[quote name=\'FOXSportsFan\' date=\'Dec 10 2005, 03:58 PM\']On an aside: I don't know if other ABC affiliates have done this, but locally during WPVI's 5 p.m. news on NYE, they usually have had an interview with Dick from his perch at Times Square. I'm presuming it's an affiliate thing, but I also like to think that hey it could be just a 'PVI thing because of course Philadelphia helped cement Dick as a legend thanks to some show called "American Bandstand". Is it likely that affiliates will get to interview Dick prior to the show itself or will they be relegated to Ryan?

It's an affiliate thing. And ABC is damn good when it comes to shilling out the product....i had the pleasure of interviewing Clark via satellite a few years ago...unfortunately, at the same time i was interviewing Jimmy Kimmel, who, without a script, is a dry as a piece of cardboard. And because Kimmel was hosting the American Music Awards (Clark produces), he got most of the questions. Or took control of em...
Lousy interview. Bigger regret : not on my save tape.
Back on subject, I would SERIOUSLY be stunned if they offer Dick up for this...Ryan, yes. Hilary, yes. Dick, doubt it.
