On June 5, 2007, The Museum of Television & Radio changed its name to The Paley Center for Media. All references to events on these pages reflect the institution's name at the time of the event.

Many of the honorees have participated in panel discussions at the Center over the past twenty years to discuss their careers and work. Wherever possible we are offering excerpts from those discussions. The full programs of all the excerpts are available at the Center in New York and Los Angeles.
