Talkshow host Jay Leno and American Idol presenter Ryan Seacrest are to appear on Friday's Stand Up To Cancer telethon.

The TV stars will be joined by Diane Lane, Kyra Sedgwick and Marcia Cross on the hour-long telecast to raise funds for cancer research.

Other celebrities that have previously been announced as appearing include George Clooney, Lance Armstrong and Sally Field.

A previous edition of the telethon aired in 2008 and raised over $100m (£64m).

Stand Up To Cancer is to be hosted by news anchors Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric and will air across the broadcast networks.
