Star Wars' J.J. Abrams & Chewbacca Take the #TwizzlerChallenge
April is Autism Awareness month and to help raise awareness, there’s a group called “New York Collaborates for Autism” that started the "Twizzler Challenge." It’s kind of like the ice bucket challenge for ALS awareness. Jimmy took the Twizzler Challenge with Rihanna and then challenged J.J. Abrams, the director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to take it with Chewbacca – and lo and behold – they took him up on that.
The New York Collaborates for Autism (NYCA) Twizzler Challenge raises funds to support autism schools, programs and services across the country. For info on NYCA, visit: http://www.nyc4a.org#TwizzlerChallenge.

It all started with Jimmy Kimmel kicking off the challenge with Rihanna.
