Transcript

00:00We're back live with New Year's Rockin' Eve, presented by Planet Fitness.

00:10Not about a million people need tonight's square, and keeping us safe are the first responders and members of the armed services.

00:19Like Ryan and K-9 Paul here, thank you very much for everything you do.

00:22Great to have you with us on New Year's Rockin' Eve, both here and around the globe.

00:27We appreciate all of you.

00:28Now at West, our Las Vegas celebration will be raging until well after they reach midnight, floating in that water are Gronk and Julianne.

00:47Okay, guys, you can already feel a lot of this fun thing with excitement as we get closer to your iconic ball drop in Times Square.

00:56But now it's midnight moment here in Vegas.

00:59I'm not sure if it's all the excitement in the air or all that great workout I chucked there in the break.

01:05But something's buzzing.

01:07And the party can just begin.

01:09Because after that ball drops in Times Square, we're kicking our Vegas party in the high here.

01:15Oh, that's right.

01:16We've got performances from Kudu Zolls, Jordan Davis, and our very own Chance the Rocker in Chicago.

01:22Plus, more from Debbie Lovato, 50 Cent, the legendary Ryan Carey, and so much more coming your way.

01:30Buckle up, guys.

01:31New Year's Rockin' Eve 2026 Vegas is coming in hot after midnight.

01:36Back to you, Ryan.

01:38All right, hang tight.

01:39Right now the temperature in New York is 32 degrees.

01:42No matter what the weather is like, people still come from all over to see the ball drop in person.

01:49Like these people right here.

01:50Hi, kids.

01:51Welcome to New Year's Eve.

01:52Rita is somewhere with a great view of that ball.

01:55Where are you, Rita?

01:56We are so close to the ball, you guys.

01:59I can see it from right there.

02:01Thank you so much, Ryan.

02:02People, this is not a drill, okay?

02:04Midnight is around the corner.

02:06Now's the time to get everyone's attention so no one misses it.

02:10We are mere minutes away from saying hello to 2026 and goodbye forever, too.

02:17We'll be doing it with a performance from Sierra.

02:20You'll actually know if you know us in some weeks.

02:22Pick the ball and then post the line.

02:24But first, we've got a ball to drop, guys.

02:26When New Year's Rockin' Eve returns right here on ABC.

02:29Let's go!

02:45At Planet Fitness, no two members are alike.

02:49Their routines are different.

02:51They use different equipment.

02:53One, two.

02:53And they do it for different reasons.

02:57You're a mythical beast.

02:59But they all have one thing in common.

03:02Wait, you got this one.

03:04They're all strong.

03:05That's right.

03:06We're all strong on this planet.

03:08Planet Fitness.

03:09One more, everybody.

03:11Two?

03:12Five more.

03:13Vacations will never be the same.

03:26Welcome to the four parks of Universal Orlando Resort.

03:42This holiday, Verizon's got the craziest deal ever.

03:46Four iPhone 17 Pros.

03:48All on them.

03:49There's no getting it.

03:50It's awesome.

03:51You just ate.

03:54Don't worry.

03:55We know unless you're on.

03:57I'm always watching.

04:00Always watching.

04:02Not always.

04:03Boundaries.

04:04For a limited time, get four iPhone 17 Pros on us.

04:08No trade-in needed.

04:09Plus four lines for $25 a line.

04:14Sometimes my moderate to severe plaques rise as it gets in my way.

04:19But thanks to Sky Rizzy, I'm free to bare my skin.

04:23It's getting clearer than I feel free.

04:26It's where my skin can't last on me.

04:28It's a dream.

04:29It's in pain.

04:33With Sky Rizzy, I saw a dramatically clearer skin.

04:37And many people were 100% plaque-free.

04:40Sky Rizzy is just four doses a year and reduced starter doses.

04:44Don't use allergic, serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or a lower ability to fight that may occur.

04:50Before treatment, get checked for infections and TB.

04:52Tell your doctor about any flu-like symptoms or vaccines.

05:04Now's the time.

05:05Ask your doctor about Sky Rizzy, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic and psoriasis.

05:11Learn how happy can help you save it.

05:13We're following developing deals at Old Navy.

05:16And coming up next, are metallics a new neutral or just a cry for attention?

05:20Ain't that the truth?

05:21Mm-hmm.

05:22Do you like metallics?

05:23I do a little bit.

05:24Okay.

05:25Metallica.

05:29You know what?

05:32I'm going to put that on silent.

05:33I'm going to put that on silent.

05:38I'm going to put that on silent.

05:39I don't know.

05:41I am afraid of me.

05:44I don't know.

05:50Find your part.

05:51Chips.

05:52Am I right?

05:55Yeah.

05:56The economy is called.

05:57Miss Guillory is a one-woman hurricane.

06:02I'm an incredible multitasker.

