Death

TMZ is reporting that DIck Clark has died at the age of 82 of a 'massive heart attack'. I'm still trying to get confirmation from other sources, but until we know more, I've added the 'recently died' template to the page. TheBigFish (talk) 19:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~His agent has confirmed this claim as well.~

Edit had been made to the page stating that he was at home when he died, which I have amended. News sources have not yet specified where he was when he died (and I'm really not sure how it's relevant anyway), but implication seems to be that he was in a hospital in Los Angeles at the time of his death.

He died during outpatient procedure at a hospital.[2]--Oldman (talk) 23:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]


The article reads: "Clark died after suffering a heart attack following a medical procedure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California." ...but the unanswered question is: What kind of medical procedure? Was it a cardiac stress test? This procedure could have caused his heart attack, and knowing what kind of procedure it was is relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzzhuh (talk • contribs) 23:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before Pyramid, Clark had two brief runs as a quiz-show host, presiding over The Object Is and then Missing Links. On Missing Links, he replaced his former Philadelphia neighbor and subsequent TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes co-host, Ed McMahon, when the game show switched networks from NBC to ABC; NBC replaced Missing Links with Jeopardy!.

That sentence is no longer in the article, but the first mention of Bloopers has been linked. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:38, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 21 April 2012 - incorrect word choice

Under section "Game show host," 3rd word of following sentence is incorrect.

Entertainment Weekly created Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.

Context suggests this should instead be:

Entertainment Weekly credited Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.

In the article it states that Dick Clark's second wife's name is Loretta Martin. Thats seems like a wild concidence that "Sweet Loretta Martin" is named in the Beatles song "Get Back".
