Do we know if Dick will be at the NY's celebration this year? He sold his production company, so would it now be up to the new owners if they want Dick Clark there?
Based on what Randy said, if Dick does return, it'll likely be in short segments again. There are conflicting reports, were Dick Clark's segments in the last two years ACTUALLY live, or pre-taped? It LOOKS like it's live, but one give away that it might not be was that last year, one of the correspondents said "back to Ryan and Dick", but she apparently wasn't aware that Dick Clark had left by that point. Dick's speech had definitely improved from '06 to '07, but he still has trouble getting out full sentences without running out of breath. The exchange between Ryan and Dick last year was funny and also touching, and I'd like to see more of that. I was concerned if Dick could still hold a conversation and that segment proved that he's as conversational as he always was.

I don't know if it was supposed to be a live on the street report, or from the music spot, which was always taped in advance. The joke was the music was taped in July.
