Poor Dick Clark

He looks awful. I think it's great that he still wants to do it, but all the makeup just makes him look worse.

Not able to watch right now, but I'm assuming his aphasia remains...

and I think it is great that he wants to do it. It is a great example for others who have had a stroke. I just think they should allow his appearance to come through. I like how the media worked with that Iraqi burn victim, JR Martinez -- a little makeup but not so much that it looked like he was trying to cover up his scars.
