Kathleen Turner, Sean Hayes, Doris Roberts, Molly Shannon, Kevin Pollack, Joe Scarborough, Toni Senecal and celebrity chef Mario Batali will be the latest guests plucked from the audience for an on-stage improvised interview with celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick in Martin Short's Fame Becomes Me. 

Batali (Celebrity Chef) will appear on Tuesday, November 14 • 7 p.m.; Scarborough(MSNBC's "Scarborough Country") will appear on Wednesday, November 15 • 2 p.m.; Pollack (The Santa Clause 3) will appear on Wednesday, November 15 • 8:00 p.m.; Hayes ("Will & Grace") will appear on Thursday, November 16 • 8:00 p.m.; Turner (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, War of the Roses) will appear on Friday, November 17 • 8 p.m.; Senecal ("Good Day New York") will appear on Saturday, November 18 • 2 p.m.; Shannon ("Saturday Night Live") will appear on Saturday, November 18 • 8 p.m.; Roberts ("Everybody Loves Raymond") will appear on Sunday, November 19 • 3 p.m.

Since the show began performances on Broadway in July, Glick has hosted an array of A-list stars including Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Nathan Lane, Rosie O'Donnell, Conan O'Brien, Rosanne Barr, Jimmy Fallon, Regis Philbin, Al Roker, Stephen Colbert, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Miller, Kristin Chenoweth, Donny Osmond, Andrea Martin, James Belushi, Tracey Ullman, Martha Stewart, Larry King, Jerry Springer, David Hasselhoff and Bette Midler.

The show "features Short in a comic tour de force guiding us through an improbable version of his life story. Backed by a brilliant cast of top Broadway performers (who constantly steal focus from Mr. Short when he's not looking), Short's transparent play for love and attention asks the burning question, does an autobiography really have to be true?," state press materials.

Jacobs Theatre box office (239 W 45th St).  Performances are Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday at 8:00 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m.  Tickets prices are $111.25 and $56.25.  Premium seating is available.
