Mark Hamill, Jason Alexander & More Encourage Followers To Watch The Jan. 6 Committee Hearing

On Thursday, celebrities waded into political waters as they encouraged their followers to tune in to the House committee hearing on Thursday night.

The House committee spent almost a year investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol building and the events that led up to the armed insurrection. On Thursday night at 8 PM Eastern Time, the committee will reveal what they’ve uncovered after countless witness interviews, video footage, and over 100,000 documents.

The hearing is only the first of a series that will run throughout June and will run on all major cable news networks except for Fox News. Many celebrities took to social media to encourage their followers to tune in.

"Star Wars" alum Mark Hamill, who is best known for portraying Luke Skywalker in the Disney franchise, tweeted, "I am SO ready for accountability for the violent insurrection against our government & the coup incited by Drumpf & his minions. Will YOU be watching the @January6thCmte ? ?" He included the hashtag "#MustSeeTV."

"I'll be there!" wrote one fan, who included a gif of Jason Alexander, who played George Constanza on "Seinfeld."

And speaking of Jason Alexander...

The "Seinfeld" alum posted a four-minute video on Twitter to talk about why it was important to tune in. "I am not exactly putting my finger on the comedic button," he explained, adding "We don't know the story because we haven't been privy to it."

He said that the committee "has a story to tell. A story that we haven't heard."

In the caption, he wrote, "I do believe we must hear this story. I hope you’ll be watching and listening. Thank you."

He also retweeted a comment that a follower left on his post that contained a calendar of all the dates for all of the committee hearings and how to watch.

The stand-up comedian also posted a poll earlier in the week, asking his followers, “I will be watching the Jan 6. Hearings. Will you?”

92.4% of those who responded replied, “Yes, I care what happened.” Only 7.6% of his Twitter followers replied, “No, I don’t care” out of 19,350 votes.

Although Jason Alexander wasn't able to find the comedy in the issue, comedian Steve Hofstetter definitely gave it a try. He tweeted, "FOX News not airing the January 6th hearings is like ESPN not airing the ESPY Awards."

Earlier in the week, he had tweeted, "The January 6th committee will be holding public hearings starting Thursday. How does that make you feel? GIFs only."
