During the program, Clark remained behind a desk, and was only shown in limited segments.

In the early years of Lombardo's television specials, Robert Trout reported on and counted down to Midnight in New York's Times Square; but for most of Lombardo's years on television, another legendary newsman, Ben Grauer, had the honor.(Grauer, by the way, also reported from Times Square for NBC Radio on celebrations following the surrender of Japan on August 14, 1945.The first New Year's Eve special on television was broadcast on December 31, 1941 on WNBT New York, and consisted of entertainment broadcast from the Rainbow Room, atop the RCA Building in New York's Rockefeller Center.New York Times, December 31, 1941Due to World War II, there would be no more New Year's Eve specials on television until December 31, 1945.

However, Clark won a Peabody Award for his coverage.2002Throughout that show, there were segments of people saying, "Happy New Year, America" in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks.(Coincidentally, Happy New Year, America was also the name of CBS's New Year's Eve special from two years after Guy Lombardo's death, beginning on December 31, 1979)2005Regis Philbin hosted the Friday, December 31, 2004 and Saturday, January 1, 2005 broadcast because Clark was in the hospital with a stroke, suffered only a few weeks earlier, marking the second time Clark could not host his New Year's Eve broadcast and the first time since 1972 that he did not get to count down to the New Year on the air.During this edition of New Year's Rockin' Eve, when the countdown for the final seconds of 2004 began rolling, host Regis Philbin said it was the first time he has ever hosted a New Year's Eve special on live television and that it surprised him to see over a million people cheering and dancing in their audience with their hats, noise makers, and confetti, directly in his sight.

Before Clark was counting down to 2006, he mentioned he "wouldn't have missed this telecast for the world." Clark's countdown, however, was ahead of the actual time and in fact with three seconds still remaining on the clock Clark had already finished his countdown, declaring "Happy 2006!" with the crowd at Times Square still counting down the remaining two seconds.Reaction to Clark's appearance was mixed, as reported by CNN.

This pattern continues to the present day: Most of the musical segments are taped in a studio in advance, while the segments from Times Square are telecast live.The second show, New Year's Rockin' Eve 1974, also on NBC, was hosted by comedian George Carlin and featured The Pointer Sisters, Billy Preston, Linda Ronstadt and Tower Of Power.Since then, the program has been broadcast over ABC.Almost immediately, Rockin' Eve attracted younger viewers who preferred the contemporary rock and pop music featured on the show as opposed to the big-band music featured on the Lombardo show.By the 1980's, with Lombardo deceased and the Lombardo orchestra (which continued to perform with other conductors) no longer appearing over network television on New Year's Eve, and CBS continuing their own shows without them until 1995-96, Rockin' Eve became the dominant New Year's Eve television program; it routinely attracts millions of viewers, many of whom watch while with families and friends at New Year's "house parties" across the country.ABC 2000 TodayNew Year's Rockin' Eve was not broadcast from Friday, December 31, 1999 leading into Saturday, January 1, 2000 due to ABC 2000 Today, coverage of the millennium from ABC News hosted by Peter Jennings, broadcast live from coast-to-coast throughout the country.
