    Jack Nicholson gave his support to the Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief telethon on January 22, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Jack was there amongst many other stars, e.g. George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Mel Gibson, Mark Wahlberg, Justin Timberlake etc.

    Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief was a charity telethon held on January 22, 2010 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (January 23, 2010 from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. UTC). The telethon was the most widely distributed telethon in history. The event was broadcast from Studio 36 at the CBS Television City, Los Angeles, from the Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, New York and from the private club The Hospital in London. There were also live reports from Haiti.

    Creation of the telethon was announced by MTV Networks in the United States on January 15, 2010, three days after the 2010 Haiti earthquake struck on January 12 and claimed the lives of at least 70,000 people. The event was one of a number of humanitarian responses to the earthquake. Processing of the telethon's donations was in the hands of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

    Funds raised by the telethon and from the sale of its album and video – immediately made available for pre-order on iTunes – are to be distributed to seven non-profit organizations doing relief work in Haiti.
    On January 23, it was reported that the telethon had raised over US$ 57 million, not including corporate and large private donors or sales of the album and video. The amount is a record for donations by the general public to a telethon for disaster-relief.

    If you still want to donate, you can do so on the official website for this benefit: hopeforhaitinow.org

Hi Jack Nicholson, If I could have only one wish before I die, it would be to simply meet you. I havent had a smile on my face for quite a while. And meeting you would put a smile back on my face for quite some time. Well, anyway, you are the best actor on film ever. Have a good day. smile
