From Steve I – OK Mr. Pop – what do Ryan Seacrest, Simon Fuller and Dick Clark all have in common – beside the obvious?

Mr. Pop History – They’ll all tied together through “Idol” and those New Year’s shows. But – there’s another connection.

In 2005 – Idol producer Simon Fuller teamed with Dick Clark Productions to relaunch “American Bandstand.” Fuller’s version included more live performances and a DJ.

It never happened – but – isn’t it interesting?
