Comedy Central has once again joined forces with Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions for its fourth biennial special event, "Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs." Taping on Saturday, October 13, 2012, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, the benefit will feature Jon Stewart hosting an evening filled with live performances, sketches and short films from a roster of comedy and celebrity all-stars.

In 2010, one fan paid $20,000 to have Chris Rock call her ex-boyfriend Jeff, and tell him off.  That money, plus all other money raised went to benefit a variety of autism programs across the country in support of the overabundance of individuals with autism that so desperately need quality services.
