You got to know when to hold ’em and know when show ’em. CBS is following that paraphrased lyric’s advice with
Kenny Rogers: All In for the Gambler, an hourlong special featuring big names performing the late singer’s hits.
It’s set to air at 9 p.m. Thursday, September 23, on the network and Paramount+.
Chris Stapleton, Idina Menzel, Lady A, Lionel Richie, Little Big Town and Reba McEntire will play songs by country-pop legend, who died last year at 81.
Dolly Parton also will take the stage to share touching memories and anecdotes about her longtime friend and duet partner, performing a series of songs that culminate in an emotional finale featuring Rogers himself.
The special was filmed at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in 2017.
