Star Power Ignites Children’s Mercy: A Who’s Who of Big Slick Visitors
Hold onto your hats, folks, ’cause this year’s Big Slick celebrity visit to Children’s Mercy was off the charts! We’re talking a veritable who’s who of Hollywood heavyweights, hilarious comedians, and even a musical genius or two (looking at you, “Weird Al”). These stars weren’t just there to make an appearance, though. They were all in, bringing smiles, laughter, and a whole lotta love to the kids.
Representing the world of film and television, we had Laura Morano, everyone’s favorite Disney Channel darling, bringing the sunshine. Jeff Ross, the Roastmaster General himself, was probably cracking jokes left and right, while Jo Lo Truglio from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” brought his signature brand of lovable goofiness. And let’s not forget Anthony Hill, heating things up straight from the set of “Grey’s Anatomy,” and Samm Levine, the ultimate “Freaks and Geeks” alum. Heidi Gardner was there to bring the funny, while Gaten Matarazzo and Finn Wolfhard, the dynamic duo from “Stranger Things,” probably had the kids freaking out (in a good way, of course!). And of course, no Big Slick visit would be complete without the Kansas City Kings themselves, Jason Sudeikis, Eric Stonestreet, and Paul Rudd.
Speaking of comedy royalty, the “Impractical Jokers” crew rolled in with James “Murr” Murray and Joe Gatto, ready to stir up some mischief. And holding down the fort for the comedy veterans was none other than the hilarious Rob Riggle. Last but certainly not least, “Weird Al” Yankovic was on hand to deliver some musical mayhem, while the incredibly talented Philip Bowen serenaded the crowd with his violin virtuosity. What a lineup, right?

We’re talking heartfelt conversations, playful banter that had everyone cracking up, and enough autographs to fill a hospital wing (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea!).
Imagine being a kiddo at Children’s Mercy, feeling a little down, and then BAM! Philip Bowen walks in and starts playing the most beautiful violin solo you’ve ever heard.
