unprecedented television tonight

[mellowtigger]

I just got the news at work.  This special television event is for tonight, 2021 September 22 Wednesday.

There are 7 USA shows taking part in "Climate Night" tonight.  Your favorite entertainment host might be in the mix.

"Pretty clearly, the planet is a mess. And while the climate crisis is no laughing matter, humor might be a last-ditch way to hammer home the message to a broad audience about just how serious a problem we’re facing.  That’s the idea behind a rare collaboration Wednesday night, when late-night talk show comics will take up the increasingly grim subject on their shows, which audiences usually come to expecting entertainment — not dire warnings about the planet."

' "Climate Night" takes place during Climate Week NYC, a weeklong summit of global leaders and climate activists promoting actionable solutions to address the climate crisis.  "Climate Night" was created by former "Daily Show" and "Patriot Act" showrunner Steve Bodow.  "Climate change has gone very fast from 'probably the future,' to 'actually, right now' -- which means we all need to be talking and thinking about it much more," Bodow said. "Late-night hosts reflect our national conversation even more than Russian Twitter bots set it -- so this incredible group of shows coming together makes a statement about the scale and urgency of the world's hottest problem."

In addition, a scientist with The Nature Conservancy will be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's show.  Watch it or tape it.  I'll be glued to the screen for this special event.  :)  You already know that climate change is my #1 priority.
