18-time host Ryan Seacrest will once again be leading the festivities as host of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Liza Koshy is on board to join Seacrest as co-host in Times Square while Jessie James Decker returns for the fourth year as the Powerball co-host.
This year’s New Year’s Eve celebration is adding the Disneyland Resort in California as a venue, with Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Ciara overseeing the events from the West Coast in pre-taped segments airing during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. The Mouse House is cashing in on the Disney synergy by launching “Disney 100 Years of Wonder” with the New Year’s Eve event.
The recognition of Disney’s century-long impact officially begins at Disneyland Resort on January 27, 2023. Fans can expect limited-time offerings throughout 2023 as well as two new nighttime spectaculars.
Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner Billy Porter (Pose) is also back on board the New Year’s Eve celebration, co-hosting the Central Time Zone countdown from New Orleans. Porter, who only needs an Oscar to obtain the coveted EGOT status, previously co-hosted from New Orleans in 2019 and 2021. He made it to Times Square in 2020 and was the LA Party DJ during last year’s show.
DJ D-Nice will return as this year’s LA co-host.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest airs on ABC on Saturday, December 31, 2022 beginning at 8pm ET. Last year’s show was watched by 9.4 people, two million more than the combined total of its broadcast competitors.
