Los Angeles  – Chris Hardwick – Nerdist CEO, comedian, actor, TV host, producer, and podcaster – is slated to host Extraordinary: Stan Lee, a highly-anticipated live event paying homage to the world’s most iconic comic creator.  Taking place on August 22 at the Saban Theatre in Los Angeles, the once-in-a-lifetime tribute in the vein of “This is Your Life,” will bring together heavyweights of the comic book world along with a number of leading TV/film talent.

“Stan is not only a living legend who has birthed so many of our most cherished cultural icons, he is also a lovely human being whom I am proud to call my friend,” said Chris Hardwick. “I couldn’t be more proud to be involved with this tribute and look forward to an evening honoring him with thousands of fans in Los Angeles and across the country via live stream. Excelsior!” 

Celebrity guests including Michael Rooker (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead), Lou Ferrigno(The Incredible Hulk) and Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), to name a few, will be on hand to give thanks through retrospective segments highlighting different periods in Mr. Lee’s life. “ScreenJunkies” and Honest Trailers founder, Andy Signore, will also be in attendance. Others including Aisha Tyler (Archer) and writer J.D. Shapiro (Robin Hood: Men in Tights, The Guardian Project) will appear in video tributes throughout the evening, bringing to light untold stories of how Stan Lee has influenced, touched and inspired lives and creative endeavors.

“Back when I started writing, I never could have dreamed that someday these little characters I thought up would connect with so many people in so many places, let alone on the silver screen…I’m just floored,” said Mr. Lee. “I’m so lucky to have such great friends and supportive fans who continue to inspire me and have kept me going.”
