Streaming live Noon to Midnight East on Tuesday October 15th from Los Angeles on Siri Dahl’s Twitch and YouTube channels, this cheeky but SFW stream will be hosted by Siri and a rotating group of friends, presented in the style of a classic Jerry Lewis telethon. It will land somewhere between USA's Up All Night, an episode of Hee Haw, and an Elvira special. The CORN TELETHON aims to combine entertainment with activism to make clear that Project 2025 is bad (of course) but also points out that many current laws that pertain to privacy, porn, and sex work already on the books are not great, and not just for sex workers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
