The countdown to midnight kicks off tonight in NYC on "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest."
“Extra” was behind the scenes with his good friend and co-host Julianne Hough at rehearsals.
"I have learned from the best,” she said. “I watched Ryan do this many, many years, and it's just iconic. I mean, everybody around the country watches this show and rings in the new year, and there’s nothing like coming together for a shared experience. And what better way to do that than to celebrate and hear great music and dance?”
Julianne will be stationed in Las Vegas with four-time Super Bowl champ Rob Gronkowski.
Hough said of Gronkowsi, “We were just rehearsing. That guy is so tall! I knew he was tall, but then in person it was much taller, but he's super playful and fun. And we are going to have a blast.”
“Extra” also spoke with Rob, who shared, "Julianne is just a wonderful, just terrific person and host. I've been watching her every season on ‘Dancing with the Stars.' I'm a big fan.”
He added, "You know, hosting the crazy party on New Year’s Eve is the greatest time… I keep saying it's the best party to be a part of.”
