I was wondering why Fox didn't take part in the broadcast, but remembered they don't really have a face to put there (this thing really was as much about hype for your top news anchor, than it was for the actual cause).
So the Homer thing was a way of being involved without being involved.
: It's Homer Simpson--as you've never seen him before.
: Homer will be screened for colon cancer as part of the "Stand Up to Cancer" fundraiser airing Friday on ABC, CBS and NBC, according to the New York Post.
: In the special animated segment, Marge and a doctor look at the test "results" on a TV monitor and make a surprising discovery, according to the Post.
: Again, it's Homer as you've never seen him before.
