Edit request 21 April 2012 - incorrect word choice

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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.

Forever Young

Prior to his stroke, Dick Clark was notable for seeming to never age. There were lots of jokes to that effect, and I believe a moniker along the lines of "America's oldest teenager". Supposedly Kathleen Turner in the film Peggy Sue Gets Married had a line referring to Clark such as, “Look at that man; he never ages." I wouldn't know how to properly source any of this, but it is really one of the most fun facts about Dick Clark, and it's a shame it's not in the article. For people of my generation it was the one of the main things he was known for. 204.145.225.27 (talk) 03:56, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
