The special will air Monday, Dec. 31 from 10-11 p.m. ET/PT, will break for local news and return for the final countdown from 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.
Fun fact! Because New Years Eve fell on a Sunday last year, there was no New Years Eve special on NBC’s schedule, in order to make way for football. Sadly the NFL re-shuffled the schedule last minute, cancelling the game. So the network ended up airing reruns and such in the slot. But no worries! NBC’s Big New Years Eve show is BACK to ring in 2019! It’ll be beat by Ryan Seacrest’s New Years Rockin’ Eve, but we’ll give NBC an A for effort anyway.
The 10th annual Nashville New Year’s Eve event will take place near the Tennessee State Capitol at Nashville’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. The music-filled evening caps off with a Music Note Drop and fireworks to ring in the New Year.
NBC’s New Year’s Eve is executive produced by Daly, Teigen and John Irwin through NBCUniversal Television Studio and Irwin Entertainment. It is co-executive produced by Casey Spira and directed by Ryan Polito.
