Nowadays, TV shows come in all shapes and sizes. But many would say that they’ve lost some of the quality and glamour that old TV shows used to have. And when it comes to TV shows, Dick Clark is a personality who made history and whose name people are sure to remember for a long, long time ahead.
For those who need a small reminder, Dick Clark was an American radio and television personality, as well as a cultural icon. He passed away in 2012, at age 83, but his legacy in the television industry will remain in history forever.
Dick Clark is best known for hosting American Bandstand. The American music-performance show aired in various versions from 1952 to 1989 and was hosted from 1956 until its final season by Clark. But his influence on the show was not only in front of the camera, as he was also the show’s producer.
The video below shows a memorable moment from one of the episodes of American Bandstand in which Dick Clark himself gave eight kids the opportunity to appear in front of millions of people watching the show at home.
The result? A memorable dance that you wouldn’t want to miss!
