However, it turns out that Clay will actually be on the CNN 3-Hour hurricane help show hosted by Larry King, airing at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT on CNN tonight, as CNN confirms in this article:

Among King's guests on the 8 p.m. special will be people trying to locate loved ones missing in New Orleans.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and charity organization officials will give guidance on relief efforts.

Also on the guest list are: Marty Evans, Red Cross CEO and president; Nick MacDonald, senior program officer of Mercy Corps; Jonathan Reckford, pastoral leader for Habitat for Humanity; Maj. George Hood, national community relations secretary of the Salvation Army; Bob Forney, president and CEO of America's Second Harvest; John Hill of the National Next of Kin Registry; Nancy Aossey, president and CEO of the International Medical Corp.; and Lt.

CNN will simulcast the special on CNN International and CNNRadio. CNN.com will post special "How You Can Help" coverage on its front page.

"People here and around the globe have been overwhelmed by Katrina's destructive wake, and they want to know how they can help," said Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S.

"That's why we're preparing this special, to help our viewers understand that there are many ways they can contribute and volunteer."

The program will provide viewers with phone numbers, Web sites and other contacts for organizations assisting in the relief effort.
