Montclair Film today announced the full cast for Stephen Colbert’s LOST PILOT PROJECT: SOMETIMES LIVE reading event, premiering online for one night only, Sunday, October 25, at 7:30 PM, as part of the festival’s Storyteller Series, presented by Audible.

The all-star cast joining Stephen Colbert for this reading are Scott Adsit, Dana Carvey, Sheryl Crow, Ariel Dumas, Jackie Hoffman, Keegan-Michael Key, Suzy Nakamura, Bob Odenkirk, Robert Smigel, Dino Stamatopolous, and Mike Stoyanov. 

In 1998, in between creating STRANGERS WITH CANDY and working as a correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW, Stephen Colbert co-wrote a pilot for ABC called SOMETIMES LIVE, an hour-long comedy set behind the scenes at a fictional variety show.  It never saw the light of day, and maybe should have stayed that way, but after 22 years of sitting in a drawer, Stephen and some very special guests will perform the script for one night only because anything goes in 2020!

“We are incredibly grateful to Stephen Colbert and this brilliant cast for their generosity in creating a very special event in support of our organization,” said Montclair Film Executive Director Tom Hall. “We look forward to sharing this hilarious performance with the world and are delighted we could host such a wonderful program as the closing event of the 2020 Montclair Film Festival.”

This special event will close the 2020 Montclair Film Festival, and all proceeds will benefit the film and education programs of Montclair Film, a year-round film and arts non-profit. Tickets begin at $10 for Montclair Film members, $12 for the general public. To become a member or purchase tickets, please visit montclairfilm.org.
