The Creative Coalition: This Ain't Your Average Talk Show
A talk show unlike any other, this special event brings cancer patients and their favorite stars together to support the arts. With celebrities Rosie O'Donnell, Tim Daly, Edie Falco, Carrie Ann Inaba, Sarah Paulson, Bob Saget, Aisha Tyler and more!
Step aside, late-night hosts, because your favorite celebrities are about to be guests on an all-new type of talk show — and all for a good cause.
Stars like Sarah Paulson, Jim Gaffigan, Rosie O’Donnell and more are stepping into the hot seat to chat with cancer patients for a one-night-only charity event benefiting The Creative Coalition.
The nonprofit’s event, titled The Creative Coalition Fantasy Talk Show Special, will stream exclusively on PEOPLE.com, PeopleTV, and PEOPLE’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages on Thursday at 5 p.m.PT/8 p.m. ET.
Paulson, Gaffigan, O’Donnell, Tim Daly, Edie Falco, Zachary Levi, Bob Saget, Iliza Shlesinger and Aisha Tyler will sit down with patients living with glioblastoma, a rare brain cancer, for a series of candid conversations.
Paulson, for example, will chat with patient Kathleen Straub-Jones on The Kate the Great Show, spilling plenty of details on how she got into acting, her career regrets and what’s next for the star.
