Ryan Seacrest named Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, as his dream co-host for next year’s Dick Clark New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
The American Idol host has had alternating co-hosts since Dick Clark ultimately handed up hosting duties for his renowned New Year’s Rockin’ Eve to Ryan Seacrest, and the master of ceremonies already knows who he wants for next year. Speaking to the New York Post, Seacrest described The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, as his ideal co-host. Times Square would be the best place to see Dwayne Johnson because it’s crowded and everyone would be watching him.
Dwayne Johnson has become the largest star on the planet, something that was unthinkable back in 1996 when Madison Square Garden was rocking with chants of “Die Rocky Die.” The former WWE champion has gone on to become the most electrifying man in Hollywood, so when Ryan Seacrest says that The Rock could get everyone packed into Times Square to pay attention, he is not wrong. While Johnson is the dream co-host, Seacrest had another star with him this year, Liza Koshy.
The YouTube celebrity, who has more than 17 million subscribers, co-hosted the event with Seacrest for the second year in a row. With more than 4 million viewers, the duo was a success in hosting the most watched program on New Year’s Eve. Dwayne Johnson would be the biggest star on screen in addition to having a compelling personality, making the ABC tradition the must-see event of the evening.
The movie office failure of Black Adam and Dwayne Johnson’s social media damage control in the weeks following its release may have hurt his popularity recently. The Rock recently revealed that Black Adam won’t be featured in the initial batch of DC Universe films being created under James Gunn, putting an unfortunate end to his ten-year effort to bring the character to life. The third-generation professional wrestler, despite a lackluster initial comic book adaption, is still one of the most well-known people on the planet.
With a total box office haul of over $5 billion, ranging from Moana to Fast and Furious, the surprising hit Jumanji, and the recent Netflix hit Red Notice, there is no denying what Dwyane Johnson has accomplished. The star has even hosted events before, including Shark Week 2022, but Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve would be the largest event he’s hosted since Wrestlemania 27 at the Georgia Dome. If you forgot that particular event, it’s okay, that was the one with The Miz as World Champion.
Dwayne Johnson might be back in the ring in 2023, with rumors circulating that he could be facing his cousin, Roman Reigns, at Wrestlemania in Los Angeles. If The Rock gets back in the ring, it will go a long way to washing the taste of Black Adam out of the mouths of fans, giving him a showcase for his incredible charisma and a chance to get a live crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. If Ryan Seacrest, one of the hardest working men in show business, has his way, we might get to see The Rock in front of the largest New Years Eve party on the planet.
