DICK CLARK'S NEW YEAR'S ROCKIN' EVE 2008
ABC, 11:30 p.m. ET
This is the 100th anniversary of the ball drop in Times Square - and even if there is a brand new, energy-efficient ball with 9,576 LED lights being dropped this year, it's still a tradition. And Dick Clark, once the new kid on this Times Square block (there was a time, kids, when "Rockin' Eve" was a network's hopelessly transparent titular lure to attract younger viewers), is scheduled to make another post-stroke appearance. It's Ryan Seacrest who will be carrying the ball, so to speak, with Clark in New York, while singer Fergie performs, and hosts, from Hollywood. |
