The Living Room Concert for America raised a ton of money to support Feeding America and First Responders Children’s Foundation.

According to Variety, showrunners are reporting that the one-hour special event that aired this weekend raised over $8 million dollars for the organizations. “I wouldn’t have guessed ten days ago that we’d be putting on a concert in primetime with no planning and no notice and pulled it off that way,” Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier shared with the site. “This is a moment where bringing people together, if we can do it, is really important.” Elton John, who hosted the event, wasn’t the first choice to do so – an unnamed comedian almost was.
