LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama and a host of celebrities such as Billy Crystal, Jennifer Hudson and Lin-Manuel Miranda are part of a special aimed at raising vaccination rates against COVID- 19.
“Roll Up Your Sleeves,” which will air at 7pm EDT Sunday on NBC, will feature Matthew McConaughey interviewing Dr. Anthony Fauci to help separate the “fiction fact” about vaccines, the network said.
Biden will make a direct call to support the effort, while Obama will be joined by great basketball players Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal to bolster the role of vaccines so that Americans can regain their lives.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama will team up with Miranda, Faith Hill and Jennifer Lopez to support the shootings during the one-hour special hosted by husband and wife Russell Wilson, NFL quarterback, and actor-singer Ciara.
Other notable announcements include the comedy of Billy Crystal and Wanda Sykes and the appearances of television doctors Eric Dane, Ryan Eggold, Ellen Pompeo, Jane Seymour and Ken Jeong, who is also a true medical doctor.
Also featured will be Sterling K. Brown, Lana Condor, Jennifer Hudson, Dale Jarrett, Joe Jonas, Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Joel McHale, Kumail Nanjiani and Amanda Seyfried.
