This Monday's show will feature two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick, "SNL" alum Rachel Dratch, two-time Emmy winner Kristen Johnston, two-time Tony winner Donna Murphy, Dayle Reyfel, Seth Rudetsky, Tony winner Claudia Shear, "SNL" stars Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig, and "Celebrity Autobiography" creator Eugene Pack.

"Celebrity Autobiography", created by Emmy nominated writer and performer Eugene Pack and co-produced/developed with Dayle Reyfel, has been a monthly event in Los Angeles that attracts celebrities as guest performers and audience members. In 2005, "Celebrity Autobiography" premiered on Bravo-TV as a one-hour comedy special (with a cast that featured Bruce Vilanch, Jay Mohr, Cheryl Hines, Kevin Nealon, Doris Roberts, Fred Willard, Julie Brown, Niecy Nash, Kel Mitchell, Laraine Newman and Andrea Martin), and received enthusiastic raves across the boards.

A portion of the proceeds of "Celebrity Autobiography" will benefit The Actors' Fund, a nationwide human services organization that helps all professionals – both performers and those behind the scenes - in performing arts and entertainment. Founded in 1882, The Fund serves those in film, theatre, television, music, opera, and dance with a broad spectrum of programs including comprehensive social services, health services, supportive and affordable housing, emergency financial assistance, employment and training services, and skilled nursing and assisted living care. Administered from offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, The Actors' Fund is a safety net, providing programs and services for those who are in need, crisis, or transition.
