Fox is re-airing the 2024 television special The Real Full Monty to celebrate the memory of James Van Der Beek and to raise awareness for cancer.
The special, featuring six male celebs stripping on TV, originally served as an evening to raise awareness for prostate, testicular and colorectal cancer testing and research.
Anthony Anderson executive produced the special and is one of the six stars stripping down. He recruited five more guys to join him.
“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked! That’s the message behind The Real Full Monty special,” Anthony said in a statement. “I am honored to lead the charge of rallying these fearless men to bare it all, in order to provoke, inspire and in this case, beg you to get screened for cancer. That’s our goal…so what are you waiting for!?”
Anthony will lead the men “as they train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance, choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, where they will bare all in front of a live audience. Leading up to the final disrobing, the men will push their limits of comfortability, modesty and brotherhood with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and strengthen their bond as a group. Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.”
Fox is airing the two-hour special again at 8/7c on Wednesday (February 18).
