When DC finally passes or isn't able to handle any more broadcasts, shouldn't they just go ahead and pass the torch onto Ryan Seacrest, including perhaps naming it after him?
I say he deserves it. I know he's the target of a lot of jokes, but he can't be any more polarizing than Dick was in his prime, seeing as their public personas are so similar (clean cut, charming yet totally inoffensive).

In the past couple years, I've been under the impression that Seacrest is going to be the host once Clark leaves/passes. Personally, I have no problem with it. He does a good job with it (from what I've seen), I agree with their personas being similar.

I was surprised to see he was still hosting, especially looking like he did.
Also weird seeing the Spanish channels, and seeing Don Francisco not change much over the same time period.

They absolutely should, and I bet that's what they have in mind for when Dick does pass.

I think it was announced years ago that this would be the case.

Yes, this is a go. I wish Dick Clark was well enough to still go out in the crowd and had his speech back, I'm sure it would be so tempting for him to shout out a big "f*** you" to his critics and everyone who made fun of him.
Actually it probably isn't to him. He's a cool, classy guy, but I wouldn't blame him a bit if he did.

While we're on the topic of this show, did anyone else watch it and cringe at how terrible Lady Gaga was? Good lord.

Clark needs to stop burying Seacrest, give up his spot, and put Ryan over.

I would've, but I didn't pay attention to the TV until a few minutes until the ball dropped. Then I immediately flipped it when they announced LMFAO would be next, because that's not the first musical experience I want in 2012. |

I think once Clark dies, they should just name the show "New Year's Rockin' Eve". Once Seacrest has hosted the gig for at least 2 decades, then they can name it after him.

I still maintain that the Futurama pilot should have had Dick Clark hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve instead of Dick Clark's Head.

I dunno her performance and interview after the ball dropped bothered me. The fact it was outside could be why I didn't like the performance and she did that "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!" line. I dunno maybe it's just me. |

I dunno, they already have Ryan's name on it as it is. I don't hate Seacrest, I just don't care. Maybe if i grew up with him I might, or if I was older, I'd be pissed that Guy Lombardo doesn't get mentioned much
