Where To Watch
Carl Reiner once called Dick Van Dyke's talent ''sickening''
Surprisingly, this was high praise.
Have you ever seen someone so talented that it almost makes you angry? If you haven't it's most likely the case that you're the talented person instilling rage in your friends and family, so have some mercy.
As a singer, dancer, and actor, it's almost unfair how talented Dick Van Dyke is. We're not the only injured party here. Van Dyke's close friend Carl Reiner spoke of his friend during an interview with the Ventura County Star.
"He's the greatest single male performing talent working today," said Reiner of Van Dyke. "He's so good it's sickening to us actors who watch him work every day. It's terrible to realize that no matter what you do, he can do it better. He's the jack of all trades - and master."
Of course, it's not enough for Van Dyke to be talented and handsome. He's also incredibly humble. For his part, Van Dyke credited Reiner and his costars for the success of a series like The Dick Van Dyke Show.
"First, Carl Reiner who conceived it and who set the tone that prevailed," said Van Dyke. "Second, the lucky combination of the cast. Everyone cared. We wouldn't let it go on the air if it wasn't right. We'd work many a night till midnight to get it right."
The true success of The Dick Van Dyke Show couldn't possibly be distilled into a few words, to be honest. However, the series introduced us to Dick Van Dyke, which we'll always be grateful for!
