Performing for Dick Van Dyke once was fun.

All of us involved say 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play.

'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life.

I got my first television at Stanford when I was 20, and I used to watch 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'. He played my father on 'Becker,' and he's still one of my heroes. Along with John Cleese, he's my favourite physical comedian.

'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was a huge influence on me as a kid. It looked like a really fun job.

If I couldn't be Dick Van Dyke, I wanted to be Art Carney.

Dick Van Dyke was my first idol. He's an amazing physical comedian, like a classic clown, but also very smart and not afraid to show vulnerability.

I've had a lot of writers, in particular, who said they got into writing because of the 'Van Dyke Show.' They said it looked like fun.

And then Dick called and said, I'm going to do a special called Dick Van Dyke and the other woman, that would be you, because every time I try to check into a hotel with my wife, they look at me as though I'm cheating on Laura.

I think anyone that grew up in the '70s and '80s grew up with Bob Barker and Wink Martindale and I think that was just always... when you were a game show host, you were the man of the hour.
