(Midwest airing)[edit]

I believe the Central time zone airs live along with the Eastern time zone. --PsychoJason 07:44, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Central time zone airs live. SNIyer12 20:46, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ABC 2000 Today[edit]

In 1999, ABC 2000 Today, ABC News's coverage of the millennium, canceled the special. SNIyer12 16:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrations elsewhere[edit]

You might want to add information about the celebrations outside of Times Square that are shown on New Year's Rockin' Eve. All the other channels that broadcast New Year's celebrations do as well. -- SNIyer12 20:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Miley Cyrus/Jonas brothers[edit]

There is a bit in here in the 2008 section regarding miley cyrus "hogging the stage" from the jonas brothers because she broke up with one of them. This just seems like childish, immature gossip and I don't think it's noteworthy for this article. 99.237.9.80 (talk) 22:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

certainly not... furthermore, the fact that ABC whored out these kid-brainwashers for an entire show primarily for adults is even more out-of-place.

missing years[edit]

why are we missing 2003 ND 2004. iT SEEMS so strange. Also is ABC perhaps pissed off about airing idol contestants since it could be argued that they boost fox ratings and lower ABC's ratings. It seems like Fox has very low ratings for new year celebration (compared to big dog ABC and NBC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 07:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010 error[edit]

As much as Dick Clark screwed up the count, he DID NOT say happy dew year. I have re-listened 10x times from a high quality link and still say he said it normally. Feel Free to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIyIDBD6RKc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 07:28, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-GAN review question[edit]

https://www.google.ca/search?q=dick+clark%27s+new+year%27s+rockin%27+eve&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1440&bih=809&sa=X&ei=lQ7RUP2CBaLe2AWMnoHgBQ&ved=0CCoQpwUoCw&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1975%2Ccd_max%3A1999&tbm=nws

Why does this article skip from Dick Clark taking over hosting duties, immediately to 2000? I don't expect (or want) a run down of every performer in the intermediate years, but if the program is notable for its longevity, there should be something of interest to say. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:51, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, with that new reference, now we got definitive proof that the death of Guy Lombardo has a direct correlation with when Dick Clark finally surpassed CBS in popularity. That is of course, given that the first few years were essentially a rivalry (the article compared it to The Myth of Sisyphus) until Lombardo's death finally gave him a good chance to seriously make an impact on December 31 forever. ViperSnake151 Talk 02:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added in some very rough bits about the 1980s and 1990s co-hosts and special randomness, like a wedding of firefighters. That's what I had meant in my comment, though it is great that you were able to strengthen the Guy Lombardo correlation. If you wouldn't mind cleaning up my mess, I'll start reviewing the article. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Zanimum (talk · contribs) 21:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC) Okay, so I'll take a look at this. While I look, please clean up the brief overview of the 1980s and 1990s. You don't need to cover them as intensely as you've covered more recent years, in order to get GA status, but my copy paste job and refs need a good scrubbing. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 30 review[edit]

Ref 10 needs cleaning up.
Infobox: For EP and producers, was this for the 2012 broadcast? I'm wondering if this should be clarified.
If the first few were on Queen Mary, was it immediately after that they first filmed in Times Square?
Ref 25: This interview is quoted in the DVD audio commentary?
"the 2006 edition also featured a live performance straight from Times Square by Mariah Carey—the first of its kind in the show's history" Whoa, that blows my mind. Just a comment, not any sort of review suggestion or anything, just stunned.

If I may suggest a long term goal for the article, perhaps a second article called List of performers on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, or List of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest broadcasts, something to record the performers, on-air personalities, that sort of thing in unedited, so that you can start to prune the main article to be more "pow" than prose-form lists. But that's neither here nor there, something for 2013 and beyond.

Appropriate use of images, including only one fair use image with proper fair use rationale, generally well-structured prose, it's nearly ready for GA status. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: "If the first few were on Queen Mary, was it immediately after that they first filmed in Times Square?"; What I'm trying to clarify here is that, it seems as if the "pre-recorded from Hollywood, then the live ball drop in Times Square" format had existed since the beginning. Producers are well, as of now. Also, that Treehouse of Horror X citation got accepted in its own article without a quote (and that one's GA too). But still, GA on New Year's Eve would be an appropriate tribute. ViperSnake151 Talk 03:20, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay, I've been spotty in my time available to the Internet of the last little bit. A delayed "pass" for the article. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update?[edit]

All the refs for the December 31, 2019, show are from December 30 or earlier. Shouldn't we cite stories from after the event to document what actually happened instead of what was supposed to happen? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 04:20, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uncompleted List of episodes[edit]

Hi. I'm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AVSASPH. Please add all the other not-mentioned episodes in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Clark%27s_New_Year%27s_Rockin%27_Eve. AVSASPH (talk) 09:54, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can tell you just saw an old tape of DCNYE 1979 ( Dec 31,1978 ) Pre taped Hollywood segment Hosts were Erik Estrada & Lauren Tewes.

Music Acts were Chuck Mangione - The Village People - Tanya Tucker - Barry Manilow - Rick James — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:BE00:FC25:C13E:29D2:F2C5:78C6 (talk) 07:36, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ABC 2000 Today[edit]

I try to make clear that there have been 50 episodes, not 51 of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. There was no NYRE for 2000 due to ABC 2000 Today, and that's a broadcast of ABC News. SnoopyAndCharlieBrown202070 (talk) 00:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scheduling changes for the 2023 edition[edit]

Beginning with the 2023 edition, the special's first primetime portion ran from 8 to 10 and the second primetime portion began at 10:30; this was not only done in response to the introduction of NBC's new special, but also because of technical problems that affected the Puerto Rico countdown event the previous year. 24.191.232.15 (talk) 14:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
