After their Monday night concert last week that crashed Facebook with 3.5 millions fans watching, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will be putting on a show from home that will air as a CBS TV special, Garth & Trisha Live! Wednesday night April 1, 2020 at 9:00 pm ET.

Garth will fill us in on details about the special – including how you can make a request for Garth & Trisha Live! – when he steps “Inside Studio G” tonight (3/30) on Facebook (7:00pm ET).

CBS's Executive Vice President of Specials, Music and Live Events Jack Sussman told CBS News, "After we saw Garth and Trisha crash Facebook, we reached out to them about bringing this Studio G to a larger audience in a safe and exciting way. With Garth and Trisha coupled with the power of broadcast television, anything can happen, making this an event not to be missed."

Their CBS special will not have a live audience, the crew will practice social distancing and the network said they will be taking extensive safety precautions in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

The couple and CBS will donate $1 million to charities for coronavirus relief.
