Ryan Seacrest will close out 2020 with a special pair of guests by his side: the president-elect and the future first lady.
Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, are scheduled to appear at this year's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" alongside Seacrest.
The Bidens will "share an inspiring message as we come together to close out 2020 and look ahead with hope to 2021," according to a statement by the producers.
Jennifer Lopez will be the musical headliner. The pop star will perform live before the iconic ball drop on Dec. 31. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the event will be closed to the public.
