Breakdown
Bob Saget hosted and was honored at a very special event on the 30th Anniversary of the SRF with cuisine by Top Chefs Susan Feniger & Mary Sue Milliken, and appearances by: Zach Galifianakis, who came in with his trademark deadpan humor before Bill Burr took the stage to rant, leaving Ray Romano to rev up the audience and musical guests Counting Crows closed the night.
“To be honored is a little embarrassing. ‘Bob, we’re honoring you but can you also host it and co-produce it, do you mind?’ ‘Comedy is how you deal with something this painful.’” - Bob
The night started off with tearful remarks from host and honoree Saget and Bob Smith, who both eulogized their loved ones whose lives were taken by scleroderma. Jodie Sweetin, Ryan Gosling, Norman Lear, Ben Feldman, Bob Newhart and Flea were also in attendance. The event raised almost $1.5 million that went directly to research for scleroderma through the SRF.
