Caring for Hollywood's Crews will air live on KTLA (Channel 5 in Los Angeles) on December 9, 7-9 pm PT. Yvette Nicole Brown (Disenchanted, TV's Community) and Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars, Hollywood Squares) return as hosts and serve as two of the producers for this uplifting, entertaining evening of stories, songs, and celebrities-- all to raise emergency relief funds for workers in need.
