I agree... New Year's Eve just wouldn't be the same without Dick Clark, as I've watched him for seemingly my entire life host the show live from Times Square. It's comforting and touching to see him there and to watch him give his wife of well over fifty years a kiss each year at the stroke of midnight. We all realize that he will not be around forever, but it certainly is nice to have the shared experience of having his presence in Times Square as long as he is still alive and kicking to ring in a New Year... and yet another new decade...

I think that Dick Clark do his New Year's program until he decides to retire. Like a lot of you have said there aren't many icons like him around anymore.

Ryan Seacrest should take over this year.

I think Dick played it good by having Ryan Seacrest as his sidekick. I think they work well together and I'll be seeing them together this year again.

The Show would not be the same if Dick Clark was not on.

spunkygirl · 12-06-2009, 09:57 PM

I think Dick should continue on till HE feels he can't do it anymore. For all we know doing this might be therapeutic for him in alot of ways. I know when he doesn't do it, it's just not the same.

My sister in law once joked that the one year he didn't do it, the ball was a few seconds late dropping LOL

As far as I am concerned, Ryan Seacrest isnt fit enough to shine Dick Clark's shoes.

I apologize for my comment. And how difficult was it when Johnny Carson left and Jay Leno took over?

I haven't watched the Tonight Show since Johnny Carson left but it's not the same thing. Johnny voluntarily left. It was his decision to retire. If Dick Clark decides on his own that he doesn't want to do it anymore then I'm fine with that but nobody should force him out.

What are you apologizing for??? You are entitled to your views just like anybody else.
