Billy Joel Special Will Re-air Tonight on CBS, Scored High Numbers on Sunday Before Incident

Share

Billy Joel’s terrific special will air again tonight at 9pm on CBS.

This re-airing is to make up for Sunday’s incident at the end of the show when CBS cut in for local news while Billy was singing “Piano Man.”

Viewers were outraged, for a good reason. How stupid could a TV network be in 2024? We found out.

As it turns out, the special scored 5.73 million viewers Sunday and basically won the night. The show was so good it’s worth seeing again tonight — especially the end!

Let’s hope CBS has sent a message to all affiliates not to cut in tonight even if Trump admits to everything at 10:50pm. We can wait!
