Regis to sub for Dick Clark on NY Rockin' Eve

Turns out that Dick Clark's recovery from a minor stroke will keep him from hosting his 33rd New Year's Rockin' Eve. The long time broadcast entrepreneur continues to convalesce at an undisclosed LA hospital while erstwhile pinch-hitter Regis Philbin preps for the gig. "It's the greatest 'temp job' in the world," he said. "I just hope I can uphold the standards Dick Clark has set for this annual event, and I look forward to his return next year."
