Jan 1, (THAINDIAN NEWS) There are some people who do not get bogged down by age or ailments. Dick Clark is among them for sure. He is inseparable from Times Square New Years Eve ceremony. He suffered a stroke a few years back but that failed to dent his determination. He takes part in the ceremony with assistance from Ryan Seacrest after 2004. New York City has a tradition of celebrating new year with elan and gusto. Dick Clark is a firm believer in the tradition and he wants to keep it alive as long as he can.
The New Year Eve celebration in New York can not be complete without Dick Clark’s video. He can not host the show outdoors like earlier and has been replaced by Ryan Seacrest, a worthy successor indeed. Dick Clark provides the comments for the show from the studio. People wait for the huge New Year ball dropping and after that the focus shifts towards taped musical tracks. The program made its debut in 1972 in NBC but from 1974 it was taken up by ABC network. Since Dick Clark fell ill in 2004 Regis Philbin stepped into his shoes for that year. Except for the year 2004 Dick Clark has always been a part of the New Year program.
With the passage of time many things have changed in new year celebrations but Dick Clark’s appeal has not eroded for the residents of New York city. It gives them a cause to rejoice to watch the program in TV or attend it live. This year’s program has been spectacular as well.
