This is the first music concert ever held at Notre Dame – the Indiana stadium, not the Paris cathedral. And it’s a live TV production starring country star Garth Brooks, and an event that seemingly could have been mounted decades ago.

There’s been so much news on the President Trump front this week, it’s not unreasonable to expect, or at least hope for, a guest appearance by Alec Baldwin in the cold open of tonight’s new installment.
