Country superstar Dolly Parton, a close friend and collaborator of Rogers, will grace the stage for a special tribute where she will share moving memories of her late companion and perform a string of songs that builds up to a sentimental finale with Rogers.

“Kenny Rogers’ enormous impact on Country music was matched only by the love all the artists and fans showed Kenny on this incredible night. We are so thrilled to share this special with his friends, family and fans all around the world as he will remain forever in our hearts,” Executive Producers Keith Wortman and Ken Levitan shared.

Kenny Rogers: All In For The Gambler, a production of Blackbird Presents, will air on the CBS Television Network and is also available to stream the event live on demand on Paramount+.
