Often referred to as "America's oldest teenager" because of his youthful appearance and enthusiasm for "youth culture" Clark's show ran consistently from the fifties to the eighties.
Here's Captain Beefheart on the Hot Line at American Bandstand on June 18, 1966 which captures Clark's style perfectly. Youtube uploader "bigdavej69" describes it, "After Don answers some probing questions from one of the shows dancers everyone gets to jump around to Diddy Wah Diddy", (hilariously)
"markwynn01" also informs us "The girl on the phone was Squeeky Fromm". Now there's a name to conjure with.
It can be said these are bygone days of innocence and optimism.
