Bill and Melinda Gates, co-chairs of the world's largest charitable organization, will appear Wednesday evening on "American Idol." They'll be talking about their foundation's work during a segment called "Idol Gives Back."
From The Associated Press report:
Bill and Melinda Gates, supporters of the fundraiser since it launched in 2007, "have done something very special, quite incredible, this year," ("Idol" magnate Simon) Fuller said. Pressed for details, he would only advise that you must watch the broadcast.
Pumping up viewership – and donations – is Fuller's goal. "Idol Gives Back," which has raised more than $140 million, this year will benefit Children's Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More, Save the Children's U.S. programs and the United Nations Foundation.
"American Idol" airs tonight at 8 p.m. PDT on Q13 Fox. In addition to the fundraising segment, seven "Idol" contestants will compete as scheduled.
