Peacock did not announce any performers beyond Jost and Che, only describing the guests as “Colin and Michael’s favorite NYC club comics, fresh faces, and maybe even some names you already know and love. Watch live to see who hits the stage. Special guest appearances will feature both up-and-coming and established comics in New York.”
A house band, the Grammy-nominated musical ensemble 1500 or Nothin’, will accompany performances throughout the special.
