Comedian and actor Bert Kreischer and country music star Hardy are set to co-host New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash on CBS tonight (December 31) to celebrate New Year’s Eve!
Social media star Haley Baylee is acting as a correspondent this year as well.
The big show kicks off at 8pm ET on CBS and the network will be taking a thirty minute break for the local news at 10pm. Then, at 10:30pm, the show will return for another three hours until 1:30am.
Bert said in a statement, “You hear people say, ‘I’m honored and privileged to be working with a certain group of people,’ but in this case, I am blown away that I’m allowed to work with these people. This lineup is insane. This event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun. To be working with my buddy Hardy… it feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. I can’t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on, and I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier.”
We have the full list of performers who will be taking the stage to celebrate NYE 2026!
