Al Jazeera English (AJE; Arabic: الجزيرة, romanized: al-jazīrah, lit. 'the island', pronounced [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ]), often referred to as Al Jazeera, is a 24-hour English-language news channel operating under the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is funded in part by the government of Qatar. The network launched its English-language division in 2006. It is the first global English-language news channel to be headquartered in the Middle East.

Al Jazeera has been recognised for in-depth and frontline reporting, particularly in conflict zones such as the Arab Spring and the Gaza–Israel conflict. Al Jazeera's coverage of the Arab Spring has won the network numerous awards, including the Peabody Award. It positions itself as an alternative media platform to prominent Western media outlets such as CNN and the BBC, focusing on narrative reporting where subjects present their own stories.

John William Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American television host, comedian, and writer best known as the host of NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962–1992). Carson received six Primetime Emmy Awards, the Television Academy's 1980 Governor's Award and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.

During World War II, Carson served in the United States Navy. After the war, he started a career in radio, then moved to television and took over as host of the late-night talk show Tonight from Jack Paar in 1962. Carson remained an American cultural icon even after his retirement in 1992. He adopted a casual, conversational approach with extensive interaction with guests, an approach pioneered by Arthur Godfrey and previous Tonight Show hosts Paar and Steve Allen but enhanced by Carson's lightning-quick wit. A cultural phenomenon, Carson is widely regarded as the King of Late Night Television. Former late-night host and friend David Letterman, as well as many others, have cited Carson's influence.
