Title: New pic of Dick...
Post by: bclark71 on December 07, 2005, 08:51:10 PM
I'd say Dick looks just dandy.

It said, that Ryan Seacrest, will be sole host of the New Year's Rockin' Eve Special Next year, Is Dick retiring or something?

Upon further inspection, besides the fact that the photo looks VERY photoshopped, the gallery contained within that link has about 20 photos. Only one has a picture of Mr. Clark, the same as the above link. I'm thinking its not a recent photo.

There's no way Dick is that much taller than Hillary Duff, is there?

Not unless Hilary is sub-five-feet.

My guess is she's sitting on a stool.

EDIT: There is a picture of them standing. She must be REALLY short.

It saddens me, because as much as I enjoy watching Dick Clark on New Year's Eve, I shall have to plunge a knife into my eardrums so as not to have to hear Miss Duff.

As a somewhat atypical teenager, I have to agree with you 150% there, Chris.

...But she is hawt. ;-)

I don't want to _hear_ her. I never said I wouldn't hit it. :)

btw: According to IMDB, Hilary is 5'5" versus Dick's 5'9" and Ryan Seacrest's 5'7".

EDIT: Looking at the pictures, this can't be right. Eh, whatever.

I'll disagree. (Now who gets the square?)  I think that is a contemporary picture of the three of them together.  Just a hunch, but Dick has the facial expression of someone who's trying very hard to work muscles that don't work like they used to.

Just a hunch, this is, but I suspect that for all intents and purposes, Ry-Ry will be the host for this telecast. If Dick Clark has anything beyond a cameo on this, I'll be surprised. Happily surprised, of course, but if we get anything beyond a few words from him, it won't be unexpected.
It may be reminiscent of the Orville Redenbacher spots where we just saw and never heard from Orville in his later years beyond a clearly very difficult to say, "Thank you" in one of his last.
We shall see. I will be ecstatic to be mistaken.

The announcement of Ryan coming on board did say he will take over New Year's Rockin' Eve eventually, but it was never said that Dick will step down after this year or next.  Two more things: Hilary looked hawtter in her early Lizzie days, IMO; and that was the horrendous choice of subject line.  Half our minds just went in the gutter.  (The other half are there all the time. :-) )

She wasn''t too young for that a-hole Joel Madden. If I were Mr. Duff and I still cared a little about my daughter's well-being, I'd be after the both of 'em with a frigging shotgun.

This thread is suddenly about dick. I thought it was about Dick.

A little more truth about his condition in The New York Daily News (http://\"http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/373432p-317477c.html\")

Sad as it is, it comes closer to supporting what I've been lead to believe all along. That he most likely will be sitting or propped-up like they did FDR. No handheld mic. Instead a lav, boom or that headset.

I'm sure Dick is very concerned about how he appears in this first (and last?) appearance since his stroke. Especially since it's live without the safety net of tape. Let's hope he handles it like the on-air pro he has always been.

This will be the first time I actually pay attention to TV on New Years Eve since Ben Grauer!

If they use the setup at ABC News' Times Square studios as they have the last few years, then how hard could it be to give both Dick and Ryan stools or chairs behind a desk/podium?  It's obvious Dick and probably Ryan too won't be braving the elements with a half million of their closest friends outside, so just accomodate to a setup as such.  I have no doubt that Mr. Clark will do the same solid job he's always done.

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?

On an extra aside: With Ryan signing on with Dick Clark Productions, which for all intents and purposes he has, is it fair to presume that the talked about new American Bandstand is going to be helmed by 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.

I had no idea such a project was being considered, but it certainly seems like Seacrest would be the logical choice considering the radio gigs he has now.

Well I'm doubting it'll take off but according to some media related sites a new version of Bandstand is possibly starting up in summer or fall of '06.
