In a throwback to the days of Sonny & Cher and The Carol Burnett Show, the program will aim to "breathe new life into the variety format," showcasing the couple's singing and comedic talents in a series of sketches and musical performances with such guests as Jewel, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Kenny Rogers, baseball Hall of Fame star Johnny Bench, Mr. T, and The Muppets stars Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

First announced several months back and the first tangible result of the his and her development deals that the couple recently signed with the struggling network, the special's musical performances will include a duet with Jessica and Jewel, who will sing her classic song, "Who Will Save Your Soul," and a duet with Nick and Babyface singing the Stevie Wonder classic, "For Once in My Life." Jessica will also perform "Islands in the Stream" with the legendary Kenny Rogers.
