Miley Cyrus and SNL‘s Pete Davidson to Host New Year’s Eve Special for NBC
Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson are set to host a New Year’s Eve party for NBC, titled — wait for it — Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party Hosted by Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson.
The “all-star celebration” will feature the eponymous recording artist and Saturday Night Live standout, as well a lineup (TBD!) of special guests and musical performances.
Executive-produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, the special will air live on NBC, from Miami, Fla., on Friday, Dec. 31 from 10:30 pm to 12:30am ET. It will also be live-streamed on the Peacock service.
“In what is sure to be an exciting and fun evening, we are looking forward to partnering with Lorne Michaels and ringing in 2022 with a night of incredible entertainment, led by Miley and Pete” NBCUniversal live events EVP Jen Neal said in a statement. (As SNL‘s Chad might say, “OK!”)
Among the rival offerings this New Year’s Eve, ABC has Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2022, a 50th year celebration that will feature the show’s first-ever Spanish language countdown (with Puerto Rico as the inaugural host destination).
CBS meanwhile is fixin’ to bring ya New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, to be hosted by American Idol’s Bobby Bones and Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith and feature performances by Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, Elle King, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell and Zac Brown Band.
LOL, Nope.
I must be getting older, because the idea of watching this sounds like an absolute nightmare.
What really matters is whether or not Joel Mchale and Ken Jeong will be back?
They will be for fox.
Yeah, I know. But there has been no official statement that they’ll be back.
No thanks. OO
Couldn’t think of two people I’d like to see less.
We know why Pete was chosen?! No thank you to this line up! Miss you Dick Ckark…
Wow! That’s a terrible combination! Sad who qualifies as talent nowadays.
Not a chance.
SNL standout? Please. Playing himself all the time in a sketch comedy show is all he’s got. What range. Why is the media fueling this guy? I feel like I’m completely out of touch what people find funny nowadays. Is it PC culture that’s just ruined comedy and this is all that’s left??
Miley Cyrus has an amazing voice and a quirkiness I can deal with. Pete Davidson irks me. I do not find him funny or even mildly tolerable.
Actually, none of these New Year’s Eve offerings appeal to me, so I’ll probably be watching my DVR.
And on the first week of January, Miley and Pete will be dating.
Or Miley and Kim?
