Follow me on:

This Thanksgiving Day, a television performance will debut of "Kaleidoscope" - a holiday variety special featuring Olympic skating champions and GRAMMY Award-winning music artists. The program is designed to recognize women and the key role they play in the battle against cancer - as patients, caregivers, and advocates. The show will feature the historic return to the ice of the legendary Scott Hamilton in his first television performance since being diagnosed with a brain tumor five years ago. Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill will skate to the music of fellow cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John and one of America's foremost music producers David Foster. Also performing are Olympic Champion Kristi Yamaguchi, two-time Olympic Medalist Nancy Kerrigan and Olympic figure skating hopefuls Johnny Weir and Rachael Flatt.

"Kaleidoscope" will be taped from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC on November 16, 2009 at 7 p.m. Tickets for the performance at Verizon Center are on sale now through Ticketmaster.com. The show will air nationally on FOX on Nov. 26, 2009 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. (EST), immediately following the FOX Thanksgiving Day football telecast.
