Tomorrow’s milestone celebration includes performances by Katie Holmes (Batman Begins), Season 2 winner Benji Schwimmer, Season 4 winner Joshua Allen and more special guests. Only ETALK is there to capture the festivities surrounding the 100th episode, including exclusive backstage access and interviews with the cast, guests and the newly minted Top 6.
