What a Production! Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, That was what A list talent does.

BTW I am not a big Katy Perry fan but the whole show was awesome but the closing w/Katy and the fireworks
was stunning. The camera shots and the cuts to the Bidens and Kamala and her 1st guy were seamless.



The Big Three broadcast networks are mulling a roadblock special to air in prime time Jan. 20 celebrating the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States and Kamala Harris as Vice President.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell Variety that the special would be 90 minutes to two hours in length and would be produced by Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, the same team that handled the Democratic National Convention. Weiss is set to direct. The special would feature remote performances as well as other possible highlights such as an outdoor, ball-style “first dance” with Biden and soon-to-be-First Lady Jill Biden, and a fireworks display.

Names of possible talent to appear are not yet known, but one network source said they assumed that Weiss and Kirshner would have no problem delivering A-listers for the event, citing what is largely viewed as their successful work on the convention.
