It will be hard to beat the opening ceremonies but the Paris 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony (NBC, 3 p.m.) is expected to have performances from Billie Ellis, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, H.E.R. and the French bands Air and Phoenix.
The official announcement says the event will feature more than 100 “performers, acrobats, dancers and circus artists” — who may well create tableaus that will rattle ill-informed right wingers as much as the opening ceremony.
Handing off the next games to Los Angeles will likely mean an influx of Hollywood stars, including some who have already been hanging around Paris, including Tom Cruise, Ariana Grande, Greta Gerwig and of course Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav. Like the opening ceremony, it will be repeated in full in primetime at 7.
