This photo gallery lists potential heirs to Dick Clark's throne... yet it seems rather slapped together. So why do it?
Above, the synopsis on Seacrest -- the most obvious heir, since he's already inherited Clark's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" -- references a radio station that doesn't exist ("KROC"?!) and gets it wrong anyway -- it was KYSR where Seacrest DJed.
What's more, Seacrest has already replaced not one, but three hosting legends: Clark; Casey Kasem ("American Top 40"); and Rick Dees (the morning KIIS-FM drive). Meanwhile, Carson Daly makes sense as well -- his "TRL" stint was reminiscent of Clark's "American Bandstand" days -- but no mention that he's tryign to go after Conan O'Brien's 12:30 a.m. chair?
Meanwhile, most of the others listed don't quite make sense (Maria Manounos?) -- while plenty are completely missing.
Regardless, it appears that Seacrest has already staked a claim, so it's sort of moot anyway.
