It's official. Ryan Seacrest has another job.
On Friday, ABC and Dick Clark Productions proclaimed the American Idol host will be joining Clark's long-time New Year's Eve special as a permanent co-host with Clark, and executive manufacturer through 2010.
The show's new name, appropriately called Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, reflects the radio deejay's success in co-hosting "one of America's most time-honored traditions," Orly Adelson, executive director producer and president of Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement.
Seacrest coupled the program in December 2005, temporarily replacing Dick Clark who suffered a stroke earlier that month. Clark still appeared on the 'o5 air but his speech had been affected.
Today's announcement is a retentive time advent for Seacrest, who signed a deal back in 2005 that would finally make him the program's host. Last year's circulate was the top-rated New Year's Eve show, draftsmanship 29-million viewers by midnight.
