Along with Perry, past participants have included Jack Black, Lewis Black, Steve Carell, Louis C.K., George Clooney, Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien, Larry David, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jim Gaffigan, Zach Galifianakis, Ricky Gervais, Tom Hanks, Jonah Hill, Kevin James, Jimmy Kimmel, Al Pacino, Katy Perry, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Seth Rogen, The Roots, Paul Rudd, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman, David Spade, Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, and many more.

Autism now affects an estimated 1 in 68 American children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls), a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years. "Night of Too Many Stars" will benefit a variety of autism education and family service programs across the country, in support of the overabundance of individuals with autism and their families who so desperately need quality services.
