Backstreet Boys, Blake Shelton, Taye Diggs, Stephen Colbert and Kelsea Ballerini are among the stars coming together for a Helene and Milton hurricane relief benefit set for Nov. 2 on CBS and CMT.
The one-hour special designed to raise recovery funds for those impacted by recent hurricanes in southeastern U.S. states will be hosted by Paramount Global for the disaster relief United Way Worldwide organization.
Billy Bob Thornton, Tyler Hubbard, Billy Burke, Brittney Spencer, Clay Aiken, Cedric The Entertainer, Chris Janson, Max Thieriot, Nate Burleson and Zac Brown Band are also among guests set to make an appearance during the benefit that will stream live on Paramount + with Showtime.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton are estimated to have caused around $50 billion in damage and clean-up and relief efforts continue. The TV special was taped this past weekend in Nashville.
“Paramount Global and its brands are proud to collaborate with United Way Worldwide on the United Way Benefit for Hurricane Relief in reaching audiences across the U.S. to help those impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton,” Melissa C. Potter, executive director of content for change at Paramount Global and a United Way Worldwide board of trustee, said in a statement.
The CBS and CMT special comes after stars like Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and Dolly Parton have made sizeable donations to support disaster relief efforts after hurricanes Helene and Milton had devastating impacts on Florida and North Carolina.
The United Way Benefit for Hurricane Relief was created by Byron V. Garrett, chief revenue officer at United Way Worldwide, and Paramount Global’s Potter. The special is produced by Black & Bespoke, 5X Media, Digital Cinema Collective and Berman Productions for CBS and CMT.
