NPR’s beloved Tiny Desk Concerts series, in which the organization brings in a range of musical acts to perform in their New York City offices, appears to be getting a makeover amid cuts to the national budget for arts and public media.

“We’re committed to continuing to provide the wonderful concerts for which Bob Boilen and NPR Music are known and loved,” says NPR COO Loren Mayor. “But with these budget cuts, we really can’t justify providing a desk—large, tiny, minuscule or otherwise—to these artists.”

While the series is now officially on hiatus, rumors persist that Mattel may take on a sponsorship role, offering not only tinier desks but the opportunity to take things on the road via Barbie’s Beach Bus or her Country Camper.

Current United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, who recently faced scrutiny after he spent $31,000 on a new dining room set for his own office despite federal law that requires congressional approval if such an expense exceeds $5,000, expressed empathy for the non-profit media organization. However, he also mused, “Does anyone over there really use those desks anyhow? I mean they were able to cram in all of Tedeschi Trucks Band and P-Funk for performances. I, on the other hand, need my special furniture because we’re serving Grey Poupon and Fancy Feast over here.”
