Has America Jumped the Shark? Hollywood TV Writers Join Forces for Special; Kelly Clarkson Show Premieres Season 2 on Sept. 21

Some of Hollywood's most creative minds are joining together for a slate of virtual programming designed for high ratings in order to raise funds in support of Field Team 6, a voter registration organization looking to register new Democrats across 12 key battleground states. Among the programming is "Has America Jumped the Shark?" which takes place Thursday, August 27, 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST on Zoom. "Has America Jumped the Shark?" has assembled a panel of renowned TV writers to completely rewrite the unrealistic script that is the Trump administration and draft its final act. Participating guest writers are Al Jean, Emmy winning writer, producer, and showrunner for The Simpsons, It's Garry Shandling's Show and The Tonight Show; David Mandel, Emmy-winning writer, producer, and showrunner for Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live; and Nell Scovell, writer, director, and author whose shows include Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Murphy Brown, Coach, Monk, Charmed, Newhart and NCIS. You can tune in here!
