The devastation of Hurricane Sandy gave us a lot to digest this week.

And, in response, NBCUniversal and its networks—think NBC, Bravo, CNBC, E!, G4, MSNBC, Style, Syfy and USA—are teaming up to broadcast a live one-hour telethon called "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together" to benefit the victims.

The special, which airs this Friday, Nov. 2, at 8/7c, will be filmed live from 30 Rockefeller Plaza with host Matt Lauer and guests like Jimmy Fallon and Brian Williams. Plus, they'll be joined by special performances from Christina Aguilera, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and Sting.
