Hollywood star Tom Hanks, who endorsed Joe Biden’s bid for presidency, is set to host a star-studded inauguration telecast titled “Celebrating America” that most major networks will broadcast on January 20.
Major anti-Trump pop stars are lined up to perform on the TV special, which will air on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and MSNBC. They include Trump-hating stars such as Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, and Ant Clemons.
The “Celebrating America” telecast will kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET on January 20 and last for a whole tedious 90 minutes.

The details of how prominently Biden will feature in the Hollywood extravaganza remains top secret for now.
Breitbart.com reports: Tom Hanks backed Joe Biden’s campaign last year, appearing during a virtual fundraiser for the candidate in August. The two-time Oscar winner also supported Michelle Obama’s vote-by-mail push, lending his presence to an Obama-backed online voter registration drive in April that was billed as “non-partisan.”
The primetime telecast will also be seen on Amazon Prime Video as well as AT&T DIRECTV and U-verse, according to reports in multiple outlets.
The Biden-Harris Inauguration Committee announced earlier this week that the theme of the inauguration will be “America United.”
“At a time of unprecedented crisis and deep divisions, America United reflects the beginning of a new national journey that restores the soul of America, brings the country together, and creates a path to a brighter future,” the committee said.
In recent days, however, Biden has made statements and taken action that have only stoked more division.
He compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Nazi propaganda leader Joseph Goebbels and announced that the government will prioritize ethnic minority-owned small businesses in handing out coronavirus relief money.
Biden also pledged that he will work to “defeat the NRA.”
