NBC's upcoming streaming service Peacock has announced The At-Home Variety Show featuring Seth MacFarlane. Debuting on May 11 at 7 PM ET, the short-form comedy segments will air on both Peacock and the streamer's social handles, each episode running under ten minutes.

The specials—which anyone can watch on Peacock's social handles, including Youtube and Facebook—will also raise awareness for Feeding America, Americares and United Way, all of which are on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic. Here's what Bill McGoldrick, President of Original Content, Peacock, said in a statement:
“We are excited to stream The At-Home Variety Show on Peacock. Peacock’s launch coincides with a moment in our history when connection, community and content are more important than ever. We want to deliver fun and timely content in a way that only Peacock can, by bringing together entertainment, news and sports to support these great charities.”
