Jon Stewart will host and Kevin James, Rosie O’Donnell and Susie Essman will be among those on “Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Benefit for Autism Education” on April 13 at the Beacon Theater in New York, say the AP article.
It will air live on Comedy Central.
It’s the second such benefit and was organized in part due to Robert Smigel, whose son, Daniel, is autistic. Smigel’s most famous character, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, will also be attendance.
The first one raised $2.6 million.
Downloads will be available for $1.99 the next day via popular download sites, with the proceeds going to charity, of course.
