Aging like a fine Dick.
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheroo
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Got me there in the beginning…
Good for him!
Don't put people's age in the headlines, jeez.
Seems valid to show the age if you’re winning an award and the oldest person to ever do so
I'm assuming they also saw the age and jumped ahead into the mourning process.
Put it at the end, otherwise, this is knowing clickbait.
"Dick Van Dyke wins Emmy, at 98" reads very differently than, "Dick Van Dyke, 98, wins Emmy". We're trained to recognize structure of the second as a death announcement.
At least don't put it first!
He's the original Hollywood nice guy and I hope no skeletons come out after he dies because I want to always think of him that way.
Also, I totally do not associate him with soap operas, so I did not expect this at all.
Same lol. Ig when you’re 98, you take whatever gig you think sounds fun
What a great person, and it's amazing to see him sharp and...SPRY at 98.
Man he looks good for 98, I hope I look that good at 80.
Another old dude who looks great is William Shatner. He is 93 but I honestly would guess 50s or 60s by looking at him.
I think he's had the ring quite long enough
His show still holds up
