Dick Clark Still Rockin' New Year's Eve

Two years ago we noted that TV host Dick Clark was born the same year as Anne Frank and Martin Luther King, Jr.. (Also Jackie Kennedy and Popeye the Sailor, it turns out.)

Clark turned 78 this year and had a stroke a few years back, but he'll still be on the job on New Year's Eve. He and American Idol dude Ryan Seacrest will once again host the annual ABC special known as Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

Not so familiar with Clark? Here's a fine backgrounder from the Museum of Broadcast Communications.

Bonus tidbit: People magazine says Clark still has an eye for a great pair of legs.
