According to TMZ and ABC News (who apparently wrote the Obituary for Dick Clark ages ago) American Icon Dick Clark has died at 82 of a Heart Attack.
Dick had a stroke a few years ago in 2004, but eventually returned to television once a year for his “New Years Rockin’ Eve” show with Ryan Seacrest. Dick, who pre-stroke was one of the best TV presenters, always sounded and looked awful and it was pretty embarrassing to watch after the stroke. I mean, no disrespect to the guy but it was a complete trainwreck, he would count too slow, his speech was all slurred. It sounded like Ed McMahan had a few bottles of champagne and did the countdown himself! And it always seemed like Seacrest, who was obviously humbled to be picked by Dick for the hosting gig, and happy to have Dick on the show, always wanted to get him on and off the air as quickly as possible.
So yeah. Dick Clark is dead. I always sort of knew he would work until he died. He seemed like that kind of guy. Maybe it was ego, but I like to think that maybe it’s just because he loved show business.
