If you need proof that Dick Clark still rules New Year’s Eve, here it is. On New Year’s Eve, ABC is devoting its entire prime-time and late-night schedule to Clark and his various specials that have greeted new years over the past four decades. The evening kicks off with “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve: The 40th Anniversary Party” (8 to 10 p.m. EST Dec. 31).

Jenny McCarthy and Fergie recollect how the fashion and music have changed vastly in 40 years, but the merrymaking is still the same.
