Dick Clark; former host of "American Bandstand", "Pyramid", "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes", and his "New Year's Rockin' Eve" specials; has died overnight from a massive heart attack. He was 82.

EDIT: It appears TWCJim has already made a thread about him (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/general-discussion/legendary-tv-producer-dick-clark-has-died/). You beat me to it, Jim. As for you moderators, feel free to merge this with his. Sorry, everyone.

Without notice, you beat me to it as I have only made a similar thread about this less than a minute after you.

Hakeem: What's up, Jetsons!
Frank Mitchell: Jetsons?
Hakeem: Yeah, you and George got the same haircut.

There are many things that won't be the same with Dick Clark gone as he made countless contributions to television, radio, and the entire entertainment industry.  May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort during this difficult time.
