When youâre deciding which networkâs coverage youâll watch this New Yearâs Eve (the answer is, as it is every year, flipping between every channelâs programming, in a nonstop loop, for hours), ABC hopes youâll throw your vote behind their Dick Clarkâs New Yearâs Rockinâ Eve special, which will feature a guest appearance by President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden. The Vice President and the future First Lady will join host Ryan Seacrest for what Variety notes will be âthe future presidentâs last interview of the calendar year,â unless, of course, the Bidens find themselves in some sort of time-bending Tenet-type situation, and have to repeat the last few months in reverse, which would just be the most fitting end to 2020, wouldnât it?
Times Squareâs annual crowded gathering wonât be happening due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but New Yearâs Rockinâ Eve will feature performances in New York, where Seacrest will be joined by Billy Porter and Lucy Hale, Los Angeles, where Ciara will host, and New Orleans with host Big Freedia, with Jennifer Lopez closing out the evening as headliner. Dick Clarkâs New Yearâs Rockinâ Eve With Ryan Seacrest kicks off at Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
