The "Roots" Tribute and Outstanding Mini-Series

Queen Latifah introduces the “Roots” tribute…The finale on January 30, 1977 is still the third most watched TV program of all time (after the “M*A*S*H finale and the “Who shot J.R.?” episode of “Dallas”)…Okay, apparently Queen is doing the entire tribute…
