'''Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark''' is an [[American]] television host and presenter who voiced [[Dick Clark's head|his own head in a jar]] in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".  He is best known as the long-running host of ''{{w|American Bandstand}}'' from [[1956]] to [[1989]], ''{{w|Pyramid (game show)|Pyramid}}'' from [[1973]] to [[1988]], and ''{{w|Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest|Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve}}'' from [[1972]] through [[2004]].  In 2004, he suffered a stroke and relinquished his sole hosting duties for ''DCNYRE'', becoming co-host with now-executive producer {{w|Ryan Seacrest}}.  Until he fell ill, Clark was commonly known as "America's Oldest Teenager" due to his youthful demeanor and energy.

Cohen]] says that there was a lot of material left out because they didn't have enough air time for it.<ref name="SP3000 commentary">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David X.}} |speaker 2={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |disc=1 |volume=One}}</ref>  [[Matt Groening]] called Clark a "good sport" for reading lines that he didn't necessarily understand.<ref name="SP3000 commentary" />
