The beginning of the end for the NBC drama starts Jan. 4, as it returns to its cus- tomary Tuesday slot to open its final season. Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown and compa- ny will be on for a month, then off for a few weeks while the network televises the Winter Olympics ... and then, the series will be back for its last stretch of episodes. Creator and executive producer Dan Fogelman has said that he has known for a long time how the show will end, and now that we've reached this point, everyone else also will know relatively soon. Q : Will Ryan Seacrest host New Year's Eve on ABC again this year? — Pam Dolan, via email A : Absolutely. The plan for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest" is the same as usual, with a two-part spe - cial in primetime followed by another two parts after late local news, and the tradition - al Times Square ball drop covered at midnight Eastern time. Seacrest will have a little more competition beyond such traditional rivals as NBC, Fox and CNN, since CBS is getting back into the New Year's Eve game for the first time in a long time with an all-star music spe - cial originating from Nashville. Q : Now that Megan Boone is done with "The Black- list," what will she be doing next? — Ted King, Reading, Pa. A : Nothing was definite as of the time this column was written, but one reason she left the ongoing NBC series after eight seasons was to develop projects of her own. She now has a production company (called Weird Sister) and a deal by which Sony Pictures Television — one of the entities behind "The Blacklist" — will get first crack at what she has to offer. That certainly speaks to the stature attained over the past decade or so by Boone, who had a two-episode tryout as Detective Danny Reagan's (Donnie Wahlberg) potential partner on CBS' "Blue Bloods" the season before "The Black- list" premiered. Q : For how many years did Tim Russert host "Meet the Press"? — Barry Smith, Clovis, Calif. A : Not long after becoming the Washington bureau chief for NBC News, Russert was named moderator of the Sunday-morning staple in 1991, keeping the job until his untimely passing in 2008. He was working at that time, recording voiceovers for the following Sunday's show — and as Tom Brokaw delivered the sad news on the NBC networks, rivals ABC and CBS also aired special reports that relayed the information to viewers.
