Where is New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly 2018 on NBC?
Unfortunately, this year something is clearly getting in the way of Daly’s ability to broadcast his big show … and it’s unfortunately something that is firmly out of his control. In a post on Instagram below, he explains that a series of complications made it hard for him and NBC to make anything happen this year. Because of New Year’s Eve falling on a Sunday this year, NBC originally was set on airing a Sunday Night Football game; however, the NFL at the last minute decided for some reason that they wanted to air all of their games during the day today. The timeslot late tonight was freed up because of that, but Daly was told by the higher-ups that there wasn’t time to get a show together for tonight.
We do understand the last-minute reasoning here given that for a New Year’s Eve show you have to get a lineup of performers together and also interviews — you can’t just have Daly running over to New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and snatching people who are talking with Ryan Seacrest. This show needs to be its own animal and have its own time in the spotlight. Hopefully, it will return in the new year — if you want to watch celebrations on TV, you do still have New Year’s Rockin’ Eve plus also broadcasts that will be coming on Fox and CNN tonight. You’ll be able to read more about this over at the link here.
