Seacrest has a date New Year’s Eve

Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest will co-host the 34th edition of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” from New York’s Times Square on Dec. 31.

Seacrest, host of “American Idol,” has agreed to a multiyear deal to executive produce and join Clark as co-host of the ABC special. Seacrest will eventually take over as host.

Clark, 75, has been recovering at his Malibu home from a Dec. 6 stroke.

“He’s doing really well,” Clark publicist Paul Shefrin said Monday. “He’s walking. He’s talking. He’s living a fairly normal life.” The longtime host of “American Bandstand” hasn’t appeared on television or done interviews since his stroke.
