6.3 million viewers during the late-night window (11:30 p.m. to 12:20 a.m.) that included midnight, and an average 5.8 million across the entire telecast. Variety also listed the special as the highest-trending television or streaming program of the week on Twitter. During NBC's upfronts in May 2022, it was announced that Miley's New Year's Eve Party had been renewed for 2022–23. On November 21, 2022, NBC announced that country singer and Cyrus's godmother Dolly Parton would be the new co-host. They were joined as performers by David Byrne (who performed a surprise duet of "Let's Dance" with Cyrus), Fletcher, Latto, Liily, Rae Sremmurd, and Paris Hilton (who made a surprise appearance to perform "Stars Are Blind" with Cyrus and Sia). It also included appearances by Please Don't Destroy, Chloe Fineman, and Sarah Sherman of Saturday Night Live. NBC once again finished in second place for the night, with an average of 5.3 million viewers across A Toast to 2022 and the main special; following NBC's lead, both New Year's Rockin' Eve and Nashville's Big Bash adopted the scheduling patterns adopted by NBC by pushing their late-night halves forward to 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. With New Year's Eve falling on a Sunday in 2023–24, NBC would thus be committed to air Sunday Night Football should the NFL initially schedule a game that night like in 2017–18.
