Dick Clark, whose unwrinkled longevity as host of American Bandstand
earned him the nickname Americas Oldest Living Teenager and whose shrewd
business sense earned him millions as an entertainment mogul, died
Wednesday at a hospital in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 82.
.
Paul Shefrin, Mr. Clarks agent, said the cause of death was a massive
heart attack.
.
There was much more to Mr. Clarks success than Bandstand. He became a
minor show business institution, at once pervasive and ephemeral: hosting
game shows and the annual New Years Rockin Eve broadcast, producing films
and television series, appearing in commercials, and promoting concerts.
NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff once hailed him as the McDonalds of
television.
.
I was an entrepreneur, Mr. Clark said in a 1992 interview on the Nashville
Network. I used every single opportunity I could to make money. I managed
artists. I pressed records. I did tours, I owned labels. I did everything
I could think of to turn a dollar.
.
Although a stroke in 2004 slowed Mr. Clark, he eventually returned to the
New Years Eve broadcast, solidifying his reputation as the rock eras Guy
Lombardo. Ryan Seacrest, Mr. Clarks younger counterpart in many ways,
handled most of the hosting duties, with Mr. Clark taking care of the
year-end countdown.
.
I idolized him from the start, and I was graced early on in my career with
his generous advice and counsel, Seacrest said in a statement Wednesday.
He was a remarkable host and businessman and left a rich legacy to
television audiences around the world. We will all miss him.
.
Mr. Clark is the only person to have shows simultaneously running on three
networks. In 1984, he hosted Bloopers, Commercials, and Practical Jokes on
NBC, The New $25,000 Pyramid on CBS, and Bandstand on ABC.
.
Bandstand was Mr. Clarks special claim to fame. At the beginning of rock n
roll, when the idea of something like MTV was unimaginable, there was
American Bandstand. Mr. Clark hosted the show from 1956 to 1989. Chuck
Berry paid tribute to the show in Sweet Little Sixteen: Cause theyll be
rockin on Bandstand/In Philadelphia, P.A. (the show originally broadcast
from there).
