Memorial Day Weekend TV Specials & Marathons 2020

DreamWorks Saving Private Ryan

If you’re stuck at home this Memorial Day, never fear — between streaming services and regular TV programming, there are oodles of things to keep you occupied all weekend, from marathons to classic shows like Roseanne, The Simpsons, and The Office, to CBS showing Titanic in its entirety, to a marathon of World War II movies on TCM. There is also the National Memorial Day Concert, which is being held virtually for the first time. Host Joe Mantegna told WTOP that he’s really looking forward to the new format this year.

“It’s actually going to be a very special kind of a show this year that I’m actually looking forward to because this is the first time I’ll be able to see it,” Mantegna said. “This will be my 19th year … Performances are going to be done by artists in their homes … It’s going to include some of the best segments that we’ve had for close to 30 years.”

The show will open with Christopher Jackson singing the National Anthem. There will also be remote performances from Cynthia Erivo, Trace Adkins, Renee Fleming, CeCe Winans, Kelli O’Hara, Mary McCormack, and the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO).
