Is anyone else appalled by NBCs horrific New Years program?

There was a reason Dick Clark was so universally liked and watched with such devotion. Yeah, a little corny, a little old fashioned but "nice" never goes out of fashion.

People being crude, going for shock value just look pathetic.

Who were the hosts?


Andy Cohen, NeNe from housewives, some really crass person named Brittney (no idea who she is but she even appeared to make Andy uncomfortable with her attempts at humor) and I think one other person.

Whitney Cummings and Carson Daly.

Anyone is better than Jenny McCarthy who was on with Ryan Seacrest.

That Brittney girl made Jenny McCartney look like the smart, well mannered adult in the room.

She was that awful (and not funny even in a shock value Howard Stern kind of way)

I joked that this was the fame-whore host crew. What a horrible group of people. No thanks NBC

The one with Pitbull had rearends toe-touching and nude bodysuits. Yuck. Switched to Ryan Seacrest but was appalled to see Jenny
McC and her SO. Yuck. The a lot of Luke Bryan's face and jibberish coming out of his mouth. What? We switched to football highlights until 11:58pm. DS enjoyed Walk The Moon.

+1000 Never missed Dick Clark so bad as we did last night. I like Ryan Seacrest as a co-host only but that show just plain sucks now that Dick Clark is gone.

Both of the New Year's Eve shows seem so hyperkinetic with faux celebrities.

No kids here, but I was pretty shocked by how downright awful all three of the network shows were. Pitbull's show had the best music (stop right there, that's all you need to know about how horrible the music choices were). The NBC program was unreal, to combine so much vulgarity with so little actual humor or entertainment value, it was pathetic. I like Ryan Seacrest a lot, but McCarthy is a complete whack-a-do blathering on about who knows what. And watching her mack on some guy was just gross. I wish someone would broadcast the countown show from 20 years ago; that would be a fun trip down memory lane. And much better than any of this crap was.

There wasn't anyone named Brittney, PP. The woman's name is Whitney, and it's Jenny McCarthy, not McCartney.

Seriously. We had a dozen people over, and I walked into the room at 10 minutes before midnight and said, "I have a horrible question: Carson Daly or Ryan Seacrest?"

Shows how un-notable this Brittney/Whitney person is.

We switched to Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. Not great, but the NBC and ABC shows were painful. At least they shut up at midnight and for the five minutes after.

I had it on for a few minutes and happened to hear them interviewing a man on the street who said his New Years resolution was to convince his wife to get a boob job

We clicked over for 30 seconds when Jenny McCarthy became unbearable. Just in time for Justin Bieber's penis. The 8 year olds and their grandparents really enjoyed that.

+1 for the Dick Clark reminiscing here.
