What's On Tonight (Sunday): New Year's Eve celebration for the early birds

Next at the Kennedy Center


RIP 2023! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 31!

Our Top Pick tonight is Next at the Kennedy Center (PBS, 8 p.m.). This still rather new and occasional performing arts series showcases those who pass through the Kennedy Center, which are some of the best in the arts and culture. I think tonight's episode, which only runs 1 hour, is the 8th overall for the show.

Elsewhere, Dick Clark is still Rockin', Nashville unleashes another Big Bash, Dave Chappelle takes more millions from Netflix, and Anderson and Andy are Live.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
