Mr. Clark might’ve suffered a stroke in ’04, but he’s still the fixture of our New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Times Square ceremony, now in its 40th year. Ryan Seacrest has taken the torch to some degree, but Dick Clark, the man who always seemed not to age, is keeping the dream alive, this year with headliners like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj just to name a few. 


The six-hour show will air tomorrow night (naturally) and will feature 29 musical acts and the man himself.

Let’s take a moment to look back on the dude’s timeless coolness. Happy New Year, Mr. Clark!
