Carson Daly’s late night hosting duties are expanded tonight for a TV special ringing in the New Year. NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly (11:30 P.M. TO 12: 30 a.m. ET) will feature the cast of Green Day’s smash hit Broadway musical American Idiot as well as teen viral video phenomenon Greyson Chance performing live.

Additionally, Jimmy Fallon, host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and NBC News anchor Brian Williams will be on hand for a special appearance. Saturday Night Live cast member Jay Pharoah and Internet celebrity Antoine Dodson will also stop by for interviews.

The special will also feature an interview with U2’s Bono and The Edge with musical performances by My Chemical Romance, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.

Like last year, correspondents Natalie Morales and Amy Robach will return to help with Daly’s coverage with live reports from the heart of Times Square along with nearly one million spectators.
