How are we already at the end of 2025, talking about New Year’s Eve? It sounds so cliché, but life really goes quickly the older you get. Some of us can’t believe it’s been more than two decades since Dick Clark stopped hosting New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Ryan Seacrest took over the reins in 2005 and never looked back.
This year, the show will have a live celebration not only in New York City, but also in Chicago, with a ball drop for those in the Central time zone. Chicago native Chance the Rapper will broadcast from the Windy City, The Hollywood Reporter shared. But that’s not the only change. View this post on Instagram A post shared by New Year's Rockin’ Eve (@rockineve) Two New Co-Hosts Will Join “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” In Las Vegas For this year’s celebration, Julianne Hough and NGL legend Rob Gronkowski will co-host from Las Vegas.
Details for the Puerto Rico celebration await. Rita Ora will join Ryan Seacrest in the Big Apple for an unforgettable night. Fans loved the announcement and shared their excitement on the show’s official Instagram page. So glad that Ryan Seacrest, Rita Ora, and Rob Gronkowski are back to host “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” from Times Square and Las Vegas; plus, Chance The Rapper and Julianne Hough will join in on the fun as hosts from Chicago and Vegas!
Can’t wait to watch it and celebrate the New Year! And one more thing: I hope that Dayanara Torres and Jeannie Mai will return as hosts from Puerto Rico and Hollywood; and expand the live New Year’s Eve countdown celebration to the Mountain Time Zone (MT) as well,” someone wrote.
Others had more ideas. “Jules Hough needs to try to convince Gronk to be on Dancing With the Stars next season,” someone suggested. “You should get your Wheel of Fortune co-host to do it with you,” another person chimed in, nudging Ryan. We can’t wait for New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
