A late night supergroup joined Abbey Romeo, star of Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum , on stage at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Backed by Jon Stewart on drums, Jimmy Kimmel on bass clarinet, and Conan O’Brien on guitar, Romeo covered White Stripes songs as part of the celebrity fundraiser “Night of Too Many Stars,” including “Seven Nation Army” and “We’re Going to Be Friends.”

As seen in the footage that surfaced online, the feel-good moment saw Romeo having the time of her life at the Netflix Is a Joke festival event, which raised money for NEXT for AUTISM , a national organization providing programs and support for people living with autism. O’Brien had a huge grin on his face, too, and Stewart held the beat steady while Kimmel paid tribute to his late friend and Jimmy Kimmel Live house band leader Cleto Escobedo — who passed away in November 2025. Watch the clips below.

Romeo has appeared in all four seasons of Love on the Spectrum , a reality show about adults with autism looking for romance. She has been making music since 2016, and last year appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to perform her song “Boyfriend Forever,” which she had debuted on Season 3 of Love on the Spectrum .
