NRDC’s Night of Comedy—which helps to raise funds for the organization’s mission-critical work—returned this year, and for the first time, this flagship event was hosted on both coasts: at NeueHouse Hollywood in Los Angeles, followed by a New York event at Cipriani South Street @ Casa Cipriani. Once again, Warner Bros. Discovery joined us as our Presenting Sponsor, with Seth Meyers returning to hosting duties in New York.

The L.A. event—which celebrated Trustee and climate champion Julia Louis-Dreyfus for her extraordinary commitment and service to NRDC—featured Nicole Byer, Pete Holmes, Leslie Jones, Nick Kroll, and Tig Notaro. Over in New York, we honored Honorary Trustee and Night of Comedy founder Anna Scott Carter, with a comedic lineup that included Mike Birbiglia, Michael Che, Chloe Fineman, Nick Kroll, and Hasan Minhaj.
