ABC and MRC Live & Alternative announced today that “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2022” will feature Reggaeton superstar and San Juan native Daddy Yankee for the celebration to give a spectacular hometown performance.

The show has also added Puerto Rican actress and singer Roselyn Sanchez as a co-host to oversee the historic New Year’s Eve festivities in Puerto Rico.
