On Friday, Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen hosted Hilarity For Charity’s Totally Magical Prom Night. Held at the historic Hollywood Palladium, the third annual event raised more than $900,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association.
Hilarity For Charity was created by the couple to inspire change and heighten awareness of Alzheimer’s disease among the millennial generation.
“My experience with prom was fine. I spent most of the night avoiding my date’s attempts to make out with me,” Miller Rogen joked. “And while that was fun, it certainly wasn’t the prom night I’d always dreamed of. But tonight, tonight is the prom night of my dreams! And that’s because of you [the audience]. So, thank you! And to my incredible husband – for the powerful speech you gave to the absent Senate to the support you give me and my family every day – I never thought I’d be so lucky.” She added, “My mom, Adele, would have loved tonight. She and I would have gone shopping for a dress together. But, unfortunately she’s not here tonight. She’s at home, 63-years-old and 8 years into her diagnosis with early onset Alzheimer’s. I know that tonight is a night for laughter, but just for a moment, I’d like to remind you why we are here.”
Along with The Rogens, Craig Robinson and The Nasty Delicious, Sarah Silverman, Bill Burr, Weird Al, David and Leeman, Kumail Nanjiani, Judd Apatow, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bell Biv DeVoe, Taylor Lautner, Michael Sheen, Rob Lowe, Maria Shriver, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Marcia Gay Harden, Camryn Manheim, Ben Feldman, Randall Park and Josh Peck all took the stage.
