Transcript
00:00Tom Hanks is set to host a primetime special to cap off Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's
00:05inauguration celebrations. The special Celebrating America will be hosted by Hanks and will air from
00:128.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Inauguration Day, January 20th, and will air across participating networks
00:18such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC, as well as being online. The special will feature appearances

00:39a collaboration he wrote during lockdown with Clemens to, quote,
00:42encourage everyone to stay hopeful and to keep working towards a better future.
00:47The special, which the Presidential Inauguration Committee says is the capstone to the day's
00:51events, was developed in part because the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing many traditional
00:56inauguration events, such as live concerts and the inaugural parade, to be canceled. As a result,
01:02the organization is finding other ways to engage with Americans on the big day.
01:06The PIC is also continuing to fundraise for the event, including hosting a panel with cast members
01:11from Scandal, The West Wing, and Designated Survivor later this week. For more on this story,
