The popular live comedy show Celebrity Autobiography, in which performers read excerpts from popular celebrity tell-all books, is heading to Broadway with a bunch of big names attached. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show — which was created by writer/performer Eugene Pack and co-developed with Dayle Reyfel — will have a four-week run at the Marquis Theater in New York every Monday night from November 26 through December 17. The show will feature stars like Saturday Night Live cast member Cecily Strong and alum Rachel Dratch, Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski, and SNL’s resident Trump impressionist Alec Baldwin, who was arrested over a parking-spot fight last week, just days before ABC decided to pull his new series, The Alec Baldwin Show, from its Sunday night time slot.
