 For all the music & fun he's brought us  For all the New Years he's rung in with us  For all the money he's given away with Ed McMahon  A big Thank You to Dick Clark! Appreciate! |

I'd also like to toss in appreciation that he's mastered the technique of visual immortality...that man ages slower than a tortoise.

Will he be on the countdown this year? Yes, though he will pretty much maintain the same duties that he did last year. Also, the name of show has been slightly changed to "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" to reflect the change of Ryan Seacrest being the co-host with Dick. |

Will he be on the countdown this year? Yea, he'll be behind the desk again. It'd be great if he could recover and get back in with the crowd, but He's happy just to be there, so that's cool-we're happy to have him |

I love Dick, always gives me a lot of pleasure late at night on New Years. How Dick has managed to remain awesome and vibrant after all these years is a testament to just how good Dick can be.

Then realized just how close I was to disaster... and I figured "Ah What the hell, it's the end of the year" and decided to just feed the evil red version of me on my left shoulder. |

Is anyone under the impression (like I am) that the stroke was in fact not an internal health incident, but rather several decades of time itself catching up to the previously ageless Dick Clark? Will he be on the countdown this year? Yes, though he will pretty much maintain the same duties that he did last year. Also, the name of show has been slightly changed to "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" to reflect the change of Ryan Seacrest being the co-host with Dick. Ryan Seacrest is everywhere.  I hear they're renaming that statue in NYC "Ryan Seacrest's Statue of Liberty." And again with the frowny face |

I always thought that in the Futurama pilot episode, Dick Clark's head should've been replaced with the actual Dick Clark, since he never ages.

Wow...just watched the ball drop & it's just hard seeing what that stroke did to him. It's like he was struggling to talk during the show.
But he did it...he did it for another year. And hopefully, many more to come!

I'm sure that this is a fairly unpopular statement that I'm about to make, but frankly, I wish that Dick Clark would aside completely. I know that he's health as been bad in recent years (it's awfully difficult to recover from a stroke), but having to watch him display difficulty with his speech is an utterly sad and uncomfortable site to watch. It seems like ABC and/or Dick continues to appear on camera because it's simply "the thing to do" regardless of how otherwise appropriate it may be. What point is there to show up, if you're fully aware that you can't perform at a relatively high level anymore?

Besides Dick Clark obviously not knowing "when to say when", the special was filled with shamelessly Disney (who of course, owns ABC) crosspromotional garbage like the Jonas Bros., Demi Levato, and a recap of Miley Cyrus' 16th birthday party at DisneyLand. It just goes to show if given the chance, the Disney totally snork things up. They already did it to the Family Channel, ESPN and ABC Sports. |
