Sam Waterston. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Father Guido Sarducci. What do these three people have in common? Sanity!

They were just a handful of unexpected performers on Saturday at Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington, D.C. I mean, we expected to see Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and The Roots, who previously announced they would be there.
But Law and Order‘s Sam Waterston? Father Guido Sarducci, a chain-smoking priest from Saturday Night Live? Friggin’ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Not even a psychic could have predicted these guests.
Other performers included Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, a guest appearance via green screen by T.I., Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples, Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens,) and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.
Each performed for the tens of thousands of people who showed up from around the country to attend the rally.
