The stars of CBS' popular sitcom “Yes, Dear” are wearing Bands For Freedom silicone wristbands in support of the U.S. troops. Celebrity endorsements continue to roll in for the men and women in unifor
April 26, 2005 (Press Release) --
When Anthony Clark and Mike O’Malley of CBS’ popular sitcom “Yes, Dear” heard of the Bands For Freedom Foundation’s efforts to support U.S. troops, they added their support to Bands For Freedom and its Hero’s Page, an online list of celebrity supporters for the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRT) and the men and women of the U.S. military.
Clark, who plays the neurotic Greg Warner in “Yes, Dear,” has been a major part of the recent show’s success. A previous “College Entertainer of the Year,” he is a successful comedian whose former comedic performance led him to star in NBC’s “Boston Common.” He also appeared in the blockbuster action film, “The Rock” and is an ardent supporter of the U.S. troops.
O’Malley acts the part of Jimmy Hughes, Greg’s baseball cap-wearing, blue-collar brother-in-law. Former host and producer of the Mike O’Malley Show, he has also appeared in several popular ESPN commercials as Rick, the overzealous Boston sports fan. O’Malley, who himself has written and produced several plays, recently played the part of Oliver in “28 Days” with Sandra Bullock.
“Yes, Dear,” which TelevisionWeek praised for “taking chances” as it launched its fifth year, has become CBS’ top performer on Monday nights. The show’s success comes largely as a result of the conflicting parenting styles employed by Clark and O’Malley.
Other television and movie star supporters who have voiced their support for the U.S. troops and the AFRT by wearing Bands For Freedom silicone wristbands include Audrey from NBC’s the “Apprentice 3;” Ernie Hudson, most recently seen in “Miss Congeniality 2;” Michael Keaton, star of “White Noise” and “First Daughter;” Kimberley Locke of “American Idol” fame and Christina Milian, who recently performed in the comedy hit “Be Cool.” These celebrities and many more can be seen wearing the Bands For Freedom silicone wristbands on the Hero’s Page Web site at http://www.bandsforfreedom.com/en/heroes.php.
The wristbands come in both youth and adult sizes and can be purchased at www.bandsforfreedom.com. Bands For Freedom wristbands are similar to those made popular by the Lance Armstrong Wear Yellow Live Strong Foundation. The new Bands For Freedom wristbands were created to bolster support for the war on terror and U.S. troops who sacrifice for freedom.
