Ross will also perform at the event, as will fellow comedians Whitney Cummings, Alex Edelman, Chris Hardwick and Jim Jefferies.

Saget spearheaded Cool Comedy • Hot Cuisine for 30 years. The event has raised more than $30 million for the Scleroderma Research Foundation. The beloved TV star died in January 2022 at age 65, from blunt head trauma, most likely caused by a fall. In 2023, on the one-year anniversary of Saget’s death, Mayer wrote a fond tribute on Instagram, capped by “I loved that guy, and I always will.”

Mayer is a seven-time Grammy winner, including song of the year for “Daughters” in 2005 and best pop vocal album for Continuum in 2007. He has topped the Billboard 200 three times, with Heavier Things (2003), Battle Studies (2009) and Born and Raised (2012), and has notched seven top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.

Ross won a Primetime Emmy in 2018 as an executive producer of Conan Without Borders, starring Conan O’Brien. He was nominated for two more Primetime Emmys this year – as executive producer of Conan O’Brien Must Go and The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.
