Larry David, Amy Schumer and Susie Essman have joined Michelle Obama and ATTN:’s “VOMO: Vote of Miss Out” election comedy special, which airs Sept. 14 on ABC. Other entertainers include Chris Rock, Usher and JB Smoove, with appearances by Scarlett Johansson, Tiffany Haddish, Jay Leno, Will Ferrell, Tim Allen and Whitney Cummings. Kevin Hart is the host. 

“We have a societal responsibility to participate in our country’s democracy,” producer Tom Werner said. “This nonpartisan special will, through comedy, encourage people to vote this November.”

Added ATTN: co-founder Matthew Segal, “Voter participation is in ATTN:’s DNA, and we hope that we can create an event that will speak to all generations, young and old, in a way that shows them that by engaging in the political process, we have an exceptional opportunity to have our voices and values reflected at every level of government.”
