It's just not going to be the same without him. Get well, Mr. Clark!

I just hope this is an asterisk and not the end of an era. God bless Mr. Clark in his recovery!

I haven't watched the New Year's Eve count-down in many years. Best wishes to Dick Clark.

t's just not going to be the same without him. I agree. I've watched every single one as far back as I can remember.

Dick Clark is a holdover from an era when rock 'n' roll was simply teenage fun and hijinks (yes, including some backseat action), not morose pseudo-philosopy and crude sexual exploitation.
To: JellyJam
As previously announced, singer Ashlee Simpson will host the West Coast portion of the show. Oh for pity's sake! She gonna do a bad lipsynch for us on New Year's Eve too?! Sheesh...

New year's countdown
I go back to the days of Ben Grauer on top of the Allied Chemical Building in Times Square.

I agree. I've watched every single one as far back as I can remember. My wife always rolls her eyes when I say, "It's time to turn on 'Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve.' " She thinks it's hokey. Call me a sentimentalist, but he's the Guy Lombardo of our generation. :-)

I remember the first time I watched it and getting cheesed that the "Ball" didn't go all the way to the street. I grew up in California where 20 stories is a high rise.

Despite all his setbacks, he's still looking pretty good. :)

I have a video of Guy Lombardo ringing in 1958.
I watch it every year.
Can't wait for 1959.

1959 ... the year I was born. "It was a very good year ..."

Get well soon, Dick, from an old fart who remembers the old "American Bandstand" from Philly... |

NY Eve has not been the same since Guy Lombardo passed on. I used to love watching his show and laughing at all those folks in their silly hats. Plus the "hokey" old music had its appeal. In recent years I have watched Dick Clark and thought he did a good job, though I would change the channel whenever the crappy music segments were on. This year I think Regis will do well.

It's just not going to be the same without him.I second that. I have a difficult time picturing Regis Philbin at the helm.....
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Mr. Clark. God Bless.
