So it seems as if Comedy Central has jumped on the bandwagon for TV fundraisers. I was skeptical about watching it but since nothing else was on tonight (Sunday) I decided to watch a few minutes of it and I ended up watching most of it. They’re raising money for autism and there were so many famous people I couldn’t even begin to name all of them on here.
I thought it was a nice change from most telefunds because it was all focused on comedy. It wasn’t a bunch of famous people attempting to sing or perform stunts, or try bad circus acts. Two of my favorite parts were when Will Ferrall impersonating President Bush and when Steve Carell showed how $100 could be spent. They also had the Blue Man Group, several cameos from numerous stars, and it was all hosted by Jon Stewart.
But not all of it was jokes and laughs. They also showed clips of families with children that have autism and how they struggle financially. It reminds viewers that these stars are trying to help people who could really use the donations to help their children.
