It's going to be a holiday to remember as Justin Bieber, Cee Lo Green, Jennifer Hudson, Victoria Justice and The Band Perry are set to come together in the nation's capital for TNT's annual "Christmas in Washington" special. Hosted this year by Conan O'Brien, the star-studded concert will premiere Friday, December 16, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), exclusively on TNT.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Christmas in Washington is a holiday tradition benefiting the Children's National Medical Center. The concert is attended each year by the President and First Lady and other Washington VIPs. Christmas in Washington will be taped at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, December 11.
Conan O'Brien, the star of TBS's hit late-night series "Conan," is making his first appearance as host of Christmas in Washington. Earlier this year, he earned an Emmy nomination (his 19th) for his work on "Conan," and his show was nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series.
TNT has been televising "Christmas in Washington" since 1999. The show has earned two Emmys for Musical Direction and 12 nominations overall. "Christmas in Washington" is executive-produced by 15-time Emmy winner George Stevens, Jr. and directed and produced by four-time Emmy winner Michael Stevens for The Stevens Company. Most recently, the pair produced Thurgood for HBO. They previously produced the "We Are One" concert at the Lincoln Memorial on the eve of the Inauguration of President Barack Obama and earned Emmys for the 2008, 2009, and 2010 "Kennedy Center Honors" — one of only 12 programs ever to win three consecutive years.
For TNT, Ricki Rosenfeld and David Bryant serve as executives in charge of production, with Mark Shimmel returning for his seventh year as music executive for TNT.
