 * American Bandstand
 * The Challengers
 * New Year's Rockin' Eve
 * Pyramid (several versions)
 * Scattergories
 * TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes

 * The Weird Al Show


 * Channel Hop: Dick actually hosted three concurrently running series—one on each of the three major networks—during the 1980s: American Bandstand aired Saturdays on ABC; The $25,000 Pyramid aired on weekday mornings on CBS; and TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes aired weekly on NBC during primetime hours. In addition, he concurrently hosted The $100,000 Pyramid, which ran in syndication.
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Game Show Host
 * Good with Numbers: Averted, especially on Pyramid, where Dick's troubles with numbers were frequently on public display.
 * On two occasions, while describing two cars as Mystery 7 prizes on Pyramid, he bungled the descriptions by mixing each car's year models.
 * Long Runner: He spent six decades in entertainment.
 * Older Than He Looks
 * The Cameo: Dick appeared as himself in several shows, including:
 * The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
 * Futurama
 * Police Squad!
 * The Simpsons
 * Self-Parody: Dick would occasionally play along with humor that was related to how young he looked, despite his age.
 * This was taken to an unusual extreme on Jay Leno's original Tonight Show run, in which Clark, in Egyptian garb, hosted The 25,000 Year Old Pyramid.
