The Rally to Restore Sanity permit has been issued by the National Park Service and events were read aloud to the Christian Science Monitor by the NPS, as follows:
10:00 a.m.: The pre-pre-show begins with videos and music on the jumbotron to keep the gathering crowd friendly and entertained.
Noon: The pre-show starts with a performance from The Roots.
12:40: A comedian (to be determined) warms up the audience.
12:57: A video countdown with a show introduction.
1:00: The show kicks off with the national anthem by a musical guest (to be announced).
1:05: Mr. Stewart welcomes the crowd – whose projected size is ballooning daily. Currently, there are 200,000 sign-ups on the official Facebook page alone.
1:20: Mr. Colbert enters, and two actors – Don Novello and Sam Waterston – perform readings.
1:40: Jeff Tweedy and Mavis Staple perform for 10 minutes, followed by Stewart and Colbert until 2 p.m.

2:40: The show turns to a pre-taped sequence – The Sanity and Fear Awards.
To round out the three-hour production, Stewart and Colbert will make their final statements.
If you do make it to The Mall on Saturday, just remember the Golden Rule: Don't Be A Douche. ~Samantha Bee, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, 10/28/2010
