Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks on 'Stand Up To Cancer'Actor Ken Jeong only gets naked for the deep films, when it's "integral" to the plot. Yeah, right. Like in 'The Hangover.' And he also strips down for his dermatologist, he explained on 'Stand Up To Cancer' (Fri., 8PM ET on BIO). Live on the fund-raising telethon, his doctor looked him over for signs of skin cancer.

Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks continued the discussion of skin-cancer screenings. The stars of 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' didn't shy away from specifics. Rogen admitted that guys can even "get skin cancer on your stones."

"In fact, you can get skin cancer anywhere you have skin," added Banks. "That's why skin self-examination is critical." Rogen opined: "Your man berries will thank you for it."

Also in the clip: Will Smith, Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe.

Ethan ZohnWith 'Survivor's' 21st season set to bow in less than a month, the show's producers have decided to shake things up a bit -- and we're not talking about the new "Medallion of Power," which host Jeff Probst says is "designed to give [tribes] power at challenges. This is something even bigger.

As it was revealed this morning on CBS' 'Early Show,' the king of all reality shows has become the first-ever television program to form a "Stand Up 2 Cancer" team that will work to raise cancer research funds.

'Survivor: Africa' winner Ethan Zohn, whose rare form of Hodgkin's disease has been in remission since April, sat down with Erica Hill to talk about the new initiative. "I'm a survivor in every sense of the word and that's why I'm so excited to be part of this movement to outwit cancer for good," Zohn said. "In my eyes, this is my 'Survivor' moment, my legacy...It's better than winning the million dollars."
