Dick Clark was confirmed dead a few minutes ago by TMZ. He suffered a heart attack. Clark was 82.

This thread is to remember the man who brought us New Year's Rockin' Eve, among other things, such as host of Scattergories, Pyramid, and Winning Line.

RIP Dick Clark

    Technically even if he didn't age, a heart attack could have killed him

    I saw the thread title and I was like "hm, dick clark, how old is he anyway, he's pretty damn old right?"

    then I read the actual post, and I was like "oh"

    End on
    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    Dick Clark was, as far as I know, a genuinely nice person who loved what he did.

    That's what I've heard as well. Always seemed like a genuine, decent person from the shows and stuff he did. I think I remember him most from TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes.

    Well there was that whole incident in Bowling for Columbine that made him look a little uncaring, but he did get ambushed by Michael Moore so I can't say I blame him too much.

    Not sure if this is what he's referring to but:
    Clark was featured in the 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine. He was criticized for hiring poor, unwed mothers to work long hours in his chain of restaurants for little pay. The mother in particular works over 80 hours per week and is unable to make rent and gets evicted which results in her having her son stay at his uncle's house. At his uncle's house the boy finds a gun and brings it to school where he shoots another first grader. In the documentary footage featuring Clark, Michael Moore tries to approach him to inform him of the welfare policies that allow for these conditions, and questions him about the people he employs and the tax breaks he takes advantage of, in employing welfare recipients; Clark refuses to answer any of Moore's questions, shutting the car door and driving away.

    I'd tell Moore to piss off if he wanted to ask me questions too.

    Him dying doesn't prove that he ages. The thesis of this thread is preposterous.

    Not at all, bro. Michael stopped him as he was getting in a vehicle to go someplace and asked him if he could spare a minute to talk about the tragedy that happened at a kindergarten in Flint, MI because the kid who had the gun's mother was working for restaurants that branded with his name. When Clark starts to hear the context of the question he stops listening and tells the driver/his people to go.

    uhhh it was the state of Michigan that began that Welfare to Work program and forced his chain of restaurants to hire those workers.

    Clark literally had nothing to do with it.

    michael moore is a tremendous shitlizard who decided that ambushing dick clark would make for better footage than actually addressing how shitty we treat people
