Which television special has been hosted by Dick Clark and is known as America's New Year's Rockin' Eve?

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve is the television special hosted for many years by Dick Clark.

The program debuted on NBC in 1972 as Three Dog Night's New Year's Rockin' Eve, then moved to ABC and became Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in 1974. It was created as a pop-music alternative to Guy Lombardo's traditionally oriented New Year's broadcasts.

Dick Clark hosted the Times Square portion for decades and continued appearing after suffering a stroke in 2004, often alongside Ryan Seacrest. After Clark's death in 2012, Seacrest became the principal host, while the program retained Clark's name as part of its title.

The broadcast combines live performances, reports from Times Square, and celebrations from other locations. Host lineups and subtitles can change, so the enduring identifying feature is the program's connection to the Times Square ball drop and its long association with Clark.
