(There goes the paycheck of a gaggle of plastic surgeons....)

Ryan Seacrest has been groomed for that job for at least 5 years now. The show will go on and we won't have to listen to " thirfteen, twelved, nine, eight, eleveln, four, six, two, one, happy dew year"

That's bit disrespectful, don't you think?

Dick Clark out, Seacrest in!

That's bit disrespectful, don't you think?

Not in the least....Mr Clark has been barely audible for years and quite frankly should have called it a day after his stroke so as not to become a caricature of his former self.

Some people just don't know when to call it a day and must bear the consequences but I wish him God Speed.

 

 

That's bit disrespectful, don't you think?

i think the more disrespectful thing was the network actually putting him on the air after he had his first attack. It was totally embarrassing to him. He looked horrible and it was painful to watch...and they kept on doing it for a few more years.

RIP Mr Clark. Its has been sad seeing him decline over the past few years and still being paraded around like a " weekend at bernies" movie. He should havr called it quits years ago.

Yep, you're right about that.

Agreed. I was more bothered by the fact that he accepted. I think the network offered it out of pity, but I could be wrong. I agree that he was horrible and should have never returned, but feel we should still show the guy a bit of respect for what he did throughout the years. That's all I'm saying.

That's bit disrespectful, don't you think?

 

I have nothing but the best wishes for his family, rest in peace Dick Clark. His NYE special was however, painful to watch. He should have just appeared, smiled, gave best wishes and handed the torch off to Mr Seacrest. I grew up with him bringing in the New Year so I watched out of a sense of tradition, even though it was difficult.

RIP Dick Clark.

 

Yeah , it would have been better if he had more of a small cameo every year instead of going through the whole thing . He was unintelligible by the end of the show the last few years. It was a train wreck and it was sad and I did think he should have retired from the countdown and any major part of the show . Made me feel the same way I felt watching my Grandfather stumble and fumble while trying to do things he use to be good at.

 

But , that sentiment can be expressed without initating or poking fun at a stroke victim's speech. And I am not talking about here necessarily. The amount of people on social networking that had a grand time making fun of his speech after the show was disheartening. A mature person would say something like " time to hang it up, he had a good run of it" or something like that. Poking fun at the way someone talks or someones disability to get your point across is what kids do in the schoolyard.

 

And anyone for anyone who has had a loved one have a stroke , hearing someone poke fun at that type of speech is very painful.

 

If he wanted to do the show despite his condition I'm sure it was too hard for people who cared about him and worked with him all these years to just say no.

but feel we should still show the guy a bit of respect for what he did throughout the years. That's all I'm saying.

 

Hosted a couple game shows, radio programs, and Rockin' New Years Eve. Seriously...who the eff cares? When did he do anything that even matters? Yes I have respect for the fact that a man died, it's a shame. But let's not act like he's more important than others just because he's been on tv.

Yep, I agree. It was painful. I always felt it would have been best for him to just move on and put a period to that end of his career. Oh well, he will be missed by many. He was such a postive influence to music and bringing people, of all makes, together. RIP Mr. Clark

Who said anything of the sort?

Is this a sign of the apocalypse? No New Years Eve in 2012? We shall see...
