Facing the diagnosis of terminal cancer, Quincy Jones has been more determined than ever to get a stand-up special done before he leaves this mortal coil, whenever that may be. 

A Kickstarter campaign started by his friends to shoot that special has gotten over $46K raised as of this post when they were only seeking just under $5K. 

This story has caught the attention of Ellen Degeneres who had Quincy on her show yesterday for several surprises including a $10,000 check from Shutterfly as well as an endorsement to HBO and Netflix brass to pick up his special to air or stream.
