Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve- other networks starting their own NYE celebrations in different cities to compete?

NBC, CBS, PBS have all had NYE celebration shows since at least 1980.

Guy Lombardo

PBS has one? They were showing some special last night.

Shawnie Mendes used to present as male?

American terrestrial television channels all copy each other. They all have the same basic schedule of morning news, then talk shows and court shows (maybe what soaps and game shows there still are), local news, national news, prime time 8 to 11, late news, late talk show. It’s really odd and very American that they’re so regimented. It follows they’d all do essentially the same thing for NYE.

Speaking of talk shows I see Jennifer Hudson has one. When are they going to stop trying to make her happen?

Karamo has one on CW

Dick Clark is fuckin' DEAD!

The only way they can compete with that is by finally shoving Andy and Anderson off the scaffolding at 11:55pm.

It’s still named after him r8 because he started it. Ryan Seacrest hosts it now

R9 Fine. Throw HIM off a roof, then.

Matter of fact, let's make this the new NYE tradition. Every year, a new and reviled celebrity hosts Rockin' Eve for a sole appearance, and at the end of the festivities, he or she gets chucked over the side and the Times Square crowd cheers and tears them apart for souvenirs.

I'd watch that. Everyone in America would watch that.

Dick Clark's NYRE started on NBC, but moved to ABC a few years later.

Seriously, R11? I never knew that.

MTV used to do a NYE show years ago back in the days when they still gave a shit about music.

Everybody loves Miley Cyrus and wanted to see her; a singer with much more talent than Patti LuPone. And Pitbull? Classic New Year's entertainment; he's been on the top of the charts for many years. But of course, the #1 star in the galaxy is Ryan Seacrest. He's the country's pride, because he's so masculine, unlike those two mincers on CNN. But, where are the blacks? Why is everyone white? Have we heard from Jada yet?

I vaguely recall it being on NBC. Dick Clark has such an association with ABC given that Bandstand was produced there for so many years and I think the Pyramid game he used to host was on ABC too. I recall he used to fly back to NY to shoot Pyramid there, since it was still based there for some reason long after all the NY game shows had left for LA in the early 70s. God, I’m old.

Anyhow Guy Lombardo will always be Mr. New Years for people of a certain age (who’ve mostly experienced their last New Year’s Eves by now).

Cheap to produce. Big audience.

I remember back when Guy Lombardo and Dick Clark were basically the only two options we had on New Year's Eve. IIRC, shortly after both shows ended, all of the TV stations signed off for the night, so the only thing you could do was go to bed. Times have truly changed.

MTV did have a NYE thing for a while and then they brought it back in the early 00s for a brief time, when TRL was still a thing.

They brought it back in 2000 or 2001. Carson Daly was the main host and the other VJs co-hosted.

Here is a rare video from the 2001 countdown. Carson was with Tara Reid during this time (as you see in the video).

I’m with R10.
