Brad Paisley Thinks He’s Special

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on ABC

Brad Paisley is bringing his bona fides as a host to an evening of music, comedy, and more with this hour-long variety special filmed (where else?) in Nashville. The special will feature appearances by the Jonas Brothers, Carrie Underwood, Peyton Manning, and others, with plenty of surprises, heart, humor, and country music in store. It should be “time well wasted” indeed. —Tyler Aquilina
