Ryan Seacrest and Stevie Wonder paid homage to their "friend" Dick Clark in a special tribute at the 2012 American Music Awards. Clark created the AMAs 40 years ago. The tribute is the first to take place to honor the entertainment legend of "American Bandstand" fame since he died of a heart attack in April at the age of 82. Seacrest, who worked closely with Clark on ABCs annual New Year's special "New Year's Rockin' Eve," opened the tribute to Clark, who he described as "America's oldest teenager," at the event held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 18.
