Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, The Boss 'Stand Up for Heroes'

NEW YORK - Jerry Seinfeld and Jon Stewart cracked jokes, while Tony Bennett sang and Bruce Springsteen rocked at a fundraising event in New York City Wednesday for wounded members of the U.S. military and their families.

The fourth annual Stand Up for Heroes show, presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the New York Comedy Festival, was held at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre and hosted by Stewart.  The event was also streamed live online to several military bases.  Bob Woodruff is an ABC News Correspondent who spent five weeks in a coma after suffering a head injury while reporting from Iraq.

Stewart referenced Tuesday’s election results in his opening remarks, saying when he heard the benefit would be raising money for the wounded, he thought to himself, “Oh, a Democratic Party fundraiser.”  Stewart also joked the Republicans were an endangered species two years ago, but the election results showed how good Democrats are at conservation.
