Meanwhile, Colbert also took a moment to share a story about his father, Dr. James W. Colbert.
"Dad was an immunologist, and, when I was a child, he was the Associate Director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which Dr. Anthony Fauci now heads. And lately, I've been thinking a lot about my dad and wishing I could talk to him about what in the face of this pandemic is the right thing to do," he shared.
"For that, we have to follow our hearts. And this crisis has reminded us with urgency that we are here to be as kind as we can," he continued."Because when this is all over-and it will be over -- what we will remember is how we treated one another and I pray that when we look back on this time of trial, we can say that we faced it with determination, hope and love. But for now, stay strong, be brave.
"On behalf of myself and the thousands of Jimmys hosting tonight, we want to thank Global Citizen for making this possible," Colbert said, followed by Fallon adding,"And we want to thank everyone for joining us despite your busy schedules of home schooling and working from home." With Kimmel saying,"And thank you for brushing your teeth. You didn't need too that, but we appreciate it.
