George Lucas has been nominated for the Discovery Channel?s "GREATEST AMERICAN" series:
Millions of people from across the country have nominated 100 people they think should be named the Greatest American, and these nominees will be profiled as part of the four-part weekly primetime series starting Sunday, June 5 on the Discovery Channel hosted by Matt Lauer.
Visit Greatest American on AOL or www.AOL.com/GreatestAmerican to see the list of 100 nominees and to tune in Sundays in June, starting June 5th at 8:00 pm. In addition, be sure to check out www.GreatestAmericanBlog.com where you can post thoughts on who should be named the Greatest American.
The Discovery Channel is also sponsoring the Greatest American Road Tour, which started this week in Boston. The Road Tour features a Greatest American tour bus that will be making stops in cities and towns across the country as part of a grassroots campaign to let people know about the nominees for Greatest American.
At each stop, Americans will be encouraged to watch the shows in June and express their support for who they think is the Greatest American through old-fashioned Get-Out-the-Vote campaign events featuring Greatest American buttons, stickers and other giveaways. There will also be impersonators of some of the nominees and fun activities for children and families.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to write a short blog entry essay or give a video testimonial on who they think deserves to be the Greatest American. The Road Tour will be promoting the upcoming series at Discovery Channel stores and at local festivals in cities across the country including, Memphis, Kansas City, Houston, Los Angeles, Springfield, Illinois, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia.
