NBC New Year's Eve specials#Carson's Countdown

Since the 1940s, NBC had broadcast coverage of New Year's festivities from Times Square anchored by Ben Grauer on both radio and television. Its coverage was later incorporated into special editions of the network's late-night talk show, The Tonight Show.{{cite news |last=Oldenberg |first=Ann |date=December 29, 2005 |title=Battle of Times Square |work=USA Today |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-12-29-clark-nye-return_x.htm |access-date=January 5, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110055047/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-12-29-clark-nye-return_x.htm |archive-date=November 10, 2013}} This tradition continued through Johnny Carson's tenure as host.

For 1972–73, NBC aired a new special produced by entertainer Dick Clark, Three Dog Night's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Created as a contemporary competitor to Guy Lombardo's big band-centric specials on CBS, the special was hosted and headlined by rock band Three Dog Night, and featured coverage from Times Square anchored by Clark.{{Cite news|last=Moore|first=Frazier|date=December 26, 2001|title=Next week to be 25th New Year's Eve without Guy Lombardo|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|agency=Associated Press|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20011226guy1226p6.asp|url-status=live|access-date=January 1, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929134336/http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20011226guy1226p6.asp|archive-date=September 29, 2007}}{{Cite news|last=Memmott|first=Carol|date=December 27, 2011|title=Dick Clark: Rockin' it on New Year's since 1972|work=USA Today|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/story/2011-12-27/dick-clark-rockin-new-years-eve-40th-anniversary/52246914/1|url-status=live|access-date=March 2, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002022933/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/story/2011-12-27/dick-clark-rockin-new-years-eve-40th-anniversary/52246914/1|archive-date=October 2, 2013}}{{Cite journal|author=|date=November 18, 1972|title=Foster Opens London 'Digs,' Ogles FM Buys & Bookers|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NQ8EAAAAMBAJ&q=three+dog+night+%22Queen+Mary%22&pg=PA10|journal=Billboard Magazine|pages=3, 10|access-date=March 2, 2012}}{{Cite journal|date=April 18, 2012|title=Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve: 5 Memorable Moments From The Show's History (Video)|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dick-clark-death-new-years-rockin-313801|url-status=live|journal=The Hollywood Reporter|issue=The Live Feed|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423210119/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dick-clark-death-new-years-rockin-313801|archive-date=April 23, 2012|access-date=November 29, 2012}} New Year's Rockin' Eve returned for 1973–74, with comedian George Carlin as host.{{Cite book|last=Sullivan|first=James|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IWYmZd1T3HkC&q=new+year%27s+rockin%27+eve+1973+%22Queen+Mary%22&pg=PA145|title=Seven dirty words: the life and crimes of George Carlin|year=2010|isbn=978-0786745920|pages=145|publisher=Hachette Books }} The following year, New Year's Rockin' Eve moved to its current home of ABC.{{Cite news|last=Stelter|first=Brian|date=December 31, 2011|title=4 Decades Later, He Still Counts|page=C1|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/arts/television/dick-clark-and-rockin-eve-reach-milestone.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print|url-status=live|access-date=January 1, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140327100735/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/31/arts/television/dick-clark-and-rockin-eve-reach-milestone.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print|archive-date=March 27, 2014}}

For 1990–91, Jay Leno guest hosted the New Year's Eve edition of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, with former Today anchor Jane Pauley reporting from Times Square.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/tv/1990/12/30/live-from-la-its-jay-lenos-new-years-eve/82bf7386-eee8-475f-b6cd-75c37004fa4c/ LIVE!

A celebrity correspondent reported from Times Square, with examples including John Leguizamo and Miss Piggy.{{cite news|last1=King|first1=Susan|title=Talking in the New Year|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-dec-28-tv-2713-story.html|access-date=January 1, 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=December 28, 1997}} For most of its run, its lead-out Late Night with Conan O'Brien also aired a first-run episode with a tongue-in-cheek "countdown" for the Central Time Zone (as the show usually aired at 11:35 p.m. CT).{{Cite news |last=Suddath |first=Claire |date=November 1, 2011 |title=Get Ready New York: Conan O’Brien is Back |url=https://entertainment.time.com/2011/11/01/get-ready-new-york-conan-obrien-is-back/ |access-date=August 2, 2024 |work=Time |language=en-US |issn=0040-781X}} Saturday Night Live has always been on holiday hiatus at the end of each calendar year, thus it has never aired a new episode on New Year's Eve night when the holiday falls on a Saturday.

For 1999–2000, NBC and MSNBC aired special coverage of millennium celebrations produced by NBC News. NBC aired a special extended edition of Today, top-of-hour segments with coverage of festivities in each time zone, a special episode of Dateline NBC, and primetime coverage hosted by Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric from Times Square. Leno made a guest appearance at 11:35 p.m. ET (the traditional timeslot of The Tonight Show) to present a special monologue segment. Meanwhile, MSNBC aired 30 hours of rolling coverage, with NBC News correspondents reporting from international celebrations. Brian Williams would anchor MSNBC's primetime coverage.{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-nov-26-ca-37851-story.html|title=Welcoming the New Year From the Sofa|last1=Jensen|first1=Elizabeth|date=November 26, 1999|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=December 31, 2017|language=en-US|issn=0458-3035}}{{Cite news|last=de Moraes|first=Lisa|date=November 25, 1999|title=Happy New Year!

