Hope Dick recovers quickly, and is able to do the show next year. I think Regis will do a fairly good job as host myself.

Wow. It must be worse than we originally thought, then. That is really disappointing.

(At the same time, I kinda thought it was the beginning of the end when they started putting Dick indoors in the Y2K studio instead of out on top of the building. Regis will do an excellent job, I have no doubt of that, but he won't be Dick Clark.)

Man. I'm bummed now. Dick's The Man. This isn't supposed to happen.

Sorry to say, publicists sometimes downplay these kinds of things.

So here's the interesting question: Has the studio portion of Rockin' Eve been taped yet? If so, how do they handle all of those pre-taped pitches to the live Dick Clark? Voiceover? Do they get the hosts in to hastily re-shoot the pitches?

Isn't Ashlee Simpson the West Coast host? If so, she'll just lip-sync the new name. Shouldn't be a problem for her.

As reported by ABC Radio News last night... Dick Clark is still in the hospital.

According to Mark Evanier, it was taped back in October. Here's what he had to say on his blog about the matter.

I think Regis as always will do a fine job... as a caretaker host. If Dick is not able to return next year, brace yourselves for the annoucement of Ryan Seacrest as the new permanent host. Remember where you heard it first. ;)

Yep, but Daly's show is airing in prime-time (opposite the prime-time portion of NYRE).  Leno and Conan are doing their usual shows (Leno doing a live show from Studio 3 and Conan marking New Year's in the Central Time Zone) later on.

I have not seen word yet on whether Letterman's doing anything.

It surprises me to think Regis would sub-host Dick's NYRE show this year.  What I heard on Fox News Channel last week was leaning towards Jimmy Kimmel.  I'm sure Reege will do a bang-up job.  After all, he's familliar with the New York area & Times Square no doubt.  But come 2006, what'll become NYRE if Dick Clark says he's through with this gig, then what?  Maybe a young entertainer will fill his shoes or maybe NYRE will dissolve into nothing when Clark hangs it up.

October - wow.  I knew it was shot in advance but I always assumed it was done in the last half of December.  Even if the musical acts wouldn't be available New Year's Eve (as the original link states), you'd figure they wouldn't do a holiday show so far in advance.  You live and learn!

Tom Bergeron would be a decent successor to Dick if and when he hangs up his NYE hosting duties(and I think Dick will be back next year). Regis is almost as old as Dick. The Dick Clark Productions website alluded to in the American Bandstand Grill thread still says Dick will be hosting NYRE this year, they need to change that.
