Special Marks 20th Anniversary Of The Original "Comic Relief" On HBO
The live all-star comedy event COMIC RELIEF 2006 will air on SATURDAY,
NOV. 18 (9:00 pm-midnight live ET/tape-delayed PT) on HBO and TBS. To
be presented from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas as part of the second
annual edition of The Comedy Festival, the special will be hosted by
Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams, who also hosted the
first eight "Comic Relief" events on HBO. They will be joined by Zmuda,
and the telecast will include a live remote from Harrah's Fulton Street
in New Orleans and showcase the work of New Orleans filmmaker Kenny
Morrison. New Orleans brass-funk group Bonerama will serve as the house
band. Other performers will be announced as they are confirmed.
With Comic Relief's mission to unite the comedy community behind some
of society's most relevant causes and pressing needs, the COMIC RELIEF
2006 concert will help families affected by Hurricane Katrina in the
rebirth of New Orleans, raising funds to help them rebuild their homes
and tangibly address causes that kept people from escaping. While the
focus will be on New Orleans, Comic Relief will look for ways to assist
the recovery efforts in other areas of the region where possible.
Donations are already being accepted at the toll-free number
1-800-528-1000, or at Comic Relief's website, comicrelief.org
