The Autism Coalition's Night of Too Many Stars benefit event, held in New York City on February 27, was a HUGE success. This event has raised over $1.4 million to date for autism research and education programs and generated substantial media coverage. This event, which included a comedy show, will be broadcast this spring on NBC and was covered by Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, Regis and Kelly Live and throughout the New York print press. People magazine will run a story on the benefit in an upcoming issue.

The Autism Coalition wishes to thank the incredible lineup of comedic talent who starred in the show: Jack Black, Dana Carvey, Macaulay Culkin, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Darrell Hammond, Michael Imperioli, Lisa Kudrow, Tim Meadows, Kevin Nealon, Conan O'Brien, Lou Reed, Maya Rudolph, Adam Sandler, Molly Shannon, David Spade, and Jon Stewart. We would also like to thank the many others who volunteered their time and talent to make this benefit a smashing success. We're especially grateful to benefit co-chairs Dana Carvey, Lorne Michaels, Conan O'Brien and Adam Sandler, as well as the host of the dinner, NBC News Anchor Brian Williams. We extend a very special thank you as well to autism champions Anthony Edwards, Doug Flutie and Aidan Quinn who spoke at the dinner.

Check back with us soon to find out when The Night of Too Many Stars will be broadcast on NBC this Spring!
