Hollywood celebrities Ben Stiller, Nick Offerman, John Stamos, Ed Helms, Tiffany Haddish, Ike Barinholtz, Mark Hamill, and Rosie O’Donnell teamed up with Kathy Griffin and other stars for a three hour “Comics for Kamala” Zoomathon fundraiser, which raised over $500,000 in support of Kamala Harris’s presidential bid.
The zoom, hosted by comedian Paul Mecurio, featured a variety of guests, including Ben Stiller, Kathy Griffin, Nick Offerman, Jon Hamm, Cecily Strong, and even some politicians like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). One particular moment that went viral featured Nick Offerman giving his own rendition of Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA in which he declared former President Donald Trump and JD Vance to be “fucking weird.”
“So I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who has quit the GOP, because I can’t just abide by a man who’s tried for 34 felonies,” he sang in the song.
“And I’ll proudly stand up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists… Well, those guys are f–king weird,” he added.
Actor Nick Offerman joined Comics for Kamala and sang a song for Republicans.

Cecily Strong of Saturday Night Live focused on JD Vance.
“Vance looks like a composite of every guy who’s called you a bitch on bumble,” quipped Strong. “Vance is confusing because his rhetoric wants us to panic about immigrants but his eyeliner wants us to panic at the disco.”
“He has been such a mistake that Trump keeps calling him Eric,” Strong added

Kathy Griffin, who famously held a photograph of a bloodied severed head of Trump, also made an appearance.
Actor Ike Barinholtz (The History of the World Part II) called for people within the industry to visit a swing state and volunteer for the Harris Campaign.
