It will be an emotional and wonderful night.
In keeping it all in the family, my nephew, my sister Gay's son, Adam, is the event's planner. And we'll also have a full orchestra on the stage so it will feel like a ballroom. My friend John Mayer is going to sing songs at the end. Jim Gaffigan is coming in from New York for this. And June 5th is Jeff's birthday so that shows what kind of friend he is. I emailed Jeff Garlin and asked him if he'd like to come to Cool Comedy - Hot Cuisine and sit next to me with his wonderful wife Marla, and he said 'only if I'm performing.' So he'll be doing comedy.
And after that auction, we have a match grant. And I know I'm going to be hit by the ball (laughs). At the time, there was a big stigma against disease-of-the-week movies and you really didn.
We have really great auction items including tickets to the Dodgers Game front row between home plate and first base and I'm going with the winners. After Gay died from scleroderma in 1994, Bob came up with an idea to make a television movie about her. This is a very special one - Jimmy Kimmel is doing the auction with me. on June 5th at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