Following his arrival at the network from MTV (where he had also hosted New Year's specials), Carson Daly had personally expressed an interest in participating in other ventures for NBC alongside his new late night program Last Call with Carson Daly, including the idea of producing a New Year's Eve special for the network. The first edition of the special, known as New Year's Eve with Carson Daly, premiered for New Year's Eve 2004–05. Discussing the special, Daly said that it would be "a little smarter than MTV, yet cooler than Dick Clark".{{cite news|title=Carson Daly stakes his claim on New Year's Eve|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sedRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CXIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3610,4138315&dq=carson+daly+new+year&hl=en|access-date=January 5, 2013|newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|date=December 31, 2004}}

The inaugural special was hosted by Daly from the Rockefeller Center, and featured performances by Avril Lavigne, Duran Duran, and Maroon 5, along with special guest appearances by Brian Williams (NBC Nightly News) and Donald Trump (The Apprentice). It consisted only of a primetime segment at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, as The Tonight Show would handle midnight coverage after late local programming.{{cite news |last1=Bauder |first1=David |date=December 27, 2004 |title=Challenger TV hosts ready to grab the ball when it drops |work=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-dec-27-et-eve27-story.html |access-date=January 1, 2018}} The special averaged a total of 4.5 million viewers, finishing third behind Fox's New Year's Eve: Live from Times Square with Ryan Seacrest (5.7 million), and ABC's Primetime New Year's Rockin' Eve with guest host Regis Philbin (7.9 million).

The following year, the special moved to an 11:35 p.m. ET/PT timeslot and began broadcasting from Times Square proper, thus officially replacing The Tonight Show as NBC's New Year's special. Daly explained that the special would showcase the atmosphere of the event and not be a "giant mishmash of pre-produced things." For the 2008–09 edition, the program reintroduced a primetime segment.{{cite news|title=Who's got talent?|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2008/12/30/whos-got-talent/|access-date=January 1, 2018|work=Chicago Tribune|date=December 30, 2008|language=en}}

The 2013–14 edition featured performances by Mariah Carey and Blake Shelton, and was co-hosted by Jane Lynch. Guest Natasha Leggero faced criticism over remarks regarding a controversial tweet made by the SpaghettiOs brand account on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack (which featured a cartoon SpaghettiO with a flag captioned "Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us"), quipping that "it sucks that the only survivors of Pearl Harbor are being mocked by the only food they can still chew." Her remarks were met with an immediate backlash over social media; in response, Leggero stated in a blog entry that she would not apologize, arguing that "the amazing courage of American veterans and specifically those who survived Pearl Harbor is [not] in any way diminished by a comedian making a joke about dentures on television", and that "I have more respect for Veterans than to think their honor can be impugned by a glamorous, charming comedian in a fur hat." She also called on those offended by the remarks to donate to Disabled American Veterans.{{cite news|title=TV highlights: Networks compete for most entertaining New Year's show|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/tv/tv-highlights-networks-compete-for-most-entertaining-new-years-show/2013/12/30/3826f0fa-715a-11e3-8def-a33011492df2_story.html|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=January 6, 2014|date=December 30, 2013}}{{cite news|title=Comedian Natasha Leggero responds to controversy over World War II veteran joke: 'I'm not sorry|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/comedian-natasha-leggero-responds-controversy-world-war-ii-veteran-joke-article-1.1566225|work=New York Daily News|access-date=January 6, 2014}}{{cite web|title=Comedian Natasha Leggero is Sorry/Not-Sorry About SpaghettiO-Gate|url=http://observer.com/2014/01/comedian-natasha-leggero-is-sorrynot-sorry-about-spaghettio-gate/|work=New York Observer|date=January 3, 2014 |access-date=January 6, 2014}} The 2013–14 edition saw ratings gains for the special; while it was still beaten overall by New Year's Rockin' Eve, the primetime segment (which had A Toast to 2013—a special hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb of Today—as a lead-in){{Cite web|last=Peterson|first=Tyler|title=Hoda Kotb & Kathie Lee Gifford to Host NBC's New Year Special A TOAST TO 2013!|url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Hoda-Kotb-Kathie-Lee-Gifford-to-Host-NBCs-New-Year-Special-A-TOAST-TO-2013-20131219|access-date=December 25, 2021|website=Broadway World|language=en}} brought 50% higher ratings than the previous year, and the midnight coverage was up by 6%.{{cite news|title=ABC Easily Tops New Year's Eve Ratings But NBC Makes Strides|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/abc-easily-tops-new-years-eve-ratings-but-nbc-makes-strides-1201019065/|work=Variety|access-date=January 22, 2014}}

The special did not air for 2017–18; NBC was committed to air Sunday Night Football for the final night of the NFL regular season, carrying the game that carried the greatest implication on the playoffs.
