CBS Sets DOLLY PARTON’S PET GALA Special

DOLLY PARTON’S PET GALA, a two-hour variety special including performances of Parton’s songs and a doggy fashion show, will air on CBS on Wednesday, February 21.

According to the network, “Parton, one of the most revered multi-hyphenates of all time, will be joined on the pink carpet by co-host Jane Lynch, with runway correspondents Kelly Osbourne and Rachel Smith. The special event will feature performances of Parton classics, including ‘9 to 5,’ ‘I Will Always Love You,’ ‘Puppy Love’ and ‘Jolene,’ with Parton and country hitmakers Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Chris Janson and KC of KC and the Sunshine Band performing.” Additional singers will be announced later.

“I have hosted or co-hosted many shows throughout my career, but I have never been more excited about co-hosting a show than I am about being part of this pet gala!” said Parton in a statement. “I love animals. I’ve got all kinds, and of course, I’ve always had little dogs around, and big ones! We’re going to have some of all kinds and colors on the show, and there is nothing more fun to me than when little animals do what they do best, and I’m looking forward to it! There is so much fun stuff, and I know all the animal lovers out there are going to love this show.”

Additionally, stars like YOUNG SHELDON’s Iain Armitage, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Margaret Cho, Neil Patrick Harris, Carson Kressley, Jim Nantz and Jessica Simpson will appear on the show with their pets.
