Watch Dick Clark Count In 2012 – 40 Years Of Rockin’ In The New Year [VIDEO]

It seems amazing that he's still doing it. Dick Clark is 81 years old, and still suffering from the effects of a serious 2004 stroke. But he still loves to host his trademark 'New Year's Rockin' Eve'. And while he's not as constantly on screen as Ryan Seacrest handles most of the emcee duties, Clark is guaranteed to be the man counting in the brand new year. This year was no exception. His speech is notably slurred, but his energy and enthusiasm are still very much evident. You will see Clark appear about 45 seconds into the video below. He definitely still looks youthful, especially for an 81-year old. If you've been wondering about the guy who has been such a big part of teenager's lives since the 1950s and the advent of American Bandstand, check out the video:
