<P> The complications of a stroke suffered by Clark in December 2004 had a major effect on his role in the special . After having Regis Philbin serve as a guest host for 2005 , Clark returned to the special for the 2006 edition : due to speech impediments resulting from his stroke , Clark ceded hosting duties to Ryan Seacrest , but still made limited appearances . The death of Dick Clark on April 18 , 2012 left Ryan Seacrest as the sole host of New Year 's Rockin ' Eve beginning with its 2012 -- 13 edition . Seacrest has most recently been joined by Jenny McCarthy as a correspondent from Times Square , with Ciara serving as the presenter of the Hollywood concert segments . Through its deal with Dick Clark Productions , New Year 's Rockin ' Eve will remain on ABC through at least 2024 . </P>
