10. DICK CLARK
A tribute by Ryan Seacrest: ''Dick Clark mastered the art of being everyone's best friend on television. He was middle America. You just wanted to be a member of the American Bandstand club, and he was the club leader. You can have the worst fight with your girlfriend, then you hear his voice? Back to a happy place. He writes handwritten notes. September 17, 2007, [one day after the Emmys]: ''Bravo, Ryan. You were perfect. Best, Dick.''
