Tim, TV and Turkey: a New Holiday Tradition
Thanksgiving week is turning into a tradition of sorts for Tim McGraw concert specials. NBC's "Tim McGraw: Sing Me Home," his first program for network broadcast TV, aired Thanksgiving week 2002 and drew 6.8 million U.S. households, according to Nielsen Media Research. This year, McGraw returns for another one-hour NBC concert special, "Tim McGraw: Here and Now," which will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT Nov. 24. "Tim McGraw: Here and Now" will include a concert in Green Bay, Wis., as well as other footage from McGraw's most recent tour. Hip-hop star Nelly will be a special guest, performing his hit with McGraw, "Over and Over," in what may be the duo's only live performance, taped in Las Vegas. Faith Hill (McGraw's wife) and the Warren Brothers also appear on the program, performing on the song "Blank Sheet of Paper." McGraw says of the collaboration with Nelly, "I loved the song, and we just went in and cut it. Nelly and I are friends. We're kind of the same guy but just come from different places. When we were working on the song, we had a good feeling about it." McGraw adds that he and Nelly are discussing doing a music video for "Over and Over." As for choosing Green Bay as the location for his concert special, McGraw says the chief reason was because the tour was scheduled to play two nights there, making it more conducive to taping a TV show.
