!!! Oh My Goodness !!! Billy Joel is gonna have a concert special on CBS in April? How exciting Icecream and I wonder if it's gonna be shown on Paramount+ as well? Because if it is i'm definitely adding the concert to my Paramount+ queue so I can see it anytime I'd like

Stupid sports! April 14 is the weekend of The Masters, which usually has a long overrun.

The concert was taped last night.

As for the Masters, put your money on Scottie Scheffler.

Is this Billy Joel concert gonna be shown on Paramount+ on Monday? Also how long is this concert gonna be? Because if it's gonna be a long concert I might skip seeing my reruns of Nickelodeon Guts every Monday and watch Billy Joel's concert instead

Concert length is 2 hours. I don't watch on Paramount+, but they probably have it the next day like everything else.

Because of the overrun, tonight's new episode of Tracker will now start at 8:31/7:31. Which means the Billy Joel concert starts at 9:31 eastern time, 8:31 central time. Pacific and Mountain time zones should start at their regularly scheduled time.

Horrible editing by CBS, Piano Man was cut off for local coverage at the end of the 2 hour scheduled time. I had figured two hours wasn't enough time for a concert, as much as I like Tracker they should have delayed it a week and air the whole concert in a longer allotted time.

[Hawkee]

How was the Billy Joel concert Icecream? Was it any good and did Billy Joel look so handsome as ever? Also did he sing An Innocent Man in the concert too? Because if he does sing An Innocent Man in the concert it will be worth watching because that is my favorite Billy Joel song

Yes, An Innocent Man was part of it. But CBS did a horrible job editing the concert, cut off Piano Man during the song when the scheduled two hours was over.

Billy Joel Special will Air Again after Abrupt Cut-off on CBS
by Aliza Chasan
April 15, 2024


CBS said it will re-air its broadcast of Billy Joel's 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden after it was cut short for some viewers on Sunday.

Joel was in the middle of singing "Piano Man" when local news began in some parts of the country.




"Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, Joel's performance, filmed on March 28, will air again in its entirety on April 19 at 9 p.m. ET," CBS said on Monday.

"A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones," Julie Holland, CBS's Vice President of Communications, said in a statement. "We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

Fans can also watch Joel's performance on Paramount+.

It was all part of the CBS master plan to get everyone to subscribe to Paramount Plus.
