As the host of this dance show on Creator/{{ABC}}, Creator/DickClark became known as "America's oldest teenager". ''American Bandstand'' originated in UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}}, and went national in 1957. It was a weekday show until 1963, when it switched to Saturdays only. In 1987, the show left ABC for FirstRunSyndication, where it lasted only one year before moving to the Creator/USANetwork, where it ended in 1989.

** ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'''s ''Corny Collins Show'' is reminiscent of ''Bandstand'' (it's actually based on ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buddy_Deane_Show The Buddy Deane Show]]''), and the 2007 film confirms that yes, Creator/BrittanySnow may well have been there (being the lead dancer on both).

* DuelingShows: with ''SoulTrain'' in the 1970s and 80s. Although neither Clark nor Don Cornelius really competed with each other, fans compared them all the time.
