Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter, from the Harry Potter movies, as well as other well known actors will appear (some via video) on a special broadcast of the show titled American Idol Gives Back
.
Appearing with Dan and Helena will be Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Forest Whitaker, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Bono and Rowan Atkinson, to name a few.
According to the web site:
The show will benefit CPEF is a charitable U.S. organization established to raise money and awareness to help combat extreme poverty in the US and throughout the world, particularly in Africa.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, April 10th, internet only, log-on to ticketmaster.com. By the way, proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the charity.
The show will air on Tuesday, April 24th and Wednesday, April 25th (please check your local listings). At this time we don't know what dates Dan will be on the show.
Thanks to Belle for the tip.
UPDATE: Thanks to DR.co.uk for letting us know that Dan's appearance will in fact be via video, as previously pointed out and the segement with Dan will not be "exclusive" to American Idol. We will update with more when we can.

"I think some people are not understanding what this is about. Dan has recorded a commercial to help the charity, he has not done it for American Idol or other show. The commercial will be aired in many tv channels, not only that show, and not only USA.
This show will just air the video like many others that would want to help the proyect will do.
And if you go to see Equus, you'll know Dan has a very good voice and sings very well, like even the critics have pointed out." Veri_Lara
Thanks for explaining it, hope now everyone understands it. :)

So, American Idol is finally doing something worthwhile--imagine that...Now the difficult thing will be trying to sit through it in order to get Daniel's appearance on tape. UGH!

Dan's a good dude but the news didn't really have me that excited until they said Kelly Clarkson was coming on the show too! I was like "WOOHOO!!" She hasn't performed on an Idol show in three years! Her new single "Never Again" is coming out in a week!

Awww...Darn it! I was hoping that I could at least laugh my head off if they sing...oh, well at least I can actually see 'em on A.I. That's pretty rare in the U.S.

Oh my God! That's absolutely awesome. I hope it's shown in the UK (ITV 2 usually show American Idol in the UK). It's really great that Dan is doing this for charity and for him to be involved in this alongside other big names in music and film is a great honour. Go Dan!

Babel, why?, do you think American people haven't ever seen a man with a beard?
This is to help these charities, I don't think they care about things like that. I think Dan looks great with it and I'm sure everyone has already see him with a beard since he has it too in the promotional pics for the play. But we don't know when the video was recorded.
People don't understand that this is not to make them excited or anything, this is to help other people who need it...

He is the only young actor his age who is taking part in this. What are other former child stars such as Lindsey Lohan doing for charity at the moment? Absolutely nothing. That's what makes him different from them, so Kudos to him.

I don't watch American Idol, but I think I'll have to try and endure one episode of it for this. Dan and HBC, how could I pass that up? Maybe I'll mute everything but their parts... XD

Well, I watch Idol anyway and was sooo excited when I turned it on last night partway through and Ryan Seacrest was just announcing that Dan Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter would be appearing. That's so cool!

It would be funnier see them sing a song, so we can vote for our favorite artist and that way it would be more money.

That's great. American Idol Gives Back is a great idea. Too bad he won't actually be there. I guess it's kind of hard to go to the US for that.
