Speaking of torture…
1 January 2006 :: By Mark Bodenrader
Did anybody catch ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” last night? If not, then good for you. The party I was at put it on for the ball drop, and let me tell you, it was painful to watch.
I honestly don’t understand why they decided to bring the guy in this year. His voice was horrible and creepy and sometimes he didn’t even make sense.
I mean, I understand he’s sort of this institution that is popular with a certain segment of America and he likely pushed to be on this year, but all he ended up doing is making the audience really uncomfortable. Viewers were left worrying about his state, which took their attention away from blissfully ringing in the new year.
But enough about Ryan Seacrest, the Dick Clark moments were pretty awkward too.

“Show Dick some respect!”
— Bender, Breakfast Club
Honestly, I was appalled. It was as uncomfortable to say the least. Put a real damper on the night. We all just looked at each other like, wtf? This guy should have been tucked between the sheets at 7 pm with an IV drip and a bedpan between his legs, yet he’s ushering in 2006 at midnight. Made no sense.
Sick gimmick used to attract viewers and nothing more. Shame on the network for that.

You mean Dick The Vampire is close to death?
