Rosie O’Donnell to appear on Comedy Central Sunday

by Winnie McCarthy

autism-speaks1.jpgRosie O’Donnell will appear on Comedy Central’s “Night of Too Many Stars,” a live broadcast on Sunday April 13th at 8:00pm central on Comedy Central. The special, hosted by The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, is a benefit for autism awareness. The special jokingly bills itself as “an overbooked concert for autism awareness.” Viewers are encouraged to donate and money raised goes to the New York Center for Autism, as well as Autism Speaks which is an organization “dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention and treatments for autism.” The organization raises awareness for autism and urges private and government action to address the issue.

Rosie has revealed several times in the past that autism awareness is an issue very close to her, even lobbying to get an entire episode of The View designated to the topic of autism. On her blog she has mentioned that she has friends whose children have autism, which in addition to her overall desire to help the causes of children, fuels her fight for this cause. At one point she also expressed an interest in doing a week-long set of specials on autism with Jenny McCarthy, but so far this has not come into fruition.

In addition to Rosie O’Donnell, other performers scheduled to appear are Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Susie Essman, Will Ferrell, Conan O’Brien, and Tina Fey. For the full list of scheduled performers or to donate to this worthy cause visit the Night of Too Many Stars website.

Thanks to Stacee for the heads up about this event!
