UNCORK YOUR NEW YEAR'S PLANNER

With New Year's Eve on a Saturday (meaning even more drunks than usual racing from party to party), plus super-spreader risks and lots of scary weather, we expect more than a few of you will be staying in for the big ball drop. Not to worry, though—we've got you covered with a list of NYE media entertainment you can enjoy from the safety of your living room. As for us, we expect to pass out sometime around 9:30.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest

Beginning at 5pm PT on 12/31, NYE mascot Ryan Seacrest and co-host Liza Koshy will take over Times Square with performances by Duran Duran, New Edition, j-hope and Jax.

West Coast musical guests (coming to you from Disneyland) will include Aly & AJ, Ciara, Fitz & the Tantrums and Halle Bailey. Tune in to ABC to watch the big ball drop. And for a more gradual ball drop, tune into the rest of our lives.

CMT’s Cody Alan and WCBS’ Lonnie Quinn will go live from NYC for the Times Square ball drop before the Nashville crowd rings in the New Year in Central Time. Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker and Luke Bryan are among the slew of other acts expected to hit the stage throughout the evening. The special will stream on Paramount+ as well. Jack Sussman will be toasting the fact that we won't be there.
