WELCOME TO HOMEFEST.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME ON WHAT IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE
STRANGEST SPECIALS I'M EVER LIKELY TO MAKE.
AND BROADCASTING TO YOU RIGHT NOW FROM MY GARAGE AT HOME, I
CAN CAT GORICALLY SAY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER DONE
WORK IN MY GARAGE AND I'M HERE ON MY OWN WITH JUST THESE THREE
CAMERAS.
I CAN SHOW YOU MY VIEW HERE, THIS IS WHAT I CAN SEE.
WE PUSHED EVERYTHING OUT.
ST ALL BEHIND THAT CURTAIN AND NOW IT IS JUST YOU AND ME FOR
THE NEXT HOUR.
PLUS SOME OF THE BIGGEST ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ARE GOING TO JOIN
US FOR THEIR MOST IND MAT PERFORMANCE THEY HAVE EVER
GIVEN.
HERE IN LOS ANGELES WE WILL GO TO THE HOME OF BILLIE EILISH
WITH HER BROTHER FINNEAS AND THEY ARE GOING TO PERFORM FOR
US.
WE WILL STAY IN LOS ANGELES AND SEE JOHN LEGEND WHO WILL PERFORM
FOR US.
WE ARE GOING TO GO TO SOUTH KOREA WHERE WE WILL CHECK IN
WITH THE BTS BOYS WHO ARE IN ISOLATION OVER THERE.
WE WILL GO TO LONDON WHERE DUA LIPA HAS A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
FOR US.
AND IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH WE WILL THEN GO TO ITALY AND GET A
PERFORMANCE FROM ANDREA BOCELLI THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS.
DAVID BLAINE IS HERE WITH SOME MAGIC.
WILL FER EL HAS SOME COMEDY AND THEY WILL BE DOING ALL OF THAT
FROM THEIR HOMES, WE JUST REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A SHOW TO TRY AND
BRING SOME JOY AND SOME MUSIC INTO YOUR HOME AT WHAT IS
WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE STRANGEST AND SCARIEST MOMENT
NSES ALL OF OUR LIVES.
WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
LET'S BE HONEST, NONE OF REALLY FLOW WHAT DAY IT IS, I'M
PITCHING FOR A SUNDAY IN MAY. BUT I DON'T KNOW, THIS IS THE
FIRST TIME IN TWO AND A HALF WEEKS, I ALSO KNOW THAT A LOT OF
OUR VIEWERS MIGHT BE WATCHING THIS SHOW ON THEIR OWN RIGHT
NOW, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS A STRANGE AND TERRIFYING TIME.
AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
TONIGHT IS ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO KEEP THEM APART.
AND IN THE TIME SINCE I HAVE MOVED TO AMERICA IN THE LAST
FIVE YEARS IT HAS REALLY FELT LIKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA HAVE
FELT SO DIVIDED AT TIMES.
THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH DIVISIVENESS.
AND IN MANY WAYS, IN THE MOST UNIQUE WAY THIS VIRUS HAS
BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER.
IT'S UNITED US IN SOMETHING.
THIS VIRUS HAS SHOWN THAT WE ARE ALL EQUAL.
WE ARE ALL SIMPLY HUMAN.
THIS VIRUS DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE IN ANYWAY.
IT HAS REMINDED US HOW OUR BEHAVIOR CAN AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE
IT HAS REMINDED US THAT WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS.
IT HAS REMINDED ME OF THE IMPORTANCE OF MY FRIENDS AND MY
FAMILY AND HOW MUCH I NEED THEM.
IT HAS REMINDED ME IF I'M HONEST, TO LIVE LIFE WITH A BIT
MORE URGENCY.
THERE ARE SO MANY SMALL THINGS THAT I HAD STARTED TO TAKE FOR
GRANTED.
AND IT IS REMINDING ME THAT WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER AND SAID AND
DONE THAT WE ALL NEED TO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY SINGLE DAY.
AND WE MAY BE BEING KEPT APART RIGHT NOW BUT THAT HASN'T
STOPPED US FROM JOINING TOGETHER.
WE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO BE TOGETHER IN THIS.
WE HAVE STARTED PLAYING SPORTS TOGETHER.
WE'RE WORKING OUT TOGETHER.
WE ARE DANCING TOGETHER.
♪ I'M IN HEAVEN.
>> James?
ISOLATION MANY OF US ARE FINDING NEW WAYS TO SOCIALIZE.
>> >> James: NEW WAYS TO PASS THE
TIME.
WHILE OTHERS ARE LEARNING FLU WAYS TO AVOID HOMESCHOOLING
THEIR CHILDREN.
NOW WE'RE ALSO HOPING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TRY AND RAISE
SOME MONEY TONIGHT.
BUT I KNOW THAT FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TIMES ARE TOUGH.
SO WE ARE SAYING ONLY IF YOU CAN.
IF YOU ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HELP, THESE ARE THE
CHARITIES WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND RAISE MONEY FOR TONIGHT.
THE FIRST IS A NON-PROFIT CDC FOUNDATION WHICH IS A CHARITY
THAT HELPS SERVE MANY OF THE NEEDS THAT ARISE DURING AN
EMERGENCY.
AND THE OTHER CHARITY IS FEED THE CHILDREN.
WHERE FOR EVERY $1 DO NATURED THEY WILL-- DONATED THEY WILL
PROVIDE $7 WORTH OF FOOD AND ESSENTIALS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE
STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW.
SO IF YOU CAN, PLEASE GIVE.
