Don't put people's age in the headlines, jeez.

Seems valid to show the age if you’re winning an award and the oldest person to ever do so

Put it at the end, otherwise, this is knowing clickbait.

"Dick Van Dyke wins Emmy, at 98" reads very differently than, "Dick Van Dyke, 98, wins Emmy". We're trained to recognize structure of the second as a death announcement.

Got me there in the beginning…

Good for him!

He's the original Hollywood nice guy and I hope no skeletons come out after he dies because I want to always think of him that way.

Also, I totally do not associate him with soap operas, so I did not expect this at all.

Same lol. Ig when you’re 98, you take whatever gig you think sounds fun

What a great person, and it's amazing to see him sharp and...SPRY at 98.

I think he's had the ring quite long enough

Man he looks good for 98, I hope I look that good at 80.

Another old dude who looks great is William Shatner. He is 93 but I honestly would guess 50s or 60s by looking at him.

I'd like to ____ her van... fuck no, eject eject, there's no safe way to end this joke. Snake? Snake! SNAAKE!

Sometimes I write a joke like this and then, instead of hitting post, I hit cancel. That's worked out pretty well for me so far.

That's quite fair. It's an awful joke.

Is this really old one better or worse?

A young man goes to audition for a talent agency. Can you sing? He sings. Not bad! Can you dance? He dances. Hey, pretty good! Can you be funny? He tells a better joke than this one, and executes a spectacular pratfall. That's marvelous! I think I can sign you, what's your name? Penis Van Lesbian. That will never do! We have to change it. And so Dick Van Dyke was born.
