The 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards (Sun., 9Pm Et on CBS) honored entertainment icon Dick Clark with a star-studded tribute recognizing his nearly 40-year TV show, 'American Bandstand.' During the musical roundup, Chubby Checker (who performed on 'Bandstand' in 1960) pulled Susan Lucci onto the stage to do the twist.
Simon Cowell said, "Without 'Bandstand,' without Dick, there would be no 'American Idol.'" Ryan Seacrest told Clark, "I personally want to thank you -- what you've done for our industry, for music and for me. I'm proud to be your friend."
"Did I write that for you?" joked the still-feisty stroke survivor, before tearing up during a standing ovation.
The accolades continued with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Agnes Nixon, creator of 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live.'

Were it not for cooler heads prevailing, the 37th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday might have opened with host Regis Philbin strutting onto the Las Vegas Hilton stage, dressed in a gold lame outfit and belting out "Viva Las Daytime." Philbin nixed the idea.
"He said, 'I talked to a lot of people and they (don't) want to see me in an Elvis outfit,' " says the telecast's executive producer, Al Schwartz.
The decision was probably a wise dodge of camp on Philbin's part, but this year's Daytime Emmys will still be a gold-lame version of its former self.
