Scott Hamilton will skate on TV for the first time since battling a brain tumor, joining fellow Olympian and cancer survivor Dorothy Hamill for a Thanksgiving Day special intended to inspire viewers to triumph over illness.

“Kaleidoscope,” airing Nov. 26 on Fox, is intended to inspire viewers to overcome cancer. It will feature 1992 Olympic figure skating champion Kristi Yamaguchi and two-time medalist Nancy Kerrigan.

Hamill, the 1976 gold medalist, will skate to a song performed by Olivia Newton-John. Both were diagnosed with breast cancer.

The program is intended to entertain and motivate, said Scott Hamilton, winner of the 1984 Olympic gold medal and a four-time world champion. He’s battled testicular cancer and a non-cancerous brain tumor.
