She introduced First Lady Jill Biden.
“I have to say it’s humbling to have this group of incredible artists and advocates stand beside us in this election,” the First Lady said. Tickets started at $250, and ranged up to $500,000 for a package including a photo with the two presidents and a ticket to the after-party. Others on stage included Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Jack Black.
