Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are set to perform during “NBC’s New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly.” In addition to the rappers, My Chemical Romance will perform a number, while U2’s Bono and The Edge will dish with the former MTV VJ about writing the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” In a statement , Daly said the show’s lineup will make for an exciting evening: “With performances from Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and My Chemical Romance, this will truly be an energetic and celebratory night.” Daly said he’s also looking forward to having a late-night drink with a few rock stars. “Sitting down and drinking champagne with Bono and The Edge is on my ‘bucket list’ — so getting to do that is awesome!” he said. “Today” show correspondents Natalie Morales and Amy Robach will help Daly with countdown festivities as they report live from New York’s Times Square. And from one TV special to the next, MTV will also celebrate the New Year with “MTV New Year’s Bash,” which kicks off at 11 p.m. ET . Comedian Whitney Cummings will host and celebrity guests include “Jersey Shore” stars “Snooki” and Pauly D. Flo Rida will hit the stage with two performances during the live, hour-long broadcast, while Snooki will climb into a ball that will be lowered into Times Square.
