It was Dick's first television appearance since co-hosting the annual "New Year's Rockin' Eve" last year.
At last night's ceremony, he spoke about his accomplishments and lifelong dreams, "Before I had my stroke I was thinking about all of the things I've been involved with all of my life - music, comedy, drama, even talk shows, even reality TV," he told the crowd.
"And I realized that I have accomplished my childhood dream to be in show business. Everybody should be so lucky to have their dreams come true."
In a tribute to the actor, "American Idol" judge, Simon Cowell, showed clips from Dick's long, successful television career, including decades of "American Bandstand." The clips also showed a variety of artists Dick has had the honor of introducing over the years, including Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson and Madonna.
