These are the brave men and women who have been working on the frontlines of the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
The special, which was hosted by Harry Connick Jr. and his 24-year-old daughter, Georgia, showed celebs surprising essential workers with one-on-one video calls.
Even Brad Pitt surprised sanitation worker, Darnell Rudolph, with a video call.
"We so appreciate you being on the frontlines, what you've given and what you're doing to keep us safe and keep us moving forward," the actor said.
Jennifer Lopez has been raising money towards coronavirus relief efforts since the very start of the pandemic.
Back in April, she joined her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs for his online Dance-a-Thon coronavirus fundraiser.
She was joined by other A-list celebrities, such as from Barbra Streisand and Mariah Carey.
Some celebs performed and some asked for donations to help relief and recovery efforts.
It was recently announced that she and fiancé Alex Rodriguez postponed their summer wedding in Italy indefinitely.
"They have been struggling for weeks over this decision, but with no return to normalcy in the near future, the couple felt postponing the wedding was the safest and smartest choice," a source told E! News.
She's been an emergency room nurse at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan for nine years.
Since the pandemic started, she's bravely been on the frontlines.
“We are so grateful for everything that you do,” Lopez said to Toben after she sneakily joined the call.
“Thank you so much.”
She even told Jennifer that the last time she "went out and had any socialization" was for the Super Bowl.
This, of course, is where Lopez and Shakira performed during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“But thank you for that because it’s really inspirational.”
But JLo wasn't going to take the spotlight off of Toben or any of the other essential healthcare workers.
"And again, like, thinking about what you have to go through every day—I was listening to what you were saying as [was] I was sneakily waiting to say hello."
"About, you know, you can't save everybody and how hard that must be and that kind of reality setting in and it just reminded me too of how difficult this time is and how challenging it's been."
While Jennifer's concert was the last one Toben saw before the pandemic started, it will also be the first one she sees after it...
Kotb and Guthrie joked they wanted to crash the party, too, because, of course.
"Cassidy, we just invited ourselves!" Guthrie said.
