Our friends at Comedy Central worked the red carpet at the New York Comedy Festival’s Stand-Up For Heroes event, eschewing traditional celebrity reporting to play a game of “Would You Rather?” with Dan Rather, taunt Brian Williams about his newscaster rivalry with Jon Stewart, and temporarily fluster comedian Lisa Lampanelli, otherwise known as the Queen of Mean.

If you live in New York and want to check out some festival offerings, Tracy Morgan plays Carnegie Hall tonight, and Bill Maher closes out the festival on Sunday at Lincoln Center; you can also catch Andy Sandberg that same evening at Town Hall.
