Will Smith the comedian? Dodgers bring support, laughs
“Please welcome three-time All-Star and World Series champion and Game 7 hero Will Smith.”
The familiar voice of Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis wasn’t announcing Smith stepping up to the plate. Instead, the catcher traded Dodger Stadium for a different kind of spotlight Thursday night at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills for Dodgers Comedy Night, part of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival benefiting the Catching Hope Foundation.
Hosted by longtime Dodgers fan and actor/comedian Ken Jeong, the annual event brought together Dodgers players, comedians and fans for a night of comedy and fundraising benefiting the local Los Angeles community. Teammates, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Teoscar Hernández, Andy Pages and more, walked the event’s signature blue carpet before the show began.
