CBS New Year's Bash Interrupted by 'Matlock' Glitch
1 Jan
Summary
- Live New Year's Eve broadcast was interrupted for 12 minutes.
- An episode of 'Matlock' unexpectedly aired during the special.
- The technical issue occurred during Lainey Wilson's musical performance.
During the live telecast of "New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash," CBS experienced a significant technical issue that halted the broadcast for approximately 12 minutes. This unexpected interruption occurred about 50 minutes into the five-and-a-half-hour special, leaving viewers confused.
Instead of the planned country music performances, CBS viewers were shown an episode of "Matlock" that appeared to start mid-stream. The technical difficulties began during a performance by singer-actor Lainey Wilson, followed by commercials and then the "Matlock" rerun, before the live show eventually returned.
Following the return of hosts Bert Kreischer and Hardy, an apology was issued for the disruption. The show, which featured numerous country music stars like Jason Aldean and Keith Urban, then continued from Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville.
