The show will mark the fifth anniversary of Joining Forces and the 75th anniversary of the USO, a military service organization. Joining Forces is the nationwide initiative launched by Michelle Obama and Jill Biden in 2011 to support military families.
Filmmaker Apatow is headlining next Thursday’s event at the Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
The former host of ‘The Late Show’ David Letterman and former ‘The Daily Show’ host Jon Stewart are expected to perform along with comedian Judd Apatow.
