Folks in Central Time will get to see their own version of a live New Year’s Rockin’ Eve rather than the taped Times Square version of the previous years.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve host Ryan Seacrest will lead the New Orleans countdown from his spot in New York City, along with Jenny McCarthy.
In place of a ball dropping like in Times Square, New Orleans has a fleur-de-lis that drops each year in Jackson Square.
The Central Time broadcast will feature the best festivities that New Orleans has to offer in the final hours of 2016.
