The 4th annual event is a variety show with proceeds going towards Alzheimer’s research.
Seth Rogen, speaking to Vulture, said “The Rabbi wouldn’t do it on the actual event, so he did it last night at our friend’s house and we filmed it and we’ll show it at our fund-raiser.”
Miley Cyrus will be headlining the event.
