Shem Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (CBS/AP) Host and TV producer Dick Clark has died. He was 82. Spokesman Paul Shefrin said the "American Bandstand" creator had a heart attack Wednesday morning at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, a day after he was admitted for an outpatient procedure. Long dubbed "the world's oldest teenager" because of his boyish appearance, Clark bridged the rebellious new music scene and traditional show business, and was equally comfortable whether chatting about music with Sam Cooke or bantering with Ed McMahon about TV bloopers. He thrived as the founder of Dick Clark Productions, supplying movies, game and music shows, beauty contests and more to TV. Among his credits: "The $25,000 Pyramid," "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" and the American Music Awards.

Bob Lion54 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Awww, that's sad to hear. He hit age 50 then didn't seem to age at all until the last few years. New Year's just isn't the same without Dick Clark. R.I.P. Mr. Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Avlectus Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 RIP Dick Clark. What a guy. Optimism at a level few can maintain very long, yet he did it so easily with his seemingly oldest teenage alive bit. You'd have to be in order to pull that off.
