Helping Hurricane Irma victims has become part of "Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief."
The special was originally targeted for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
But a note at the event's website reads that proceeds from the telethon will benefit various charities, including "the Mayor's Fund for Hurricane Harvey Relief (administered by The Greater Houston Community Foundation) through the Hand in Hand Hurricane Relief Fund managed by Comic Relief USA, with more to be announced as the needs for those affected by Hurricane Irma are evaluated."
The one-hour special will be based in Los Angeles with stages in New York, Nashville and San Antonio, where George Strait will be doing a benefit concert at the Majestic Theatre.
Lending their support through performances, appearances or taped messages will be Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Wayne Brady, Andy Cohen, Stephen Colbert, George Clooney, David Copperfield, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, Robert De Niro, Jimmy Fallon, Jamie Foxx, Selena Gomez, Amy Grant, Josh Groban, Tom Hanks, Taraji P. Henson, Nicole Kidman, Gayle King, Matt Lauer, Jay Leno, Kings of Leno, Jared Leto, Eva Longoria, Matthew McConaughey, Eric McCormack, Tim McGraw, Nicki Minaj, Tracy Morgan, Lupita Nyong'o, Norah O'Donnell, Brad Paisley, Tyler Perry, Dennis Quaid, Julia Roberts, Robin Roberts, Ray Romano, Kelly Rowland, Adam Sandler, Ryan Seacrest, Michael Strahan, Blake Shelton, Maria Shriver, Will Smith, David Spade, Gwen Stefani, David Strahan, Barbra Streisand, Justin Timberlake, Kerry Washington, Bruce Willis, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and many others.
