HBO and concert promotion company AEG Live have lined up Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld to headline its fall Comedy Festival, which is presented by HBO and sponsored by co-owned TBS.
The third annual four-day comedy event will be held November 14-17 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The two comedians have more than a nodding acquaintance with the event since they were each the recipients of the festival's coveted Comedian Award over the years.
The festival includes tributes, stand-up and sketch comedy spread out over various venues.
