MIAMI -- The Univision Network announced today some of the performers who will join Don Francisco in "Unidos Por Haiti" (United for Haiti), a 4-hour live special edition of "Sabado Gigante" (Giant Saturday) dedicated to raising funds for the earthquake victims in Haiti through the American Red Cross. The special will air LIVE Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 7pm ET/PT (6pm Central) on the Univision Network and will be simulcast on Galavision Network.

In addition to the performances from the studios in Miami, "Unidos Por Haiti" will also feature live segments from various cities across the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C. and San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The special program will also be broadcast in 10 countries across Latin America.
Yesterday, Don Francisco (Mario Kreutzberger) flew to Haiti for a brief visit where he was able to witness first-hand the need and desperation of the Haitian people.

Other Univision, TeleFutura, Galavision and Univision Radio talent will also join Don Francisco for this special program and encourage viewers to donate to this worthy humanitarian cause.
This special broadcast is in addition to the previously announced extensive, multi-platform effort across Univision Communications Inc. The Univision networks are leveraging their cross-promotion capabilities to promote the fundraising campaign through public service announcements (PSA's) and special reports live from Haiti ...
“organized and co-hosted by George Clooney”
We will watch rented movies.
Gee, I am too busy tonight, I need to wash my hair. ha ha ha
I wasn’t going to watch, but now that I know Daddy Yankee is going to participate, I’m in.
“The Hope For Haiti Now Telethon will air tonight on every major U.S. television network during prime time.”
FRACK! There goes “ghost whisperer” and a bowl of popcorn. Dammit!
I was irritated to hear that Julian Lennon was turned down to help. How the hell do you TURN DOWN someone offering to help?
Good, I can finish watching 24.
Sorry but I already have plans to organize my sock and underwear drawer. Priorities, ya know.
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll find a good book.
I wonder how many stars are going to announce that they’ll
donate one million like Jolie/Pitt and Sandra Bullock?
There has been an investigation of Wyclef Jean’s charity
diverting funds for other uses.I agree I won’t give them
a nickel!
imho, Haiti was used to ignore the gaffes by Ms. Coakely. FNC, which covered her, was then accused by some to not have covered Haiti enough. But FOX did. The whole Saturday evening lineup was Haiti, which Geraldo R attacking Rush L.
The good part starts at :30 seconds.
” Gee, I am too busy tonight, I need to wash my hair. ha ha ha”
Me to. And I also have to shave my legs.
I have to say if anybody needs some Hollywierd telethon to prompt them into giving, then they are giving for the wrong reasons...
and its oh so "lucky" for the Dims that Haiti happened when it did....completely able to ignore our magnicifent Brown victory...
