Some of comedy's biggest stars joined forces Sunday night, March 8, to raise money for people with autism. Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars featured a slew of big names, including Louis C.K., Jon Stewart and Adam Sandler. A few musicians also showed up to perform. Jon Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" was highlighted by backup singers Will Forte, Gilbert Gottfried, Al Roker and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Bon Jovi hits the stage in the video below to perform an acoustic rendition of the tune. Forte, a Saturday Night Live alumnus and current star of Last Man on Earth, stands by a microphone wearing a leather jacket and glaring at the audience. The "Livin' on a Prayer" singer sounds great for a 53-year-old, but Forte hilariously ruins the performance by screaming the "wanted" echo into the mic during the chorus.
After Forte takes another stab at it, he gives the mic up to Gottfried, who is known for his obnoxious voice. His tone-deaf howl almost makes Bon Jovi break. Forte returns with Roker and, right before the group let out a powerful scream, Triumph pops up to add his vocals. Bon Jovi finishes the song with a huge smile on his face. Check it out below for a laugh or two.
Other musical performances included Maya Rudolph singing a tune about the number to call to donate and "Weird Al" Yankovic performing "Yoda" with Jodi DiPiazza, a 13-year-old pianist with autism.
Bon Jovi told People last month that he was working on new music. He confirmed that "about a dozen songs" were completed. He did not clarify whether the new music would be for a solo LP or another Bon Jovi album.
