Celebrating a century of talent: ABC highlights TV legend Norman Lear with all-star special '100 Years of Music and Laughter.'

"I am going to be as surprised and pleased--or offended--as anybody." TV icon Norman Lear is getting the all-star treatment from his A-list friends to celebrate his 100th birthday.

"You know, we were very much instructed that this is a TV show first and a party second. So it's a hard line to walk and I think we've done a really nice job of bringing, you know, the reunions together as well as, you know, some of the people that are currently in Norman's life and some of those who are just collaborators and fans," said executive producer Brent Miller.

"I don't know that anyone who's working with a 100-year-old old man could ever dream of retiring," said Miller.
