Last celebs of the Pat Sajak era…

Tony Hale: actor/producer who played Gary Walsh on “Veep” for seven seasons who was the bagman next to the president who was played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and has a limited series coming called “The Decameron” on Netflix which is about the Black Plague during the Middle Ages playing for Stand Up to Cancer which raises a ton of money for research and saves lives daily

Neil deGrasse Tyson: astrophysicist/director of the Hayden Planetarium playing for the Harlem Educational Activities Fund which is based in New York and identifies kids at risk, gives them guidance to move through high school, on to college, and enter the workforce in productive, rewarding careers

Robin Thede: actor/comedian who’s the creator and executive producer of A Black Lady Sketch Show for four seasons that has 16 Emmy nominations and a couple of wins and was named Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch a few years ago for all ten (she’s honored to be in that group with some other amazing comedians; her show and work is about supporting those who haven’t always had those chances) playing for Girls, Inc., a phenomenal charity that works with all girls to help them with mentorship, with financial literacy, education help, and everything one needs to become a well-rounded adult in society
