Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting on TV NOW

It's on NBC. Ch. 4 here in NYC.

Not sure if this is being shown nationally. Sheryl Crowe is on right now. Rod Stewart is coming up.

I kept flipping between this and Rudolph. I wanted to catch the Brian Setzer Orchestra, but I missed it.

I didn't expect it to be two hours long, so I switched to Rudolph.

I did flick back and forth a few times. Whoever told Regis Philbin that he can sing did the world a huge disservice.

Setzkitten, the Brain Setzer number was one of my favorites.

It was only one for an hour here.

Maybe because I'm in the Metropolitan area, it was on for two hours here. It started at 7:00pm EST and I expected the tree to be lit before Rudolph started.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra performed a full segment during that first hour. They did come back to them after one commercial. They obviously were at the end of a second song and cut away once it was done.

That could explain why you didn't get to see them perform.

I'm trying to think of who else was on during the first hour. The Broadway Divas, Il Divo, Carrie Underwood, Rod Stewart, Sheryl Crow, Earth, Wind and Fire are the ones I remember. Mercifully, they saved Regis for the second hour when Rudolph was one.
