American Bandstand is an American music-performance show that aired in various versions from 1952 to 1989 and was hosted from 1956 until its final season by
Dick Clark, who also served as producer. The show featured teenagers dancing to
Top 40 music introduced by Clark; at least one popular musical act—over the decades, running the gamut from
Jerry Lee Lewis to
Run DMC—would usually appear in person to
lip-sync one of their latest singles.
Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon holds the record for most appearances at 110.
