Comedy Central's "Night Of Too Many Stars"

Post Reply New Topic

This weekend, HuffPost Comedy had the pleasure of attending Comedy Central's "Night Of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education." In conjunction with Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, Comedy Central gathers an absurd number of comedy all-stars to peform stand-up, sketch comedy, and more for charity.

The list of talent went on an on, with the likes of Lewis Black, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Sarah Silverman, Tracy Morgan, Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver and more providing the comedy for the night. Journalists such as Tom Brokaw and Soledad O'Brien also made appearances (but the Rick Sanchez jokes were kept to a minimum) and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings provided the music, along with a special treat from Tay "Chocolate Rain" Zonday later on.

We collected the best photos of the night, as well as EXCLUSIVE interviews with Tracy Morgan, Steve Carell, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black and more on the red carpet. Check them out, and don't forget to catch the show when it airs on Comedy Central on Thursday, October 21 at 9:00 PM ET/PT which will feature additional live wrap-arounds from Los Angeles and a celebrity phone bank, allowing viewers to call in donations during airtime and talk to other comedic heavyweights.



This should be good. I still remember the last one in 2008 being hilarious.

I heard that some of the proceed from this benefit go to Autism Speaks. The list of celebrities that were featured are also known supporters of Autism Speaks so I should've guess as much.

I dunno what to think of this.

Hmm...........perhaps I should've thought of that before making the topic. Damn...

And some of the money doesn't go to Autism Speaks, and some of the celebrities don't endorse it. Let's not let ideological purity rob us of public awareness - that's how Autism Speaks has wound up controlling the conversation so far...
