Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, May 2 (UPI) -- The Comedy Central cable network Tuesday announced it is teaming up with its biggest star, Jon Stewart, for its first live special event.
Stewarts' Busboy Productions is putting together "Comedy Love Call," a live broadcast featuring a slate of top comics to raise money for Autism education and research, Comedy Central's Elizabeth Porter announced in a news release.
In addition to producing, Stewart will perform along with Adam Sandler; British comic and HBO's Ali G, Sacha Baron Cohen; Stephen Colbert, Triumph the Insult dog and many others, Porter said.
Besides raising money, the program will call attention to the severe shortage of schools and programs for autistic children and adults, she said. The Centers for Disease Control says 1 in 66 children are diagnosed as autistic.
The show will be broadcast live Oct. 15 from New York's Beacon Theater.
