NFT: HBO Autism Benefit: A Night of Too Many Stars

PaulBlakeTSU : 11/19/2017 10:11 am
Not sure if anyone caught it on HBO last night, but Jon Stewart hosts an annual benefit called A Night of Too Many Stars which raises money for autism education and awareness.

I watched it last night and it was very, very funny and raises money for an important and great cause. it's available on demand/streaming.

I know autism hits close to home for many people on this site.

There are also a lot of great prizes (with celebrities) that you can bid on here: https://www.omaze.com/stars

I nearly cried from laughing during Gilbert Gottfried's bit and thought comeidans John Mulaney and Michelle Wolf were excellent as well.

Most importantly, they had a girl with autism on stage who had an unscripted episode, further showing the important challenges that people with autism face.

It can be hard to draw straight lines in ones imagination from the funds raised to serving the uber wide variety of needs within such a super diverse umbrella as autism.

Possibly hard to get ones head around that aspect in a fundraiser. My guess is that when it's broken down into different diagnosis it will be easier to raise funds for and for outsiders to understand.
