Isn't there already a thread on this in the "General" Forum of the TV section?

My apologies for the redundancies: some people are frequent posters/readers of the "Green Room" forum, which is a place for general discussions outside of GSN, and the late Mr. Clark was also a radio DJ, TV producer, and host of several other programs that weren't game shows, such as American Bandstand, TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes, Rockin' New Year's Eve countdown specials, in addition to being well-remembered as one of the iconic hosts of the Pyramid franchise.
