radio City either breaks out in hisses or utter silence when that name comes up.

Are ALL these people going to be mentioned at the telecast? I can't imagine so since the list is huge. I would imagine that most will just be honored on the Tony page and just a select few will be honored during the broadcast.

 Hopefully they will pick the right people.

Yeah, I can't imagine they're going to do everyone, but Ailes shouldn''t even be on this list.

Don't they normally just blow through them, just stopping to linger when one of the well known ones comes up?

If you scroll down on that page there are a series of pictures of the 33 most well known people on the list. I would not be surprised if those are the people shown on the telecast. Roger Ailes isn't one of them (thank god). 

Also, hello! Long time lurker, first time poster.

Before they announce Ailes' name and show his pic the orchestra should play 8 rousing bars of happy days are here again
