CBS PRESENTS "JOSH GROBAN & FRIENDS GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS," AN ENTERTAINMENT SPECIAL CELEBRATING THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF FAMILY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, TO AIR FRIDAY, DEC. 20

Josh Groban Hosts and Performs on the Special, with Additional Performances by James Bay, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly and The War And Treaty

CBS presents JOSH GROBAN & FRIENDS GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, an entertainment special celebrating the transformative power of family during the holiday season, to air Friday, Dec. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs)*.

Hosted and executive produced by Josh Groban, the special features a new format combining compelling stories, music, comedy and a live adoption on stage, celebrating the creation of a new family. Musical performances include holiday classics, new releases and original duets with Groban and his guests, including James Bay, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly and The War And Treaty.

"I am honored and excited to host a show with friends old and new to celebrate the unity and togetherness of the holidays. It's especially important because it will spread the importance of adoption and will feature the most incredible kids. I can't wait for everyone to watch with their families, sing along and hopefully make room in their hearts and homes for a child who needs one," said Groban.

For the last quarter-century, the award-winning HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS has shined a light on the thousands of American children in foster care, and has inspired tens of thousands of adoptions, moving children into loving forever families. JOSH GROBAN & FRIENDS GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS continues its legacy of showcasing the transformative power of adoption, the true meaning of family and the magic of Christmas as seen through a child's eyes. The special filmed in the Bram Goldsmith Theater at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Beverly Hills.

JOSH GROBAN & FRIENDS GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is produced by Triage Entertainment and Goldsmith Entertainment. Josh Groban, Karen Mack, Stu Schreiberg, Stephen Kroopnick, Marilyn Seabury and Diarmuid Quinn are the executive producers. Jennifer Perry, Nicole Cadena and Kelly Brock are producers.
