This year’s NYC co-hosts attend Big Ball Brunch together

Ryan Seacrest has recently been getting fans excited for the Sunday night event, sharing rehearsal footage of him and Rita Ora on his Instagram Story.

Together, the two went to the Big Ball Brunch on Friday morning and posed for pictures in front of the Times Square Ball.

Ryan was spotted standing on the show’s set, dressed in a double-breasted peacoat, pants, and brown dress shoes.

Rita, his co-host, looked amazing in a wacky yellow jacket with black feathers adorning the neck, hem, and cuffs of both sleeves.

The two were eager to start the celebrations for the weekend together.

The tradition of the ball drop in Times Square

New Year’s Eve revelers first gathered at Times Square in 1904, but it wasn’t until 1907 that the New Year’s Eve Ball first descended from the top of Times Square.

The Ball has seven variations that have been created to herald the new year.

With the exception of 1942 and 1943, when the ceremony was postponed because of the “dimout” of lights in New York City during the war, the Ball has been dropped every year since 1907.

In spite of this, people continued to assemble in Times Square to welcome the New Year with a moment of silence and the chiming of bells from sound trucks parked at the base of the tower.
