"Nothing will make me happier than to have a front row seat to watch 2020 disappear and usher in the hope for brighter days in 2021," Carson said in a statement that tackles the event.
He added that he is excited to welcome Amber and tWitch in New York's Time Square for the legendary and much-awaited ball drop for the New Year. However, the upcoming host is undoubtedly going to miss the massive audience.
How does the New Year's Eve Live 2021 goes during a pandemic?
Inquisitr stated that despite the NBC show hailing three hosts and being live broadcasted to the world, the event would be surrounded by spectators online. Due to the restrictions, audiences are not allowed to attend the event, and also, there will be zero probability of allowing the public access to the show.
Before the main event, NBC will broadcast a select show titled New Year's Eve: Escape From 2020 that will be headlined by Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb.
Furthermore, the said pre-show will recall and revisit the significant happenings in 2020, from 8 to 10 PM EST. On the other hand, the New Year's Eve 2021 will kick off right after the pre-show, which will last for an hour to pave the way for the local news.
According to UPI, the show will return after half an hour for the night's most iconic event, the New Year's countdown and the ball drop.
