An open mic or open mike (derived from the expression "open microphone") is a live show at a coffeehouse, nightclub, comedy club or pub where audience members who are amateur performers or professionals who want to try out new material or plug an upcoming show are given the opportunity to perform onstage.
 Typically, as the name suggests, the performer is provided with a microphone which is plugged into a PA system, to make the individual's performance loud enough for the audience to hear.
 Often the performers sign up in advance for a time slot with the host or master of ceremonies, typically an experienced performer or the venue manager or owner.
 The master of ceremonies may screen potential candidates for suitability for the venue and give individuals a time to perform in the show.
 These events are focused on performance arts like poetry and spoken word, music (often singer-songwriters who accompany themselves on guitar), and comedy.
 Less commonly, small groups, such as a small rock band duo/trio or a comedy duo may appear.
 Group performances are uncommon, because of the space and the logistics of loading in and soundchecking such a group.

 It premiered on NBC, a terrestrial television network, on October 11, 1975 under the title "NBC's Saturday Night".

 With the exception of Season 7 and several other rare cases, the show has begun with a cold open that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!

Bob Boilen is the current host and the creator of NPR's online music show "All Songs Considered".
 He is also the creator of the Tiny Desk Concert series for NPR Music, hosting intimate performances at his desk.
 The series curated by Boilen and the team of NPR Music was inspired by a comment made by NPR Music's Stephen Thompson when he jokingly invited musician Laura Gibson to perform at Bob's desk.
 The two of them went to see Gibson at a show at SXSW in 2008 and the loud crowd made it impossible to hear her.
 The name of the series is a play on the name Tiny Desk Unit, a band Boilen played in from 1979-1981.
 Bob Boilen was the director of the NPR show "All Things Considered" (1989–2007) and chose the music between the news stories for that show.
 Those musical snippets or "buttons" was the starting point for the creation of "All Songs Considered".
Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman.
 The story concerns a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition, of the past performers of the "Weismann's Follies", a musical revue (based on the "Ziegfeld Follies"), that played in that theatre between the World Wars.
 It focuses on two couples, Buddy and Sally Durant Plummer and Benjamin and Phyllis Rogers Stone, who are attending the reunion.
 Sally and Phyllis were showgirls in the Follies.
 Both couples are deeply unhappy with their marriages.
 Buddy, a traveling salesman, is having an affair with a girl on the road; Sally is still as much in love with Ben as she was years ago; and Ben is so self-absorbed that Phyllis feels emotionally abandoned.
 Several of the former showgirls perform their old numbers, sometimes accompanied by the ghosts of their former selves.
 The musical numbers in the show have been interpreted as pastiches of the styles of the leading Broadway composers of the 1920s ands '30s, and sometimes as parodies of specific songs.

 A one-hour show, the announcers, SPEED's Formula One commentary team, Bob Varsha, Steve Matchett, and David Hobbs, perform a mixture of a commentary as if the race is taking place right now along with reminiscing about rules changes and also Matchett's then role with Michael Schumacher's team.
