NEW YORK -- MSG Entertainment is proud to announce the first annual "Radio City Music Hall Speaker Series," entitled "The Minds That Move The World," a timely and important series of events that will provide attendees with a unique framework for understanding America's current political landscape and place in world politics, through the insights of some of the most prominent political figures of our time. Over the course of three months, Radio City will host four special evenings with top political leaders and pundits, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton; former U.S. Vice President Al Gore; former presidential candidate and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; former presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards; high profile political operative James Carville; former political commentator Tucker Carlson; and influential blogger Arianna Huffington. NBC's Tim Russert and CNN's Anderson Cooper will serve as event moderators for two of the evenings. Moderators for President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore's engagements will be announced at a later date.

"MSG Entertainment is proud to present our first speaker series featuring such a distinguished group of political figures, during one of the most exciting and important presidential election years of our lifetime," said Melissa Miller Ormond, executive vice president, Bookings, MSG Entertainment. "We hope that 'The Radio City Music Hall Speaker Series' will not only give New Yorkers an informative and empowering experience that will help them make informed political decisions, but also inspire them to become more involved in our democratic process."

"Over its long history Radio City Music Hall has been the site of an extremely diverse collection of events that have spanned the spectrum of topics - from entertainment to movies to politics. With the 'Radio City Music Hall Speaker Series,' we are embracing the unique capacity of Radio City to serve as a destination for important cultural events," added Ormond.

The series will be formatted to allow for each participant to present their thoughts on a wide range of important political and national issues, followed by a moderated question and answer period during which the moderator can elicit additional information and insights into particularly pertinent topics of the day.
