a true national treasure has left us

The man was an icon. I saw him last New Year's Eve. He couldn't host it of course, but he appeared in a brief segment. Go in peace, Mr. Clark.
A genuine legend. But this leaves us with a huge question to answer: Who is America's oldest living teenager now? My coworker says Nancy Sinatra. I say Pat Boone.

The title should be retired in his honor.
That's a bummer. I spent a good hunk of time in my teen years watching him on "Bandstand" and yukking it up with him and Ed McMahon during "TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes."
...and of course, he was always the MC for New Year's Eve. The other networks all try to do their own New Year's broadcasts but none of 'em ever came close.
Maybe this is why the world is supposed to end this year. You just can't have New Years without Dick Clark!
Shame.
I was a bit young to see Bandstand, but the man's a legend.
Did watch his 'Rocking Eve' every year with my grandpa. And, the man produced The Weird Al Show, so he gets a nod from me for that.
A real loss for the entertainment world and for us....R.I.P.,Mr Clark. :bluesad:
"Here is your first subject... Go!"
Rest in peace, Mr. Clark.
