Kareem Abdul Jabbar, a known Muslim, was on hand as a special guest to take part in a skit between Colbert and Stewart. The two (Colbert and Stewart) were discussing how Muslims are not generally bad people.
Jon Stewart, in response to a comment made by Stephen Colbert told him, “there are plenty of Muslim people that are not bad and that you would like.”
Then Kareem Abdul Jabbar proceeded to enter onto the stage to a loud applause and laughs from the crowd.
Comedian Father Guido Sarducci, and Sam Waterston were also on hand to perform today.
The Rally to Restore Sanity appears to have been a success.
