Dick Clark said in a release from ABC.com, “It hardly seems possible that we began telecasting New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 40 years ago. Armed with just a couple of cameras and a skeleton crew, my wife and I stood atop a Times Square building and watched the thousands of happy celebrants in Times Square.”
He continued, “The army of talent we had join us over the years has truly been outstanding, and this year we top it off with an appearance by Lady Gaga. New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2012 promises to be one of the most exciting ever, and I’m proud to be part of the team.”
This is going to be a huge night and we cant’ wait to watch the ball drop in this time-honored tradition.
