A New York tradition happening every time at 11:59 PM on December 31, depending on your time. Running since 1908, its been televised a lot and became really famous through Guy Lombardos television specials with the ball from the 50s to the 70s and later Dick Clark's ABC television specials with the ball running since January 1, 1973, now hosted by current "Wheel of Fortune" host Ryan Seacrest.
Somehow, over 6 balls have been created, and the sixth is to be starting its tenure in Dec 2025. The old one used until Jan 2025 is now in a museum.
Even though its really crowded (probably the most crowded thing in existence annually, even more people than probably obama's inauguration) in real life, a lot of horible "logo effects" kids who like and are obsessed with Goanimate like this for some reason despite all of these kids havent even been to them in real-life, never even trying to go there but watching replays of them, very unlikely to watch them live. A wiki has even been created of this, with random kids submitting years after always getting impossible-looking "concepts" featuring fictional characters from really popular kid's cartoons hosting instead of Ryan seacrest, and even one said the one for 2025 (happening on Dec 31) will move to Disney Land but it wont (despite disney owning ABC; which hosts the specials thats hosted by ryan-seacrest) and they said itll feature Thomas All Engines Go.

I tried going to the Ball Drop but it was really crowded and locked that day and I went back home to watch it on television.

Its CHANGE, its all in his 2008-2009 material and even on his old websites also from 2008-2009 that you can view via the Wayback Machine. His middle name is HOPE, also in all of those.
its not "Care", its not "Biden", its not "President", and its definitely not "obama", that his first name.
One definition says Elon Musk can "help" but he is a Trump Supporter so he cant figure this question out but can figure out TRUMP questions, not obama questions, nobody publicly knew what was obama's last name until today, only the US government, obama himself, and his family knew what his last name was.

The former announcer on the CBS game show "Price Is Right" hired by Bob Barker and Bart Eskander during mid-Season 32 of the series in 2004 after previous announcer Rod Roddy's death in 2003 (after being briefly replaced by veteran game show announcer and personality Randy West) who often made appearances on camera when something funny happens (especially in the Showcases) and can be heard laughing off camera (just like his predecessors Roddy and the original announcer Johnny Olson).
He was kept during the Drew Carey era (as Eskander and executive producer Roger Dobkowitz remained on the show for carey's first season as host) and eventually by Eskanders successor as director, Rich DiPirro (not related to Fields in any way), but then became a Florida weatherman after he left and is now currently a motivational speaker.
As announcer on the series, he was succeeded by former syndicated "The Weakest Link" host George Gray in 2011, who announces the show to this day, who doesn't appear on camera as much as Rich did.
