A weekly, live-streamed YouTube talk show to raise money for The Actors Fund’s COVID-19 emergency financial assistance and services program launches on April 1, hosted by Emily Hampshire of “Schitt’s Creek” fame. Entitled “Humpday With Hampshire,” the show will feature the actress interviewing celebrities (to be announced) “in their natural habitats—be it their bedrooms, kitchens, garages or closets.” Each will share advice on how to get through this unprecedented crisis. Show segments will include quarantine-themed games with titles like “Show Us Your Junk (Drawer)”, “What Is Your quarROUTINE” and “Phone a Friend Roulette.”
“I couldn’t ask for a better creative distraction than hosting a show that not only helps raise money for an important cause, but also lets me connect with a dream team roster of guests without having to leave my apartment or even put on pants!” Hampshire said. “There’s such an insane amount of stress in the world right now, and if we can do something a little fun for all the stir-crazy people out there and help the industry, that means everything to me.”
