Everyone at my place were like "awww how sad" everytime DC spoke -- and that's the reaction you're going to get everytime he does this..

Let us all remember Mr. Clark in his top form, quintessential and unforgiving clue-giver:

I loved the beginning of the broadcast when Coop asked Kathy how he ended up with her -- was Starr Jones booked?

For the love of Christ, Kathy Griffin is such a disaster to behold. Could a comedienne be any more unfunny? And is there any denying that she's a tranny? Seriously, s/he should be singing Cher songs at Lucky Chang's.

As for Dick Clark, I think we should let him do his thing up until the exact moment that his life force leaves his body. If that means watching him gurgle something unintelligible on his deathbead 100 years from now, so be it.

@Beausoleil: Thanks for saying the above about Kathy Griffin. I just can't find her funny or interesting and her voice bothers me. I'm never interested in comedians whose entire schtick is "Look at me, I'm so wacky!" *shudder*

Michael J. Fox is a shoo-in to replace Dick Clark, having just narrowly edged out Muhammad Ali.

Mr. BookishLookish interviewed Dick Clark many years ago and I got to meet him. He is a gentleman of the highest caliber, forthright, honest, kind, sincere. Those of you who don't want to see the less-than-pleasant results of a stroke--that's life, baby: jump out of your plastic-fantastic universe for a minute and take a good, hard look at it.

He is in showbiz and he will go on till the end.

Miss Kathy? She's no Pearl Williams or Belle Barth, but she has her moments.

Obviously, this is about everybody's else discomfort with Dick Clark's infirmity. If the man wants to appear on his own show, it's nobody's goddamn business but his own. If you don't like it -- or simply can't accept the fact that there are people out there with health issues -- don't watch.

A cash-strapped Ed McMahon is desperately trying to sell a remake of the old TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes consisting of nothing but footage of Dick Clark reading the phone book while Ed places his stroke medication just out of reach.

@scroll_lock: Excellent. Are you as excited as I am about Ed's new commercial series about how the Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol comes to his house to give him a million bucks but he can't go to the door because he's stuck in his walk in tub until the water level goes down far enough for him to get out?

It was sad to see Dick Clark in that state. But I respectfully watched him. I don't know why, he would not have known if I had turned him off or laughed at him. It was as if, that may be me in 35 years and I just had to respect the man. I could see he had the excitement and euthusiasm (sp), but his body could not respond as quickly anymore. :-(

What was interesting is that executives thought to give his face a tan, but not his hands.

@loliver35: You crossed "euthanasia" with "enthusiasm" when describing Dick Clark. Good Freudian slip.

I couldn't believe the "dicks" comment made it on the air. Whoever was working the "seven second delay" must have fallen asleep at the switch. Though how anyone could nod off during Griffin's grating yammering is beyond moi.

Meanwhile on Fox, Knievel's jump may have seemed anti-climactic, but how 'bout those computer simulated crashes, including one that went strait into the fountain of fire!

@SpyderD: Yeah the 'dicks' comment was completely insane. I mean, hilarious, but poor Anderson just didn't know what the hell to do with her. I could have lived without the 'pap smear' joke though. It was just dumb and awkward.

@Almostbanned: The thing, it's not like Kathy's a secret, right? Either they wanted her as a loose cannon, or some producer somewhere has an axe to grind. Jilted by AC, perhaps?

@pooks: Sorry but I think it's REALLY horrible, and I figure if he's out there, he's out there because he wants to be out there, but I find it very unpleasant to see. It's sad and horrible, and I can't believe the network lets him continue. I guess they have to because of contract or something?
