Anchored by Robin Roberts With the Award-Winning Team of ABC News Anchors and Correspondents

After an unprecedented year that few will forget, ABC News presents "The Year: 2020," looking back at the events that defined the last 12 months, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the presidential election, as well as the pop-culture trends and highlights that got us through. Robin Roberts anchors the 10th anniversary of the two-hour special that airs TUESDAY, DEC. 29 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.

"The Year: 2020" covers the COVID-19 pandemic and its massive impact on the economy, travel and tourism; Hollywood, professional sports, and working and school from home; the frontline workers and healthcare heroes who put their lives on the line to help others; the presidential election and the record voter turnout, history-making results and President Trump's hindrance of the transition of power; historic cultural movements like Black Lives Matter and cancel culture; pop-culture phenomena like "Tiger King" and celebrity marriages, babies and break-ups.
