I understand that he is an American icon, especially on New Year's Eve.

I understand that he's overcome a stroke, a terrible feat for anyone to deal with and one that I hope I never have to deal with.

I understand that for him to be on TV last year (the first new year's after his stroke) was important to him and his fans.

But to have him there again this year was just sad. I really felt bad for the guy. The worst part was when he couldn't even keep up with the countdown. He's had a good run, let's give him a break.

Holy Christ...I totally agree. It was painful to watch him last night. The countdown was really hard to watch.

given his long term run on TV, I'm pretty sure without ity he would have nothing, so for him he HAS to be there

I agree. He needs to be there. It's what he loves to do

Be yourself!

I could tell he was struggling to speak. He's quite a bit slower getting the words out ever since the stroke, but just being able to speak at all is quite a feat, but I agree he probably should retire from TV.