06:05But she connects with cases in ways conventional detectives cannot.

06:09I think I just figured it out.

06:10I never doubted you for a second, Guillory.

06:15I left my phone on the cartoniers.

06:16The last time I let you borrow my phone.

06:18I changed the ringtone to baby got back.

06:20I haven't heard the end of it.

06:23She did it again.

06:27Welcome back to New Year's Rockin' Heat.

06:42Joining me for the countdown are Diana Ross.

06:47Wow.

06:48What a performance, Diana Ross.

06:50Mara Morris is here.

06:52Sierra and Russell Wilson, her husband.

06:54The new year is just minutes away, and the phones are out to capture the Reagan Constellation Ball.

07:02It's about to rain confetti.

07:05It's almost time for the big moment, and I believe it's a first for everybody up here on this stage.

07:12You've helped us out and worked with us on the West Coast here, but never here in Times Square.

07:17Oh, this is a dream come true.

07:18I was always on this stage for performing, so dream came true tonight, right there in our hometown, New York.

07:25So, so excited, so proud.

07:26It's about to happen.

07:28Rita, set the scene where you are.

07:30You know what?

07:30This is just iconic, okay?

07:33First of all, your stage ride looks like Man of Two Swords.

07:36I mean, to see all of you guys at once, it's incredible.

07:39It's really happening, Ryan.

07:40You can feel it in the air.

07:42Everyone is ready to let the confetti fly and pop some champagne.

07:48These are the last seconds of the year, and, well, I'm grateful for so much that's happened in 2025.

07:53I'm looking forward to seeing what next year has in store.

07:57Let's see if this new ball can live up to the hype, okay?

08:01We will see you in 2026, Ryan.

08:04We'll see you after midnight, absolutely, Rita.

08:07And I am so happy to be on this stage.

08:09Believe me, it's almost here.

08:11The eyes of the world are on that brand-new ball.

08:14Take a look.

08:15It is absolutely stunning, almost 500 feet above the street.

08:20Look at those lights, just beautiful.

08:2312 1⁄2 feet in diameter.

08:25It weighs more than 12,000 pounds, 5,000 water for crystals and LED lights, and New York City is getting ready.

08:37Diana, can you describe what it feels like to be here in this moment just before midnight?

08:42This is love's energy.

08:44It's a blessing, and I'm so grateful.

08:47We're grateful you're here.

08:48What were you feeling when you gave us that incredible memory a few minutes ago?

08:52Well, first of all, I was trying to pick the songs that I thought the audience would really love to hear.

08:58You know, I'm coming out, Upside Down, The Boss, and Ain't a Mountain High enough.

09:03Yes, yes.

09:04The message in my last song is tomorrow starts with you and me.

09:08We're all together.

09:09Yes.

09:09Happiness.

09:10And you will see that happiness in just a little bit.

09:13We're about a minute away from the new year.

09:16Maren, any final thoughts or words before the year ends?

09:19Um, I'm just so, so honored to be here.

09:23I've grown up watching the show, so I'm going to remember this one and tell my son about it.

09:28And thank you for having me.

09:30Thank you for being here and performing.

09:32We're 45 seconds away from the big celebration.

09:38The folks in the crowd have been lined up and waiting since early this morning.

09:42We all came in to rehearse.

09:44They were here.

09:45They've been waiting patiently.

09:46And we're 30 seconds away.

09:50I'm starting to feel the chills.

09:5325 seconds.

09:57Find somebody you love.

10:00We're going to count it down together.

10:0215.

10:0310, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

10:18Happy New Year.

10:21Happy New Year, indeed.

10:22And my cat Missy says Happy New Year, too.

10:34Isn't that right, Missy?

10:36We made it, we did it, 2026 has arrived in New York, and we celebrate another year together.

11:06There is nothing right this moment in the world.

11:11I am yesterday, I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.

11:24Happy New Year, Missy.

11:28Nice to have you.

11:32Hopefully you're doing, we'll be okay this year, Missy.

11:39New York, New York.

11:42Everyone here united by this singular experience, it never gets old.

11:46Let's take it in.

11:48Let's take it in.

11:55Frank Sinatra's version of New York, New York.

12:01It is a classic, the king song for this great city for nearly five decades.

12:08The confetti is following the fireworks.

12:14You know, I hear some fireworks on a blast around there, so.

12:21There are a few doors.

12:22Maybe there are, maybe I should.

12:27Anywhere it's up to you.

12:31New York.

12:33New York.

12:36Electric, this feeling, isn't it?

12:38Oh, my God.

12:39What the fuck?

12:41What?

12:42Here they are.

12:43You've got to do it at least once.

12:45I tell everybody that.

12:46Here we are.

12:48Are you singing?

12:49Are you singing?

12:50Oh, yeah, I'm singing.

12:51Hello, I'm singing.
