NEXT believes that everyone deserves to live a productive and fulfilling life. For the 5.4 million autistic adults in the U.S., it can be harder to achieve this vision due to a lack of resources, ally ship, inclusion, and opportunity. The funds raised from Night of Too Many Stars will help achieve this vision by supporting initiatives that target the most needed and underserved areas: work, home, and social well-being for autistic adults. To date, NEXT has funded more than 380 projects from 170 organizations in 37 states and territories nationwide, thanks to the support of NOTMS sponsors, donors, and guests.

Night of Too Many Stars 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. Over the past 20 years, the Smigels' extended comedy family —including NEXT board member Jon Stewart and Adam Sandler, as well as a dedicated group of sponsors, bring NOTMS to life and support this important work.
