and featured performances by Avril Lavigne, Duran Duran, and Maroon 5, along with special guest appearances by Brian Williams (NBC Nightly News) and Donald Trump (The Apprentice). It consisted only of a primetime segment at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno would handle midnight coverage after late local programming. The special averaged a total of 4.5 million viewers, finishing third behind Fox's New Year's Eve: Live from Times Square with Ryan Seacrest (5.7 million), and ABC's Primetime New Year's Rockin' Eve with guest host Regis Philbin (7.9 million).
