[78-L] Dick Clark gone

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Since his fanclub president mentions "tonight" it is most likely predates the scandal in 1958. when ABC gave Clark a Saturday-night time slot for The Dick Clark Saturday night Beechnut Show , which originated from the Little Theatre in Manhattan, beginning on February 15, 1958. The Saturday show ran until 1960. This information Courtesy of the Old Gas-Bag, aimed at the younger know-it-alls. LOL

It could have been in 1957. He appeared three times on the show that year: August 19, October 10, and November 4.

A real bottom line guy who paid employees as little as he could get away with and whose facade of niceness on the air hid a cold-hearted interior. I also hated that he never permitted acts on AB to play live. Everything had to be lip-synched to save money on production costs, licensing, performance royalties - he knew the business but I'll bet he still had the first dollar he ever earned.
