CBS to Honor Dick Van Dyke With 98th Birthday Special

Television and film icon Dick Van Dyke is set to receive a special tribute on CBS next month. Titled “Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic,” the celebration will air on Thursday, Dec. 21, from 9:00 to 11:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and will be available for streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).

Honoring the Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning Van Dyke for his lasting impact on the arts and entertainment, the tribute will transport viewers back to the iconic set of The Dick Van Dyke Show.
