Highlights from past Night of Too Many Stars ...
How It Started
NOTMS was created by longtime SNL and Conan O’Brien writer/producer Robert Smigel and his wife Michelle Smigel, a NEXT for AUTISM board co-chair, who struggled to find effective education for their autistic son, Daniel (pictured).
Over the past 20 years, the Smigel’s extended comedy family, including NEXT board member Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, and Adam Sandler, as well as a dedicated group of sponsors who bring NOTMS to life and support this important work.
The spirit of NOTMS embodies joy and hope, making it the perfect vehicle for funding organizations that have a positive impact on thousands of autistic adults nationwide.
