that have high blood pressure to take medications with their doctor? >> i'll say this fervently, as well. that's not the game plan. the game plan is realize that lifestyle changes is the primary way to go. all those factors that all matters. but this is critical to understand. half of americans, now, roughly, will fit into the high blood pressure category. that's an issue. the number one reason we die is high blood pressure. let's focus on a problem. especially younger people. >> why younger people? you said they would be affected the most. >> they start off with blood pressure that's borderline. and the benefits of getting ahead of this in young people are astronomical. the plaque and the damage to the arteries starts with young edge. they are big opportunities if we pay attention

how old is he? >> daniel, now, is almost 20. when we had him diagnosed, he was 1 years old. he was one of the people what had autism, who seemed like everything was on track, and had a regression. you hear that story often. >> what is interesting about this charity, it's not necessarily for research. it's about services and helping people live better lives. >> it's about programs, do scientific research or they doed a voe aid va cosey. robert and i who had connection and resources, couldn't find our son a school. an appropriate education for our son. we didn't want that to happen anymore. we indoctrinated our friends. >> robert and michelle have daniel. and there's no real schools in the city. so, they start, you know, to advocate for your own child is, i think every parent has that feeling to advocate for their own child. the walls they had to break through, with the connection they had and the finance they had. for them to say, we're going to advocate for other children, and to spread that out is what i think is so incredibly special about what they did. everything they do, the school they started wasn't appropriate for him. they worked on other services and other interventions. >> is this a tricky audience for you? you're one of the best political commentators and comedians out there. but the people that might want to donate to a charity like this are liberal and conservative. do you have to take your material down the middle for something like this? >> i think that the night -- the way the night has always gone is not so much political. the idea is to play with the auspices of a charity. because there's auctions. there's chris rock that will bra break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend for you over the phone. >> that's priceless. >> it's not a standup show, per se. there will be standups on it. my job there is not to irritate people. >> more of a game show host than a standup comedian? >> that's why we got game show host chairs. there's a pictionary set over there. >> often with autism, it's about little kids and finding the right school. and now, your son is a young man. there has to be focus on being an adult with autism. >> there has to be a large focus on it. in ten years, 500,000 individuals with autism will become adults. so many of them will be living with their families witho services. honestly, when education stops for them, at age 21 or 22, the services stop, but they continue to live. they have full lives. and it's very important that individuals with autism are considered to -- are able to live fulfilling lives. >> and there's daniel's situations. and others. everybody thinks of it like, it's like the good doctor. you have to find a way to get an individual with autism into the right field where they have, you know, savant abilities. but you know, 30% are in a very different category that might need a more intensive intervention or may need services that are more intensive. it ee's a lot. >> someone like daniel is severe. he has no language. he has a lot of self-abusive behavior. with the right services we've been able to find him, he's achieved quite a bit. and everyone deserves a fulfilling life to be able to work and be part of a community and not isolated. >> michelle is going to hate this. they showed me a video. you do, you think of a triumph as a recitarecital, something l that, that kids are judged by. they showed me a video of daniel, completing a race. just completing a race. and the look on his face when it was over, the smile that he gave, it was a majestic moment. >> i need to, while you're here, ask for your comment on something quickly. your friend and colleague, louis c.k., has been accused and admitted to lewd acts in front of women. what was it when you heard the accusations? >> stunned, i think. you give your friends the benefit of the doubt. i try to think of it in terms of, i've had friends who have compulsions and have done things gambling, drinking or drugs. and we lost some of them. some of them have died. and you find yourself at a moment of, did i miss something? could i have done more? in this situation, we all could have. you feel anger on what he did to people. comedy on its best day is not a good environment for women. but when we started 30 years ago, it was really difficult. to do it was an act of bravery in itself. the idea there was an added layer of pressure and manipulation and fear and humiliation, and not -- look. i don't want to make this like, louis was the only one in the business. it's not. it's endemic. and i imagine you walk through 30 rock. and think it's a question, we're used to being in charge. and i think if you talk to women, they're in a very difficult position. and you get mad at yourself, too, for laughing it off or mfo thinking, that didn't happen. >> that was my question. some women in the industry say, this is an open secret. >> right. >> but in this case, you said you were stunned. >> i was stunned. >> you hadn't heard that? >> i heard -- a career ago, i was doing a podcast with david axelrod. and a man in the audience asked me about it. and i hadn't heard of any of it. so, i was -- he said, what do you think about the allegations against louis c.k. and my first response was, what? joke, joke. as he kept going, i know this is serious. i know louis. he's always been a gentleman, to me. it speaks to the blindness that a man has. hey, he's a good guy. what are you talking about? digging around in it and finding that some people had done, it was hard. but we were all assured, no. but we took somebody's word for it. and maybe that's -- that's an error on our part. with drugs, we've tried interventions and maybe that's something that -- >> have you talked to louis c.k.? >> it's a reckoning in our culture. and appreciate your time and thoughtfulness about it. >> no. it's one of those things. it's another one of those endemic, systemic, complex problems that, you know, we all haven't had the urgency for. and certainly, myself included. i hope it changes. >> leave it at that. guys, good luck this weekend. >> thank you. >> for a great cause. michelle, nice to see you. >> it's good. it's a good cause. >> "night of too many stars" live saturday night on hbo. let's head back to al and a check of the weather. >> "today's weather" is brought to you by "wonder." >> good morning, everybody. thanks for being here. we're in spring, texas, right now.
