Ryan Seacrest Is Now Truly Rockin' New Year's Eve

It's a small tweak, yet significant all the same. Ryan Seacrest, who for the past three December 31sts has cohosted ABC's New Year's Eve program, now is getting his name worked into the title:
Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
All that's missing is "Oprah Winfrey Presents:" in front and "- Exile Island" at the end.
Seacrest first was added to the special in 2005, the year after Dick Clark suffered a stroke.
"Ryan has been a tremendous part of the show," ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson said in announcing the change, "and we're thrilled he'll be part of it for years to come." -
