Jim Carrey At The 16th Annual Backstage at the Geffen Event
22 May 2018 By Eva Ara�jo (Web correspondent)
Every year the Geffen Playhouse hosts �A benefit to bring inspiration, hope and healing through the arts to the most underserved of our community�.
This year they honored Dick Van Dyke and Lin-Manuel Miranda and many celebrities went to pay tribute to them and to many more.
The actress Aisha Tyler was the host of the event and she shared a few pictures, including of our Jim Carrey:
Jim Carrey presented the Distinction in Theater Award to Van Dyke. Jim Carrey galloped onto the stage on a make-believe horse for his tribute to Van Dyke. Confirming Van Dyke�s place in comedy history, he said, �He�s right up there with Keaton and Chaplin and � cough � Jim Carrey.� He asked the audience to close its eyes as he said Van Dyke�s name, saying �When you say someone�s name and it puts a smile on your face and opens up the light in your heart, that�s the ultimate test." Accepting the award for Distinction in Theater, Dick Van Dyke, at 92-years-old, joked about his early days as a comedian � �I was Jim Carrey.�
There also a short video that shows Jim singing one of the songs from �Marry Poppins� called �Let�s fly a kite� along with other guests.
We are very excited to see him looking so damn good.
We at JCO will keep you updated as more news come.
