I don't trust TMZ so I typed it in the search engine and he has indeed passed on. I was a fan even though I am of Generation Y. New Year's Rockin' Eve will never be the same. My favorite radio program was Dick Clark Presents Rewind with Gary Bryan.

It's pretty much everywhere now, so it's true. Really sad .
 I'm glad that he kept doing his show as far as he did.

And it comes just two days before I attend a Jeopardy! taping, where announcer Johnny Gilbert announced for Mr. Clark on many Pyramid shows. New Year's Eve will never quite feel the same this coming year (though before Dick Clark, it was Guy Lombardo that people looked up to). Now, hopefully some American Bandstand DVD releases will follow.

Yeah, I heard about this today when they broke in during The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Dick will be truly missed. I wasn't around for American Bandstand, but I always watched New Year's Rockin' Eve when he hosted. It won't be the same, but at least he was there to ring in one last New Year with us. R.I.P., Dick. You'll be missed.

He will also be missed in the game show world.
Not only did he do Pyramid from 1973-88, he also hosted... The Object Is Missing Links Krypton Factor (1981) The Challengers Scattergories It Takes Two (1997) Winning Lines Growing up as a teen, I never had American Bandstand because both KTRK-13 Houston & WFAA-8 Dallas didn't carry the show. The Interstate 45 curse! But I've seen the highlights shows & the many people who appeared on his show, even George Burns. September 1, 1984 broke the 25 year feud when KTRK finally jumped on the Bandstand wagon for 3 years. I missed seeing Scott Baio by a year, but saw Bryan Adams, New Edition & their annual dance contest. Dick Clark Productions brought good shows & movies. One movie I remember was Copacabana. a 1985 CBS movie that starred Barry Manilow. They were also responsible for The Weird Al Show, where he made a cameo spoofing his New Year's Eve telecast. Dick Clark even voiced himself on the first two episodes of Fantastic 4 (1994). You will be missed.

Hope I've made half as much money when I'm his age. RIP brother, probably earned a rest more than anyone.
