Goodbye to America's Oldest Teenager

When you hear the phrase "America's Oldest Teenager", who comes to your head.  That's right. Dick Clark. Dick Clark passed away yesterday from a massive attack.  He was 82.

People will remembered him from the show "American Bandstand" which was on the air from 1957 to 1987. So many people got their start on American Bandstand. With over 30 years on the air, a lot of singers appeared on the show.  Singers like Prince, Madonna, John Travolta, ABBA, Aerosmith, The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys and many more(Here's a list of all the artists that appeared on American Bandstand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acts_who_appeared_on_American_Bandstand).

He was also a game show host.  He was host of $10,00 Pyramid, The New $25,00 Pyramid, and the $100,00 Pyramid. He hosted the different types of pyramids from 1974 to 1988.  Old episodes are shown the GSN(The Game Show Network).  One of my favorite game shows.

He was a great producer. He produced so many shows. One of my favorites was Donny and Marie Talk Show from 1998-2000.


He was the host of TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes with the late Ed McMahon from 1984 to 2007.  A show I grew up watching.


When we didn't have dates for New Year, he would be our dates We would watch his Rockin' Eve shows every New Year's Eve.  This show is still on the air and has been on his 1974.

He was a great man and he will be greatly missed.

RIP Dick Clark
