George Clooney Leading Haiti Telethon
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, ABC, CBS, HBO, MTV, NBC, News,
When there’s a disaster of epic proportions, we can usually count on three things: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will donate a large chunk of change to the cause, Anderson Cooper will make his way to the middle of the tragedy, and George Clooney will rally the troops for a fundraiser.
To help those devastated by the earthquake in Haiti, the Up in the Air star has already immersed himself in plans for a possible celebrity-filled telethon.
The event - which will reportedly air on MTV, HBO and CBS - is tentatively scheduled for Friday, January 22.
ABC, NBC, CNN may also participate and televise the broadcast.
Jeff Gallen, the same who man produced the 9/11 fundraiser Clooney worked on (America: A Tribute to Heroes), will be involved with this project, as well.
