=== Tropes invoked by Dick Clark ===
* [[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]]; ''[[Pyramid|The $25,000 Pyramid]]'' aired on weekday mornings on [[CBS]]; and ''[[T vs. Bloopers and Practical Jokes|TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes]]'' aired weekly on [[NBC (Creator)|NBC]] during primetime hours. In addition, he concurrently hosted ''[[Pyramid|The $100,000 Pyramid]]'', which [[Syndication|ran in syndication]].
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Game Show Host]]
* [[Good Withwith 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'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzsOYtGNHtk he bungled the descriptions by mixing each car's year models].
* [[Long Runners|Long Runner]]: He spent six decades in entertainment.
* [[Older Than They Look|Older Than He Looks]]
* [[The Cameo]]: Dick appeared as himself in several shows, including:
** ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (TV)|The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]''
** ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''
** ''[[Police Squad!]]''
** ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|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 ''[[The Tonight Show|Tonight Show]]'' run, in which Clark, in Egyptian garb, hosted ''[[Affectionate Parody|The 25,000 Year Old Pyramid]]''.
