HOpe you Dick bashers are happy. He now wants to come on my show. And then do another bloopers and practical strokes show. We'll never get rid of this loon if you keep defending the thrice married, swearing, smoking stoking guy.

What be âspeam?â

Sperm. Sperm I tell you. In place of brain cells, you've got sperm swiming up there in your brain matter.

Nan juju!

He didn't even make the 'N' sound! Dick said "AS USUAL". Anyway, I'm sure despite all the medications he's on, Dick was getting a boner from Mariah, and was masterbating off camera during The Pussycat Dolls performance. You should be so lucky to still get it up after a massive stroke, Dilmonkey.

First, all these posts about "all the great memories Dick provided us" are crap. A lot of us have no memories whatsoever of this guy. I mean, we knew who he was, but to have memories of him you had to (a) be sitting at home Saturday afternoon watching a dance show, (b) be into "bloopers and practical jokes" or ( c) have nowhere to go to on New Year's Eve. When you ponder this for a minute, you'll realize that "having great memories of Dick Clark" is simply for a euphemism for "loser watching a lot of TV while others are out actually living." Second, doesn't anyone see the justice in a guy who made a crapload of money from a bloopers show becoming a living, non stop blooper? Ha, ha! Dick told us it was OK to laugh at others' misfortune, and I'm not going to question his wisdom now. Maybe it was a practical joke: "We told this mumbling stroke victim that he was speaking acceptably and put his ass on national TV. Let's watch..." Nan juju!

Dick's agent is retarted and apparently as well as many of the responders here.

The New Years Eve show is not the place for Dick Clark to make a show of courage and ignorance. The guy has some serious issues and should not be on tv.

I turned it off because it was pathetic. Carson Daily is the new and improved Dick. I wonder if Carson will be on tv long after he should ? Maybe he already has been on tv too long......

Let Dick Die !

Hillary Duff: âSo letâs right now check in at Times Square. Howâs everything going over there guys?â

Dick Clark: â...Itâs going great Nan JuJu..â

You dillholes. I never heard that exchange. I think the exchange actually went as follows:

Hillary Duff: âSo letâs right now check in at Times Square. Howâs everything going over there guys?â

Dick Clark: â...Itâs going great AS USUAL ..â

Dick Clark's speech impediment is only exceeded by your inability to hear and the fact that you have speam for brain cells. I have it Tivoed, I've listened to it, and doesn't sound like 'Na JuJu'. Fuck off suckers.

To those of you who are attacking Dick and his ego, did you ever think for a moment that perhaps he wasn't doing this for himself, but rather for those stroke victims out there who have completely given up on themselves and see absolutely no reason to wake up each morning? I guess I'm an optimist. I just don't think that someone showing such courage was doing it for the sake of keeping his "mug on camera".

Believe me, it was not courage that he displayed letting them lift him into that chair. It was old Dicks ego taking over. It was a real life version of "Weekend at Bernies" only renamed Strokin New Years Eve at Dicks. Like so many, he has to have that camera with the red light burning. Feel sorry for his wife and associates but not him. He is in denial if he thought he could go on live TV and pull that off.

Actually, most television people believe that people who have had a stroke should be banned from the airwaves. With my myopia and deviated septum, I have no chance for a future in TV. Meanwhile, some TV exec is sending Mariah to Mary-Kate Olsen for diet tips. Argh.

In my view, Clark did well. He chose to appear, and it wasn't courageous, and it wasn't pathetic - it just WAS. As long as he doesn't try to rap, he'll do fine.

Nan Juju ?

Sounded like someone saying " ... and you ?" to me.

Sure the guy stumbled a little bit. He had a stroke, assclown. Get a new hobby.

Like many, I was outraged when I read the "retarded" crack yesterday, but your retraction was very genuine and respectable. Please believe me when I say that while there is a smothering tide of infantile narcissism all over the U.S., Dick Clark's appearance on New Year's Rockin' Eve is not an example of that at all. The man is no saint...and no one should doubt he doesn't possess some of the bottom-line businessman and egocentric traits characteristic of all producers and broadcasters. But he really does love the Times Square experience and wanted to be there. As I wrote on another Web site, for the memories he's given us, I say, the least we can do his respect him and appreciate him. One person wrote somewhere something like he was fulfilling his "contractual obligation" to appear. Nonsense. If anything, ABC might prefer to attract the Ryan Seacrest demographic, to sustain its ratings dominance...and wouldn't mind Dick exiting gracefully. And frankly, if it was narcissism, don't you think he'd prefer to remain in hiding...and not be seen, on a *live* broadcast, no less? There are no 'do-overs' on a live show. Courage, heroic, maybe not, but I was quite satisfied to see him hang in there for the entire 90 minute duration of the show. So were a majority of others. Please leave the man alone, everyone, and pick on someone who deserves it more.
