Famed television personality Dick Clark died of a heart attack Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, his spokesman confirms. Clark was 82.
Clark is best known for hosting long-running television shows such as “American Bandstand,” the game show “Pyramid” and “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”
He was nicknamed “America’s oldest teenager” and maintained his youthful looks into his 70s.
Clark had been in St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif., after undergoing an outpatient procedure Tuesday night. He suffered the heart attack following the procedure and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
No wonder they say the world will end in 2012, Dick Clark wont be around to bring us into the new year.
