“Dick Van Dyke is without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers to ever grace the big or small screens. I grew up idolizing him in Mary Poppins, and Iu0026#39;m sure everyone has a similar story about one of his iconic roles or another. In this TV special, a musical tribute is given to Van Dyke on his astounding 98th birthday–and it is truly magical!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe basic format of this CBS special is a series of musical tributes from the likes of Zachary Levi, Rita Ora, Amber Riley, JoJo Siwa, and Jason Alexander (to name just a few) set to his many classic TV/movie song numbers. Interspersed are clips from Van Dykeu0026#39;s illustrious career, as well as video tributes and live interviews with the man himself. Because Dick was involved in so many iconic properties, every note and word is moving.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is also a joy to see Van Dykeu0026#39;s reaction to the proceedings! His energy at 98 is quite literally unmatched and he is equal parts excited and touched here. Every time the camera turns to him, there is a smile on his face that lights up the entire venue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite only being alive for half (if that) of Dick Van Dykeu0026#39;s storied career, I was as moved as anyone, I think, by this tribute. My childhood came to life in the Mary Poppins numbers, and I was able to see the entire breadth of Dicku0026#39;s body of work. There is not a person alive today I couldnu0026#39;t recommend u0026quot;98 Years of Magicu0026quot; to!”
