MTV Presents Stand up for Sandy with Mr. Universe's Jim Gaffigan, comedian Nikki Glaser, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's Wyatt Cenac, and MORE!!

Comedy Central has once again joined forces with Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions for its fourth biennial special event, "Night of Too Many Stars: America Comes Together for Autism Programs." Taping on Saturday, October 13, 2012, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, the benefit will feature Jon Stewart hosting an evening filled with live performances, sketches and short films from a roster of comedy and celebrity all-stars.

In 2010, one fan paid $20,000 to have Chris Rock call her ex-boyfriend Jeff, and tell him off.  That money, plus all other money raised went to benefit a variety of autism programs across the country in support of the overabundance of individuals with autism that so desperately need quality services.

The Viacom Entertainment Group (Comedy Central,Spike TV, & TV Land) plus our VH1 neighbors continue to show just how much they Give A S#!t!

In July 2011, the Entertainment Group kicked off the first ever "First Day Of Cool" event with a goal of outfitting 100 kids living in shelters for their first day of school.  Employees were so motivated by this initiative that they wound up outfitting 142 children! These kids were able to start school with a new outfit, backpack, shoes, and a book along with a new sense of confidence. 

We here at Viacom are all about giving back to our community, and Hurricane Sandy has caused an immense amount of devastation in the US and abroad.  We believe that it is our duty to do what we can to create a speedy recovery and that is why Viacom has announced a donation of $1 million to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. 

Viacom will donate $500,000 to the Mayor's Fund for NYC and $500,000 to local organizations for relief and rebuilding efforts in Connecticut, Long Island, New Jersey, and Westchester County.  In addition, Viacom has set up a $1 million employee matching gift program with The American Red Cross, which will give Viacom employees the opportunity to maximize their personal contributions.

There are several ways that you can get involved in the recovery effort, check out The American Red Cross' website to find out ways you can donate and/or volunteer to the relief effort.

After a week long food drive for the Food Bank for New York City, the Viacom Entertainment Group (Comedy Central, Spike TV, & TV Land) plus our VH1 neighbors celebrated "April Foods Day" on April 1st. 

Throughout the week, employees received raffle tickets for their donations so they could register to win great prizes including gift cards to various restaurants, grocery stores, and food trucks, cooking lessons, and so much more.

Thanks to their generous donations, we were able to donate $2,300 plus 1,600 pounds of food which equals 12,738 meals for needy New York Families!

We are extremely proud of our employees hard work and kind hearts and look forward to seeing what other wonderful events they plan in the future!
