Dick Clark sued for age discrimination
A 76-year-old game show producer sued âAmerican Bandstandâ icon Dick Clarkâs production company for age discrimination Monday, saying he was “embarrassed, humiliated and aggravatedâ when he was passed up for a job by his fellow septuagenarian.Ralph Andrews, producer of such game shows as âLiarâs Clubâ and âCelebrity Sweepstakes,â claims in his Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that Clark, 74, sent him a letter in May of 2003 saying he was too old for a job with his production company.
In Clark’s defense, he looks much younger than 74.

Jeez, I think I can remember watching Dick Clark when he was 34!
How the heck does a 74-year-old man manage to make a 42-year-old man feel old?
