It’s a beloved tradition, and despite the pandemic, this year’s event will take place as scheduled — albeit in the form of a livestream. Longtime event host Jon Stewart will return to emcee this year’s edition of Stand Up for Heroes. Throughout the night, he will be joined by a string of comedians and musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Tiffany Haddish, Brad Paisley, Patti Scialfa, and Iliza Shlesinger.

Saturday Night Live Audience Members Are Being Paid to Attend
Saturday Night Live tickets are traditionally hard to come by, but these days the TV show is literally paying people to sit in the crowd.
