Taped in front of a live audience at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, the roster of performers includes music and comedy legends, beloved fan favorites, and even an EGOT.
“For me, it was just calling up my friends; the people who make me laugh, the people I think are funny,” Byron Allen, Founder and CEO of Allen Media Group (parent company of theGrio), explained in an interview. “I mean, these are just some of the greatest performers on the planet, coming together and bringing the joy.”
Those performers include musicians John Legend, Toni Braxton, Gladys Knight, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Boyz II Men. And staying true to his own well-established roots in comedy, Allen assembled a hilarious cast of comedic talent, as well. Kenan Thompson, Cedric The Entertainer, Howie Mandel, Tiffany Haddish, Gabriel Iglesias, Tommy Davidson, Roy Wood, Jr., Dane Cook, Gary Owen, Loni Love, Jon Lovitz, and Jodi Miller all take the stage for a groundbreaking and thoroughly entertaining night of television.
