https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/20/us/watch-biden-inauguration.htmlJoseph R. Biden Jr. will be sworn in as president of the United States today around 12 p.m. Eastern. In the evening, Tom Hanks will host a prime-time celebration.
The 59th presidential inauguration will be largely virtual, but will still feature a number of ceremonial events and celebrations. Heres whats happening and how to watch from home.
Inauguration schedule:
Coverage will begin around 10 a.m. Eastern, with the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for later in the morning on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington. Kamala Harris will first be sworn in as vice president by Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Shortly before 12 p.m., Joseph R. Biden Jr. will then be sworn in as president by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. The ceremony will feature a musical performance from Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem. Garth Brooks is also expected to perform.
Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, along with their spouses, Jill Biden and Douglas Emhoff, will then conduct a review of the military and visit Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. They will be joined by three former presidents and their wives, who will also be present at the swearing-in: Barack and Michelle Obama, George W. and Laura Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Finally, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris will head to the White House. Instead of a parade along Pennsylvania Avenue, a virtual procession hosted by the actor Tony Goldwyn at 3:15 p.m. will showcase performers and speakers from across the country. Jon Stewart will make an appearance, and musical acts including Earth Wind & Fire will perform.

Ha ha...now I won't have to run for the remote control when I watch the news. I won't need to "mute" Biden.
I'd better set my alarm clock.

As a night owl on the West coast, I'm thinking I won't get much sleep, but hey, that's OK!
