The health and safety of our casts and crews has always been, and will continue to be, of the utmost importance.
Joel McHale and Ken Jeong were set to co-host the program, alongside special correspondent Kelly Osbourne. Musical performances by Billy Idol Imagine Dragons, P!nk, Maroon 5 and others were also on the books for the Dec. 31 telecast through a partnership with iHeartRadio.
