The concert — set up by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) — will be broadcast on April 18 across multiple platforms, with funds going to WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. (Here’s how to watch the event online.)

The fund, according to the latest figures from last week, has shipped personal protective equipment to 75 countries. Items include more than 800,000 surgical masks, 54,000 N95 face masks, 24,000 face shields, 873,000 gloves, 15,000 goggles, and 85,000 gowns. It has also sent 1.5 million COVID-19 diagnostic kits to 126 countries to help boost testing capacity.

The global broadcast was announced by Global Citizen co-founder and CEO Hugh Evans and Lady Gaga, who helped curate the event.

“It is so important to think globally and support the World Health Organization to curb the pandemic and prevent future outbreaks,” said Lady Gaga. “We want to highlight the gravity of this historical, unprecedented, and cultural movement.”

“As we honor and support the heroic efforts of community health workers, One World: Together At Home aims to serve as a source of unity and encouragement in the global fight to end COVID-19,” Evans said in a statement. “Through music, entertainment, and impact, the global live cast will celebrate those who risk their own health to safeguard everyone else’s.”

In addition to Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert, the event will include appearances by the characters of Sesame Street. The funds that will be raised will also support local non-governmental organizations in providing food, shelter, and health care to people in need.

There were plenty of expected names in the extended cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday, along with a few notable absences. Perhaps the most surprising addition to the cast, though, was the return of many of the original Fox X-Men from the early 2000s trilogy. Among the most notable actors returning are Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, James Marsden, Rebecca Romjin, and Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United.

In a recent interview with Jenna Bush-Hager and Olivia Munn, Cumming said that he was excited to be able to step back into the character after more than 20 years.
