MTV to Host Haitian Relief Telethon

MTV and George Clooney have teamed up to present a telethon to rally support and raise money for Haiti. Earlier this week, the island suffered a devastating 7.0 earthquake that left the country in a state of emergency.

On Friday night, January 22, the Oscar-winning actor, along with a roster of celebrities and musicians, will appear in a bi-coastal telethon and fundraiser on all MTV Networks channels. All proceeds will go toward relief efforts in Haiti.

According to the Washington Post, "Early estimates indicate that nearly three million people - almost a third of Haiti's population - may need aid, making this one of the great humanitarian emergencies in the history of the Americas."
