Other notable performances included Cher, Sugar Ray, and Shania Twain, who all took to the stage to perform their hits. As the night wore on and the new millennium approached, the energy in the crowd became palpable, with viewers at home feeling as if they were part of the celebration.

As the clock struck midnight in different time zones across the country, the show provided coverage of celebrations from around the country, including live feeds from cities such as Miami, Nashville, and Los Angeles. The coverage brought the nation together, giving viewers a sense of shared joy and optimism for the year ahead.

As the night came to an end, Clark bid viewers farewell and thanked them for tuning in. The broadcast was a fitting tribute to the end of one era and the beginning of another, with the show continuing to bring joy and entertainment to audiences each year.
