VOMO is here to make sure you don't have FOMO on election day.

ABC has announced it will air a new, nonpartisan comedy special called VOMO: Vote or Miss Out featuring A-list celebrities raising awareness about the upcoming presidential election.

Hosted by Kevin Hart, the one-hour VOMO event — created by media company ATTN in partnership with the non-profit organization When We All Vote — will encourage electoral participation via appearances from celebrities and political figures from both sides of the aisle, including Will Ferrell, Scarlett Johansson, Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, Jon Hamm, Ann Romney, Arnold Scwarzenegger, Tim Allen, Jay Leno, Tiffany Haddish, 2 Chainz, and more.

Participants are scheduled to perform comedy bits, stand-up acts, and a large musical performance between sharing information on voting and procedural changes caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Other celebrity guests include Lil Baby, Cristela Alonzo, Whitney Cummings, Kaia Gerber, Charlamagne Tha God, Liza Koshy, Jaden Smith, and Willow Smith.

"We have a societal responsibility to participate in our country’s democracy," said Tom Werner, who also co-created the special with Sara Gilbert through their sara + tom production company. “This nonpartisan special will, through comedy, encourage people to vote this November.”

T-Mobile will present the one-hour VOMO: Vote or Miss Out special Monday, Sept. 14 at 10:00 p.m ET on ABC.
