Five celebrities have signed on to join Jennifer Lopez’s pay-it-forward Quibi series “Thanks a Million.”
From entertainment, there’s Kristen Bell, Karlie Kloss, and Tracy Morgan. From sports, there’s Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former baseball star Alex Rodriguez — the latter of whom is engaged to Lopez, who serves as executive producer.
Quibi previously announced that Lopez would be joined by nine other celebrities in the pay-it-forward series, which means four more public figures have yet to be announced.
According to Quibi’s description of the series, “In each episode, grateful public figures kickstart a chain of kindness by gifting $100,000 to an unsuspecting individual who has had a positive impact on their life. The recipient must then pay it forward by gifting half of that sum to someone else who has done the same, and the chain continues. Across ten episodes, $1,000,000 will be put in the hands of everyday people.
