This two-hour event will light up your screens on Friday, July 4th at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with an encore presentation at 10 p.m. ET on NBC. Get ready for a dazzling display of over 80,000 fireworks shells illuminating the New York City skyline near the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The event will be hosted by the talented Ariana DeBose and feature performances from the Jonas Brothers, Eric Church, Lenny Kravitz, and more.

If you’re a Kelly Clarkson fan, you’re in luck! Kelly will be hosting a four-part NBC special called “Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson.” Building on her popular “Songs & Stories” segments on The Kelly Clarkson Show, this special will feature intimate interviews with Gloria Estefan, Jonas Brothers, Lizzo, and Teddy Swims. The hour-long episodes will air weekly on NBC starting Tuesday, August 19th at 10 p.m. ET.
