Thanks to One, Sara Benincasa, Neil Gaiman Will Perform a Live Reading of The Cheesecake Factory Menu If $500K Is Raised for the United Nations Refugee Agency

1) This is real.
2) The idea for this did come from author/actress/comedian Sara Benincasa experiences of watching an episode of American Gods and going to Cheesecake Factory blending in her subconscious (via Eater)
3) They’ve already raised $68,707
4) Here’s Neil Gaiman performing a commencement speech in case you forgot how lovely his voice sounds.
5) Here’s the Cheesecake Factory menu in case you forgot how massive and indulgent it is.
6) They’re trying to reach the goal of $500,000 by June 20th, World Refugee Day.
7) Again, this is real.
8) Donate to this delightfully silly and great thing here on CrowdRise.

In the first of what is sure to be a strong line of remote segments for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Bee actually went to Syria (unlike her days at The Daily Show where they would often just throw up a background resembling wherever the piece was supposed to take place).

She sat down and talked to actual refugees and the people who are responsible for relocating them, which pairs well with Conan, who she leads in on Monday, and his more frequent trips to remote locales around the globe.

So, watch part 1 of The People We’re Incoherently Yelling About here.
