JJ’s (Micah Fowler) new taste
of independence, enabled by
Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough)
becoming his full-time helper,
worries Maya (Minnie Driver)
in this episode. When JJ misses
an appointment, Maya quickly
lays the blame on Kenneth —
seeing it as a means to get him
out of the picture. Jimmy (John
Ross Bowie) doesn’t want Dylan
(Kyla Kenedy) to be so ac-
commodating to others. Marin
Hinkle (“Two and a Half Men”)
guest stars. Mason Cook also
stars.

Simply put, it wouldn’t be Dec.
31 without this. “American Idol”
alum Seacrest is back in New
York’s Times Square for the
descent of the illuminated globe
— but before that magic moment
arrives at midnight, also to be
shown from New Orleans for the
first time, there’s plenty of en-
tertainment to fill the primetime
portion. Mariah Carey, DNCE,
Thomas Rhett, Gloria Estefan and
Jenny McCarthy join Seacrest
on location, while Fergie again
hosts the Hollywood segments.
