About ‘Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music and Laughter’

“Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music and Laughter” is one of the biggest birthday bashes you’ll ever see, as Hollywood gathers to celebrate one of its own. Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Kimmel, Amy Poehler, and Octavia Spencer are all set to appear and celebrate the iconic television pioneer. Honoring the life and unmatchable legacy of the remarkable storyteller, activist, and philanthropist Norman Lear, this one-night-only celebration features intimate conversations, special performances, and surprise reunions that pay tribute to the man behind some of television’s most beloved classic shows in celebration of his 100th birthday.

Lear began his career in TV in the 1950s and has not stopped innovating for a moment since. Still working in the industry today, Lear served as executive producer to the critically acclaimed reimagining of “One Day at a Time,” which ran for four seasons and was the first Netflix series to be renewed for network television (PopTV and CBS).

“I’ve always believed music and laughter have added time to my life. I’ve seen a lot throughout my 100 years, but I would’ve never imagined America having a front-row seat to my birthday celebration,” said Lear.
