Will tell jokes for food
Well, the Tonight Show may be leaving town in a couple years, but all is not lost for fans of a good monologue. Sure, he's not as well known as Jay Leno, but Will Rogers can tell a good story. On Dec. 6, the veteran journalist will put on a one man show at the Colony Theatre in Burbank. All proceeds from the show will go to the Burbank Temporary Aid Center, a food bank for the poor.
In a press release on his Web site, Rogers explained why it's a charity show:
“Face it,” Rogers said. “A lot of people who might otherwise be interested would never buy a ticket if they thought there’s a chance the cash they’ve worked hard to amass through city redevelopment projects and rampant cronyism could ever make its way to me.”
