Allen noted that the last year has been especially tough for the nation, and explained why the event will be online-only, even when people would like to celebrate in person. “We have witnessed countless heroes this past year step up to the frontlines and serve their fellow Americans,” said Allen, “so we are telling their stories, spreading their collective light, and celebrating the best of our country and its people with this prime-time program. Our first priority is safety — so while many of us will be watching safely from our homes, we are creating real moments of connection that highlight a new inclusive American era of leadership that works for and represents all Americans.”
Several performers are slated to appear, including Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez, Jon Bon Jovi, and Justin Timberlake. The special will have an optimistic tone, and NME reports that it will “… celebrate the beginning of a new national journey toward an America united.”
