coverage from Times Square anchored by Clark. New Year's Rockin' Eve returned for 1973–74, with comedian George Carlin as host. The following year, New Year's Rockin' Eve moved to its current home of ABC. For 1990–91, Jay Leno guest hosted the New Year's Eve edition of The Tonight Show, with former Today anchor Jane Pauley reporting from Times Square. Two years later, after Leno succeeded Carson as host of The Tonight Show, he continued this tradition when New Year's Eve fell on a weekday, broadcasting a special live episode with coverage of the ball drop. Saturday Night Live has always been on holiday hiatus at the end of each calendar year, thus it has never aired a new episode on New Year's Eve night when the holiday falls on a Saturday evening. For 1999–2000, NBC and MSNBC aired special coverage of millennium celebrations produced by NBC News. NBC aired a special extended edition of Today, top-of-hour segments with coverage of festivities in each time zone, a special episode of Dateline NBC, and primetime coverage hosted by Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric from Times Square. Leno made a guest appearance at 11:35 p.m. ET (the traditional timeslot of The Tonight Show) to present a special monologue segment. Meanwhile, MSNBC aired 30 hours of rolling coverage, with NBC News correspondents reporting from international celebrations. Brian Williams would anchor MSNBC's primetime coverage. Late Night with Conan O'Brien also provided a more tongue-in-cheek complement for most of that show's run, with its episode featuring a celebration for the Central Time Zone (as the show usually aired at 11:35 p.m. CT) that featured jokes and gags relating to the Midwest, and satirized the extensive focus placed on New York City in New Year's Eve specials. New Year's Eve with Carson Daly Following his arrival at the network from MTV (where he had also hosted New Year's specials), Carson Daly had personally expressed an interest in participating in other ventures for NBC alongside his new late night program Last Call with Carson Daly, including the idea of producing a New Year's Eve special for the network. The first edition of the special, known as New Year's Eve with Carson Daly, premiered for New Year's Eve 2004–05. Discussing the special, Daly said that it would be "a little smarter than MTV, yet cooler than Dick Clark". The inaugural special was hosted by Daly from the Rockefeller Center,
