Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora Ready for 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' Celebration

  • On Wednesday, Dec. 31, Ryan Seacrest and British singer and actress Rita Ora will co-host ABC's 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' live from Times Square, beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST and streaming on Hulu.
  • Historically, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve peaked with 29 million viewers at midnight, averaged 17.9 million with a 4.73 rating Dec. 31, 2024–Jan. 1, 2025, and drew 2.5 times ABC’s closest competitor at 11:30.
  • Packed with performers, this year’s broadcast features roughly 39 artists, the largest lineup, with the main telecast window from 11:30 p.m. ET to 1:09 a.m. and nearly three tons of 2" x 2" confetti at midnight.
  • For 2026, the program produced by PMC/Dick Clark Productions will include a Central Time Zone countdown with guest Diana Ross and reached 21.5 million viewers at its midnight quarter-hour peak.
  • Seacrest cautioned that `I would say about that 30-second mark, I'm thinking pay attention to 11, so you hit 10 right at 10`, while Ora added, `Yes, look the crowd, it really is about the crowd. They give us so much more energy and the performances`.
