 LAS VEGAS (AP) - Comic Relief, the celebrity-studded fundraising telethon for the homeless, is back, after an 8-year hiatus.
Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg will take the stage Saturday to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina victims, capping a weeklong Comedy Festival that began Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Comic Relief founder and President Bob Zmuda said the decision to revive the telethon came after he narrowly escaped the wrath of the 2004 Asian tsunami while vacationing in Thailand.
