Nick Offerman Sings GOP Anthem in Comics for Kamala Zoom Call
Monday night’s event, which begins at 8 p.m. ET, was inspired by a series of virtual appeals that have raised huge sums for Harris’ campaign since it launched on July 21. A White Dudes for Harris appeal on Monday raised more than $4 million and featured celebrities including Jeff Bridges and Joseph Gordon Levitt, and political figures including Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC).
Also on the call was Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who said he was inspired to reach out to friends and contacts in the comedy world for a virtual stand-up event. He said he reached out to Dani Zoldan, owner of Stand Up New York, and producer Jamie Patricof to organize the event.
Also scheduled to attend the event, according to the invitation, are Patton Oswalt, Kathy Griffin, Jon Hamm, Kathryn Hahn, Ed Helms, John Stamos, Max Greenfield, Tom Arnold, Matt Friend, Lake Bell, Rosie O'Donnell, Craig Robinson, Tom Lennon, Trae Crowder, Danny Zuker, Maz Jobrani, Lisa Ann Walter, David Koechner, Nick Offerman, Tim Heidecker and Chris Messina, with more expected to appear.
