As an entertainment writer for almost four years now, I have learned to predict what people will search for, especially on big days such as New Years. Yes, Google trends help too, but I promise it is mostly instinct

Without fail, every year on New Years eve, a popular search is “How old is Dick Clark.” Poor guy! I mean that has to give him a complex! Dick was born on November 30, 1929, and just turned 81. If you are looking for his age, you may also be interested in some other fun facts about Clark, so I have gathered them and posted below along with old videos and pictures for your enjoyment.
