NRDC event in honor of Julia Lewis-Dreyfus will become a Hollywood executive rostrum: “These tales go to the moon”

Comedy and fight climate change for interesting beds Tuesday night at the Hollywood Natural Resources Board Comedy Night Fund meeting.

The event featured NRDC Board Member Julia Lewis-Dreyfus for her passionate and dedicated work in the environmental struggle and for using her public platform to vote and encourage activism. But a few booths that followed showed the city’s most powerful executives – Casey Blois, Alan Horn and the man of the moment, David Zaslav – becoming mosaics in a near-barbecue spectacle.

Before the jokes flew, Louis-Dreyfus noted in his speech: “We are receiving reports from the world’s top scientists warning us that it’s all over if we don’t act now to address the climate crisis that millions and more people are facing.” . Now experiencing it.” On the other hand, wildfires, hurricanes and drought threaten not only your livelihood, but your real life as well. So this is bad news.”

“The good news is… oh, it’s not good news,” the star laughed as she changed tack, saying that the NRDC was actually good news, “with the experience and political will to fight like hell to get us out of here. . of this.”

“Is this global environmental fight what can we win if we are doomed? “When the NRDC leads, you know we can win,” continued Louis Dreyfuss. “God, this is a great war of horrors, and being here tonight makes you a soldier in this war. So, in this moment of danger and promise, let’s keep fighting together.”

The rest of the event, which was featured on Warner Bros. in association with Discovery, it was presented with a line of star-studded comics unfolding in front of the intimate room of Hollywood’s most powerful actors.

Pete Holmes was the first comedian to take the stage on the roof of the NeueHouse and joked that “there were a bunch of thugs and scoundrels looking at my bomb for seven minutes outside on top of WeWork.” Throughout filming, he noticed the blank faces in the audience before finally pointing at Zaslav and declaring, “There’s one face I can’t help but look at and that’s yours, sir. Most likely, he is the owner of Viacom. You can put me in the face of Jesus Christ right now.”

Nicole Bayer and Tig Notaro also cracked jokes, while Chelsea Handler uploaded a video in support of Louis-Dreyfus, saying that many felt the climate crisis could not be resolved. Once again, he continues to do the impossible: an actor who was the title of not one, but three fun, perfectly crafted shows; Which gets better, bolder, braver and more adorable as the years go by. I love you.”

“I still have hope that we can reverse this climate catastrophe,” Handler added. “The world has already escaped so many existential threats: plagues, droughts, meteors, republicans.”

Leslie Jones stood by the microphone at the event and said, “This is comedians hell, comedians are dying here” and that she would curse her agents for booking a show.

“I’m destroying this entire front row, it’s a vague horizontal pleasure for me,” he promised, betting someone would have a spaceship out there when the weather broke.

Do you think they will really save the earth? “These motherfuckers are going to the moon,” Jones said as he walked in and asked several members of the audience, including executives, for astrological signs. He laughed that Blois’ sign was a “dollar sign” and called Horn “Einstein” before choosing his sign, which meant he had “a whole secret life, so he freaks out about you and the trolls in the basement” . do you have under this building? .” “.

Nick Kroll ended the show and jokingly stole all of Jones’ material, including “Insulting Hollywood’s Most Influential People”.

“You didn’t know you would pay $1.8 million to be attacked by the people who work for you,” he said. In fact, the event raised nearly $2 million for the work of the NRDC, which is focused on giving everyone access to fresh air, clean water and healthy communities.
