UNICEF WON'T STOP
May 9, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Various Networks, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
SPECIAL: Talk about paying it forward. In 1947, Helenka Pantaleoni co-founded UNICEF USA, and served as its president for the next 25 years. Now, in 2020, her granddaughter, actress Téa Leoni, is co-producing this special, a charity event for UNICEF first responders, scientists and others supported internationally by the organization. (The actress has been a UNICEF ambassador for almost 20 years, so this is no “new” pet cause.) Entertainment lined up for this streaming event includes one big-budget music video: the world premiere of a new Cher video, her Spanish-language rendition of the ABBA song “Chiquitita.” The rest are the now-familiar from-home intimate performances, including ones by Sheryl Crow, Sting, Rod Stewart, Peter Frampton – and a virtual reunion of Eurythmics, which means both members, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, will be reuniting, albeit from separate locations. Among the places to watch this streaming special are NBC News NOW, NBCNews.com, MSNBC.com and www.unicefwontstop.org.
