Dick Clark hosted this short-lived variety show telecast live from NBC Studios in Burbank. The series was an odd hodgepodge of talents, with wildly varied and disparate acts performing and unconnected segments introduced. Being the reigning king of 50s and 60s nostalgia, Dick Clark presented many of the pioneers of rock and pop music, live and in old TV clips. Thrown in were stand up comics, current music hit makers, reunions and tributes to stars. Also, to justify the series being live, a death-defying stunt was performed on each program, generally outside of the studio or at a remote location.moreless
