Stars to Perform at Benefit for Storm Victims

NBC will broadcast a star-studded concert Friday night to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The network said in an announcement Thursday said the benefit telethon -- airing live at 8 p.m. EST and tape delayed in other areas -- will be hosted by Matt Lauer. The money raised will be donated to the American Red Cross for the organization's ongoing relief efforts following the storm.
