Coming to you live from Miami, Florida are superstar recording artist Miley Cyrus and country superstar Dolly Parton, hosting NBC’s New Year’s Eve Party. Here is what you need to know about the hosts and performers, plus the lead-in program, “A Toast to 2022!” with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
NBC’s ‘Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party’ Hosts
For the second year in a row, Miley Cyrus is ringing in the New Year for NBC, but this year, she is swapping co-hosts — Pete Davidson has been replaced by Dolly Parton, who is Cyrus’ godmother.
In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Parton said that she and Cyrus will be doing some comedy bits and that “anything can happen live” with the two of them get together.
“We’re going to be doing some skits. I know that anything can happen live with the two of us. I’m sure we’ll be wearing some bizarre costumes and we’ll be singing some serious songs, some fun songs [and] we’ll be bringing in the new year in fun fashion, I’m sure,” said Parton.
She continued, “So, I’m looking forward to that and being in Miami at that time of year. When she first asked me, when she talked about doing the New Year’s show I thought it might be from New York and I wasn’t gonna do it ’cause I didn’t want to get that cold, you know,” Parton revealed. “She said, ‘No, that’s why I don’t do it in New York. That’s why I’m going to Miami.’ So, we’re gonna do it there, so that should be a lot of fun. I’ve never spent much time in Miami.”
“The inaugural ‘Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party’ was an unqualified success and we know this year’s show will be just as spectacular, with plenty of surprises and lots of fun,” said Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Live Events, Specials and E! News, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. “We can’t wait to get the party started.”
