Television Host Dick Clark Dies at 82
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Dick Clark, the ever-youthful television host and tireless
entrepreneur who helped bring rock 'n' roll into the mainstream on "American
Bandstand," and later produced and hosted a vast range of programming from
game shows to the year-end countdown in Times Square on "New Year's Rockin'
Eve," has died. He was 82.

Broadcasting Legend
As the host of America's longest-running variety show, 'American Bandstand,'
Dick Clark made a name as a high-powered entertainer and executive.
Spokesman Paul Shefrin said Mr. Clark had a heart attack Wednesday morning
at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, a day after he was admitted for an
outpatient procedure.
Mr. Clark had continued performing even after he suffered a stroke in 2004
that affected his ability to speak and walk.
Long dubbed "the world's oldest teenager" because of his boyish appearance,
Mr. 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.
For a time in the 1980s, he had shows on all three networks and was listed
among the Forbes 400 of wealthiest Americans. Mr. Clark also was part of
radio as partner in the United Stations Radio Network, which provided
programs—including Mr. Clark's—to thousands of stations.
"There's hardly any segment of the population that doesn't see what I do,"
Mr. Clark told the Associated Press in a 1985 interview. "It can be
embarrassing. People come up to me and say, 'I love your show,' and I have
no idea which one they're talking about."
The original "American Bandstand" was one of network TV's longest-running
series as part of ABC's daytime lineup from 1957 to 1987. It later aired for
a year in syndication and briefly on the USA Network. Over the years, it
introduced stars ranging from Buddy Holly to Madonna. The show's status as
an American cultural institution was solidified when Mr. Clark donated
Bandstand's original podium and backdrop to the Smithsonian Institution.
Mr. Clark joined "Bandstand" in 1956 after Bob Horn, who had been the host
since its 1952 debut, was fired. Under Mr. Clark's guidance, it went from a
local Philadelphia show to a national phenomenon. | m****s
