LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and a host of celebrities, including Billy Crystal, Jennifer Hudson and Lin-Manuel Miranda, are part of a special presentation aimed at reducing COVID’s vaccination rates 19 to increase.
“Roll Up Your Sleeves,” which airs on NBC Sunday at 7 p.m., features Matthew McConaughey interviewing dr. Anthony Fauci to help separate ‘facts and fiction’ about the vaccines, the network said.
Biden will make a direct appeal in support of the effort, while Obama will unite basketball greats Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal to strengthen the role of vaccines to allow Americans to get their lives back on track.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama will team up with Miranda, Faith Hill and Jennifer Lopez in support of shots during the hour-long special presentation by wife Russell Wilson, NFL quarterback, and actor-singer Ciara.
Other announced highlights include comedy by Billy Crystal and Wanda Sykes and performances by TV doctors Eric Dane, Ryan Eggold, Ellen Pompeo, Jane Seymour and Ken Jeong, who is also a true MD.
Sterling K. Brown, Lana Condor, Jennifer Hudson, Dale Jarrett, Joe Jonas, Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Joel McHale, Kumail Nanjiani and Amanda Seyfried will also appear.
