BET’s Saving Our Selves: A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort was an entertaining and poignant special

Variety

Presented by Anthony Anderson, Kelly Rowland, Terrence J and Regina Hall, the special dubbed "S.O.S." offered another chance to see artists perform unvarnished in their homes. "Although most of the videos were pre-recorded using backing tracks, the home-spun feel of the broadcast and warm-hearted sentiments made for an entertaining and poignant couple of hours that raised funds for communities of color — disproportionately affected by Covid-19," says Jeff Vasishta. ALSO: John Legend wore a quarantine afro for the special.
