Willie Geist brings Sunday Sitdown to Music City
NBC’s Willie Geist is taking his Sunday Sitdown series on the road for the first time, bringing a live taping to Nashville on January 19 at City Winery. The episode will feature country superstar Luke Combs as Geist’s guest and offers fans a rare chance to see the Sunday Today personality in an intimate live format.
Event details and tickets
The live show includes a VIP option that grants access to a pre-show reception where guests can meet and take a photo with Geist. Some VIP levels are already sold out, but general admission tickets remain available. For ticket info and updates, visit the official Sunday Sitdown Live page: today.com/sundaysitdownlive.
Why Nashville?
Geist — a Vanderbilt University graduate — called Nashville “like a second home,” saying it was the natural next stop after live tapings in New York. He noted that when he previously brought Sunday Sitdown to New York with comedian Nate Bargatze, fans traveled from across the country, and he expects a similar turnout in Music City.
What to expect from the show
Sunday Sitdown Live aims to pull back the curtain on the conversation, inviting viewers into the room to ask questions and be part of the experience. The format combines one-on-one conversation with fan interaction and live audience energy, creating a more intimate look at guests like Luke Combs, who will discuss his music and career.
Quotes
“We wanted to invite our viewers into the room with us and get kind of see how the sausage is made, ask some questions, be an interactive part of the conversation,” Geist said, explaining the decision to host a live edition in Nashville.
