James Corden, Tiffany Haddish, Kumail Nanjiani, Sarah Silverman, Nick Kroll, Sacha Baron Cohen, Michelle Wolf, John Mulaney, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Che, The Muppets, rapper Post Malone, Craig Robinson and The Nasty Delicious will be taking part.

The annual event will be taped on Saturday at the Hollywood Palladium, and air in April. It is the first time in its six-year history that the benefit has been televised.

Rogen runs the fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease with his wife Lauren, who said: ‘Our goal is to educate a younger audience and ultimately create the next generation of advocates for the cause. 

‘I am so thrilled to be able to share this year’s show with an even larger audience through our partnership with Netflix and are proud to have them as a partner.
