Jason Alexander, Billy Crudup, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Lauren Graham, Robin Williams et al. Set for Comedy Central’s Night Of Too Many Stars

An updated lineup has been announced for Comedy Central’s Night Of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education. Jon Stewart will host the event, which is scheduled for broadcast on the cable channel on Thursday, October 21.

The biennial/bi-coastal event raises funds to help ease the severe shortage of effective schools and education programs for autistic children and adults. This year’s presentation features taped segments from the Beacon Theatre in New York City with additional live wrap-arounds from Los Angeles including a celebrity phone bank which allows viewers to call in during the show to donate while speaking with additional comedic heavyweights.

During the LA live telecast, viewers can vote via texting on stunts they want to see take place with celebrities. Participants will include Jason Alexander, Mike Birbiglia, Julie Bowen, Drew Carey, Cedric the Entertainer, George Clooney, Bryan Cranston, Larry David, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Will Forte, Jeff Garlin, Lauren Graham, Tom Hanks, John Hodgman, Rob Huebel, Penn Jillette, Chris Kattan, Jimmy Kimmel, B.J. Novak, Conan O’Brien, Jim Parsons, Andy Richter, Holly Robinson Peete, Maya Rudolph, Paul Scheer, Adam Scott, Bill Simmons, David Spade, Eric Stonestreet, Betty White, Larry Wilmore and Weird Al Yankovic.

The pre-taped New York City segments will feature Lewis Black, Mayor Cory Booker, Tom Brokaw, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Billy Crudup, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Jim Gaffigan, Ricky Gervais, Temple Grandin, Tommy Hilfiger, David Letterman, Leonard Maltin, Joel McHale, Tracy Morgan, Soledad O’Brien, John Oliver, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Paul Simon, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Robin Williams and Tay Zonday.
