"NBC continues a holiday tradition with its live telecast of the 73rd celebration of the world's most famous Christmas tree in "Christmas In Rockefeller Center," a star-studded two-hour special from New York. The show, broadcast on Wednesday, Nov. 30 (7-9 p.m. ET), will be hosted by Al Roker of "Today" and Megan Mullally of "Will and Grace."
The popular musical lineup for the special will include a mix of current hits and holiday favorites performed by Rod Stewart, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood, Brian Wilson, Earth Wind and Fire, the Goo Goo Dolls, Il Divo, the Brian Setzer Orchestra and Regis Philbin.
This year's show will be a fundraiser for "Toys for Tots," to help buy toys for the children affected by the hurricanes, so they can enjoy a Christmas that they may otherwise not have.
Harry Connick Jr. will be on hand to help light this year's tree with children whose lives have been disrupted by the storms in the Gulf states.
The telecast will be in high definition."
