Will Drake and Tony Bennett be the next to pair off on one of Bennett's "Duets" tunes? Maybe not. But the rapper and crooner are among the guest who'll perform on NBC's "New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly" special on Dec. 31.
The Times Square-based event will also include appearances by Daly's cohorts from "The Voice" — Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green — as well as Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, Jessie J. and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star J.B. Smoove.
Daly will also count down the top five "game changers" of 2011, while NBC News' Brian Williams will — oddly enough– review the year in music.
