Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski also took to the stage for a Rudetsky signature deconstruction of "Don’t Cry Out Loud." Krakowski sang each lyric as Fey followed with her interpretation of the meaning.
A live auction – hosted by Caroline Rhea – to have a personal performance from Darren Criss on stage at the event caused a bidding war that eventually brought in a total of $30,000 (Criss agreed to sing for each of the winners).
The four-time Tony-winning actor and writer is featured along with Michael R. Jackson, Jacquel Spivey, and more in Pride of Stage and Screen, airing on MSNBC June 26.
