Airing across NBC, ABC, CBS and dozens of other networks and platforms on Saturday, Lady Gaga’s “One World: Together at Home” coronavirus benefit scored 20.7 million U.S. viewers, according to Nielsen.

That number does not include streaming or international viewership. In the U.S., the concert was aired by 26 networks from approximately 8 to 10 p.m. ET and tape-delayed on four others.

Lady Gaga curated the 2-hour special, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert and produced in partnership with Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO). It paid tribute to healthcare workers “performing life-saving work on the front lines” of the pandemic and raised money for the WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
