I’m getting old.
I remember when I could force my body to stay awake long past midnight on New Year’s Eve, because it was always fun to count down to the next year with my mom and Dick Clark while eating Tostino’s Pizza Rolls.
But I haven’t been able to make it past 11:00 recently. Is it because the shows have gotten boring? Or am I so out of touch with pop music that I don’t care to see a hot young thing shakin’ it like a Polaroid picture?
But I am actually kind of excited to see Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark ham it up on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” if only to see Dick sort of officially hand over the reins. And plus, I’m always drawn to Ryan’s metrosexuality-ness.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Carson Daly. Um, didn’t he have some MTV show? And someone told me his late-late-late-late-late night talk show is still on, somewhere between the Restasis ads and the Ron Popeil infomercials. But I’ve never found him someone that could keep my eyes open in the wee hours, and I don’t care if he did get Panic! At the Disco.
Ryan’s got Christina Aguilera and the cast of the Broadway show “Jersey Boys,” which won the Tony for Best Musical. What else do you need?
Oh, yeah. The Tostino’s Pizza Rolls.
The festivities start at 10 p.m. on ABC (Seacrest) and NBC (Daly).
