“Brad Paisley Thinks He’s Special” will air 7 p.m. Dec. 3 on the network, reports The Tennessean. The country singer hosted and executive produced the variety show, which was taped at Nashville’s War Memorial Auditorium in September.

Specials guests include Hoot & the Blowfish, The Jonas Brothers, Kelsea Ballerini, Tim McGraw, Darius Rucker and more. The television special will also spotlight Paisley’s hit songs, trademark sense of humor, musical performances, sentimental moments and surprises.

The country star and Grand Ole Opry member has had hits including “Mud on the Tires,” “Online,” “Alcohol,” “When I Get Where I’m Going” and most recently “My Miracle.” He wrote 21 of his 24 No. 1 hits, and his 2019 world tour just completed eight sold-out shows in Europe where he holds the sales record for a headlining country artist in all the venues he played on the tour.
