PBS: "Finding Your Roots"

[anon1]

I love this show by Henry Louis Gates Jr. Tonight's episode is a repeat, but a really good one.
Carly Simon, the heiress of Simon and Schuster publishing, finds out her great-grandmother was a black slave. Her reaction is priceless.
Fred Armisen, of SNL, finds out his grandfather is a famous Japanese cult hero and spy.

That PBS series has been around since 2012, but it is only in the last season that the north east PBS stations have picked it up. You can find older programs on Youtube.
