Garrison Keillor of "A Prairie Home Companion" hosts a live New Year's Eve broadcast from Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. The festive GREAT PERFORMANCES telecast will be all the merrier due to the Opry's role in providing Keillor with his original inspiration for an eclectic radio show that went on to become the public radio favorite that it is today. Together with some surprise special guests, Keillor and "sound effects guy" Fred Newman, Rich Dworsky and Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and other series regulars will bid "Auld Land Syne" to 2006 for a New Year's countdown like no other.
