May you rest in peace, Mr. Clark. Thank you for so many, many years of great television & entertainment. No one can take your place, ever. Sympathies to your family, & friends.
I think it's horrible that at the bottom of this nice article about a great man, that they are already comparing a great man to Ryan Seacrest. I mean really do you think anyone can replace or even come come to Dick Clark? No especially not Ryan Seacrest.
Dick Clark gave show biz what it needed, he "WAS"
