Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Judd Apatow, Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer are among the stars set to appear in the get-out-the-vote comedy special Telethon for America, per Variety. The event will take place on Nov. 5, the night before the midterm elections.
Organized by comedian-actor Ben Gleib, Telethon For America is not looking to raise money, but to take pledges to increase voter turnout.
“The Telethon For America flips the traditional telethon on its head. Young Americans are more motivated than ever before and the Telethon For America is working to build on that momentum to make sure an even higher percentage of young people get out and vote,” Gleib said in a statement. “We are excited to reach them in a brand new way, thanks to our production partners, our performers, and the social platforms of the influencers that they listen to.”
