FEEDING AMERICA COMEDY FESTIVAL
Various Networks, 7:00 p.m. ET
SPECIAL: When I said these socially distanced entertainment specials were “increasingly familiar,” I wasn’t exaggerating. In fact, tonight there are two of them competing for viewers in the same time slot. This one, a charity benefit for Feeding America, is co-hosted by organizer Bryon Allen, Tiffany Haddish, Kenan Thompson, and Billy Crystal. Pre-recorded comedy bits are provided by, among others, Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, and George Lopez. Other participants include Stephen Colbert, Judd Apatow, Sarah Silverman, Michael Che, Will Ferrell, and Wanda Sykes. This special first was scheduled for The Weather Channel (owned by organizer, Byron Allen), believe it or not, and you can still watch it there – but as this comedy storm increased in intensity, it worked its way onto the NBC network as well.
