Did Anybody Else LOL AT Dick Clark's "Dramatic Revelation?"

[K8-EEE]

...on Larry King? Ready??? Ready, he's coming forward with a fact that the promos say concerns his personal health and "may shock you."

Ready? Are you sitting down?

TYPE 2 DIABETES!

God! Who cares? Is this guy starving for attention and can't wait til New Year's 2005 or WHAT?

Hey not knocking diabetes but the promos for this were super dramatic. Don't a LOT of people in their 70's have that? Let's have my dad or some other more interesting person with Type 2 Diabetes on, less shocking but less BORING too. I'm sorry I never could stand that guy!

[skooooo]

1. Are you sure it's not cancer..??

Seems like I heard that somewhere...maybe not.

[0007]

32. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((gong)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

This is not Richard A. Clarke your talking about.

Wake Up!!!!!!

[Celeborn Skywalker]

2. Are you serious??

Type 2 diabetes is bad but, shit, I thought he had stage 4 cancer or something.

[Kahuna]

3. I thought I saw tears in the promo.

:shrug:

[didntvote4shrub]

4. Just a minute, though...

::::God! Who cares? Is this guy starving for attention and can't wait til New Year's 2005 or WHAT?
::::

You know, it isn't necessarily Dick Clarke that had anything whatsoever to do with the promos, is it? I'm not watching LK, but, is that the whole focus of what he wants to talk about, or is it more that that's how CNN decided to pimp the show?

[K8-EEE]

22. I Dunno But It Was So Stupid

Probably more CNNs spin but why else would you want to hear the same "America's Oldest Teenager" BS??

[DAGDA56]

5. The Orlando Sentinel had it in a very tiny blurb this morning...

...my firs thought was, gee Dick, you're 74! Take a Glucophage and cut back on the alcohol...

[robbedvoter]

6. Unlike you, the truth about 9.11 is important to me and someone who risked

his life to put it out is worthy of my respect.
That larry King is trying to get audience with an irrelevant detail from his interview takes nothing from Clarke's heroism. Reveals you though.

[DAGDA56]

7. Ummm...are we talking about the same Dick Clark?

...for disc jockey, TV new anchor in Philly, best known host of American Bandstand? You know, that Dick Clark...now, if he risked his life with regard to 9/11, I didn't know about it...but Dick Clark? New Years Eve in Times Square?

[diddlysquat]

8. Dick Clark or Richard Clarke?

I assumed you meant Dick Clark the dance guy. Richard Clarke is not 74 yrs. old. I agree with you on the Type 2 Diabetes though. As a Type 1 for most of my life I have no sympathy with those who can't even handle Type 2.

[galadrium]

9. Which Dick Clark are you all talking about?

I thought this thread was about the American Bandstands Dick Clark

[NightTrain]

10. I don't think that's the "Dick Clark" who was on Larry King last night.

Unless I miss my guess, the Dick Clark in question is the creator of "American Bandstand," the man who did much to emasculate rock 'n' roll in the late 1950s, thus making it more "acceptable" to suburban parents. :puke:

[DAGDA56]

12. Yeah, that's the one...and I remain mystified as to how I managed to...

...offend "robbedvoter" so badly. I don't even want to get into Kerry vs. Kerrey...

[robbedvoter]

15. OK, mea culpa. Wrong Clark(e)

Still, why laugh at an irrelevant guy's irrelevant problems? You'll be 74 some day.

[DAGDA56]

16. I can only hope so...

nt

[K8-EEE]

20. In 30 Years, And Will It Be "Shocking" When I Am??

What the hell is shocking about a 74 y/o having type 2 diabetes? I mean it's a DRAG but it's not a "shocking revelation." Like I said, I'm not dissing the disease but the way this was done on CNN was just tooooo corny!

[mike1963]

13. It would be helpful to our cause if you paid a bit more attention...

:eyes:

[WillyT]

11. LOL, This Is Too Funny !!!

Thanks fer the laugh!!!

:bounce:

[Cocoa]

14. Dick Clark, we hardly knew ye

[Vickers]

17. lmao

:toast:

I'll give that a 92...good beat, you can dance to it.

[AlCzervik]

18. I'm so glad i didnt tune into that.

Although i am a little sad, i thought for sure he was going to reveal that he had been drinking the blood of virgins to stay so "Young" looking. I guess he didnt bring his portrait of Dorian Grey either?

[K8-EEE]

21. He's Turned Into Morton Downey!

That's exactly who he looks like...

[stanwyck]

19. He certainly didn't come across too well

in Michael Moore's "Bowling for Coloumbine".

[UTUSN]

23. Neh, You're Not Knocking Diabetes, Just Dems

But I'm sure I'm wrong.

[K8-EEE]

25. Ummmm...hope you're wrong about WHAT? n/m

??

[UTUSN]

28. You're Not on Any Dem Side? Am I Wrong? n/t

[K8-EEE]

29. What?

I am a Democrat, is that what you mean? What does that mean not on any dem side?

I'm just not reading you!

[kskiska]

24. I love Larry's dramatic promos

One night it was, "Barbara Eden Breaks Her Silence About Her Son's Death!" (a suicide). I wasn't even aware he'd died, or that she'd been silent.

Larry also seems to miss the boat on the big story of the day. Many a night when the world was blowing up, I'd tune in to Larry to see Marie Osmond, Pat Boone, or a psychic no one ever heard of.

[K8-EEE]

26. Marie Osmond Handing The Baby Over To The Maid

with a credit card and TOOK OFF!!

I LOVED THAT ONE! lol..

[Reciprocity]

27. Okay I'm bad for asking this but..

...is he working for some pharmaceutical company hawking their wonder drug?

[K8-EEE]

30. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!

You know what I turned it off after the dramatic, shocking revelation was made....maybe he is doing that!!

I loved when Michael Moore was asking him about the tax breaks he was getting for hiring the welfare moms for slave wages and he was just like, NOOOOO COMMENT!! All that was kind of more shocking than the diabetes revelation!

[osaMABUSh]

31. I thought it had to do with 'appearance' in Bowling for Columbine

You know where 'welfare to work' had serious harm on an employee's family who worked for him.

I was hoping the real Dick Clarke was going to be on LK.
