In 1952, Dick Clark moved to Philadelphia and took a job as a disc jockey at radio station WFIL. WFIL had an affiliated television station with the same call sign which began broadcasting a show called Bob Horn's Bandstand in 1952. Clark was a regular substitute host on the show and when Horn left, Clark became the full time host on July 9, 1956.

The show was a major success, running daily until 1963, then weekly until 1987; a spin-off of the show, Where the Action Is, aired from 1965 to 1967, also on ABC.

After two brief runs as a quiz-show host, presiding over "The Object Is" and then "Missing Links" (which in a near twist of irony, he replaced his former Philadelphia neighbor and subsequent "TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes" co-host, Ed McMahon ), Clark hit the jackpot with The $10,000 Pyramid, which premiered on CBS March 26, 1973. The show—a word association game created and produced by daytime TV legend Bob Stewart—moved to ABC from 1974 to 1980, during which time the top prize was upgraded to $20,000. After a brief 1981 syndicated run as The $50,000 Pyramid, the show returned to CBS in 1982 as The $25,000 Pyramid, and continued through 1988, save for a three month break. From 1985 to 1988, Clark hosted both the CBS $25,000 version and a daily $100,000 Pyramid in syndication.

But by this time Clark established himself as a producer/host comfortable with hard work, a trait that is as much his trademark as what has become his signature signoff over the last five decades: For now, Dick Clark—so long accompanied by a salute. On the week-ending episodes of the ABC Pyramid, Clark would close with the line We'll see you tomorrow on Bandstand before using his signature signoff. In converse, Clark would also plug Pyramid at the end of Bandstand during the mid-to-late 1970s.

The venerable Pyramid also provided another of Clark's (and television's) most famous signature phrases during the tense Winner's Circle bonus round: Here is your first subject. GO!

In 1973, Clark created the American Music Awards show, which he produces annually. Intended as competition for the Grammy Awards, in some years it gained a bigger audience than the Grammys due to being more in touch with popular trends.

For a period of several years in the 1980s Clark simultaneously hosted regular programmes on the 3 major American networks: ABC ("Bandstand"), CBS ("Pyramid") and NBC ("Bloopers"). He is the only person to have ever done this.

Clark's illness and return

In 2003, it was revealed that Clark had Type 2 diabetes. Then, on December 8, 2004, Dick Clark was hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering what was initially termed a minor stroke. Clark's spokeswoman, Amy Streibel, said that he was hospitalized but was expected to be fine.

This was only the second time Dick Clark was unable to host his annual New Year's Eve broadcast. The other time was in 1999, due to the airing of ABC 2000 Today, ABC News's coverage of the new millennium, hosted by Peter Jennings. However, during the broadcast, Clark did get to do his New Year's countdown from New York, doing so with ABC's Jack Ford, who had been in Times Square during the broadcast. The transcript of the broadcast, released by ABC News, reported that he was a correspondent. When introducing Clark, Jennings said that "we could not gather in Times Square on a New Year's Eve without Dick Clark."

While having not been seen in public anywhere since his stroke, on August 15, 2005 Clark announced in a statement that he would be back in Times Square for the annual tradition, bringing on Hilary Duff and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest as co-hosts and Seacrest as co-executive producer. Also in the press release, it was announced that Seacrest would eventually take over as the sole host in the event Clark could not continue with the program.

On December 30, 2005, Clark made his return to television, his first appearance since his stroke, appearing on ABC's Good Morning America, and sharing his thoughts about returning to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Diane Sawyer, whom he worked with during ABC 2000 Today.

The following day, he returned to the Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve broadcast. He looked well and was able to smile, but had noticeable difficulty speaking and his speech, including his famous countdown to the new year, was a bit slurred, and his count was actually one second ahead, possibly due to the stroke.

During the program, Clark remained behind a desk, and was only shown in limited segments. On-air, Clark said, "Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. It's been a long, hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I'm getting there." [1] He also appeared to have limited use of his right arm. But, before counting down to 2006, he mentioned he "wouldn't have missed this [the telecast] for the world."

Reaction to Clark's appearance was mixed, reported CNN.com. While some TV critics (including Tom Shales of The Washington Post, in an interview with the CBS Radio Network) felt he was not in good enough shape to do the broadcast, stroke survivors and many of Clark's fans praised him immensely for being a role model for people dealing with post-stroke recovery.[2] The Washington Post is the largest newspaper in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. ...

Youthful longevity in popular culture

Clark's continuous youthful appearance has drawn attention for a long time to the point of becoming a subject of jokes in other forms of comedy entertainment, though his recent health problems have likely hindered this trend.

He is featured in the well-known comic strip The Far Side (where he suddenly ages 200 years in a few seconds on a talk show) and the less-known computer game Superhero League of Hoboken (where he is discovered living in a 23rd century wasteland looking exactly the same). In The X-Files, during the sixth season episode "Tithonus", when a man is discovered to have not aged for over thirty years, an agent remarks, "This guy's a regular Dick Clark!" In The Simpsons Halloween special Treehouse of Horror X, the story "Life's a Glitch, Then You Die" begins with Dick Clark at New Year's Rockin' Eve in Springfield (as opposed to New York) on December 31, 1999. When midnight strikes, the feared Y2K problem occurs and Dick Clark is revealed to be a robot as he malfunctions. He is also featured in Bill Hick's Sane Man stand-up comedy as a result of his apperant not-aging. The Far Side is a popular one-panel syndicated comic created by Gary Larson. ...

Another reference is in Friends, where Ross and Monica are invited by Joey's then girlfriend (played by Elle McPherson) to dance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. They popularly perform their "routine" on the show - to which it is remarked that they should keep it for the Bloopers show. He also appeared in a 1995 episode of Mad About You, where the ball does not complete its drop on New Year's Eve (a contrivance to allow Paul and Jamie Buchman to kiss before midnight). Rather than being at his usual spot in Times Square, however, Clark was pictured sitting at home, regretting he had taken the night off.

Clark has also taken part in some of the longevity jokes at his expense; one example is his appearance in Police Squad!, where he is seen to take a special anti-aging cream from the omniscient shoe-shine man and hurriedly apply it to his face hoping that no one else is watching. Another was in a commercial for M&Ms candy in 1999, in which he declines doing a millennium special as he had "been around for the first millennium." Police Squad! title screen Police Squad! was a television comedy series first broadcast in 1982. ... Plain M&Ms M&Ms are small, milk chocolate candy pieces popular in the United States and in many other countries around the world. ...
