TV funnyman Jerry Seinfeld is planning a comedy fundraiser for victims of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The comic announced plans for the charity event which - he hopes - will raise money and spirits in the aftermath of the attacks two weeks ago. He explains, "In the Jewish religion, the basic mourning period is the seven days of Shiva. At the end of that, you're required to attempt to re-engage with the world and your life as it was - and that's where we come in." Fellow comedians Bill Cosby, Colin Quinn, Will Ferrell and George Wallace are also expected to take part in the event on October 8th at New York's Carnegie Hall. All money raised will go to the Twin Towers Fund, The New York Police And Fire Widows and The Children's Benefit Fund.
