Dick Van Dyke went to Disneyland yesterday, and he found himself being serenaded by some of his biggest fans. As soon as The Dapper Dans saw the legend, they had to sing to him one of their favorite tunes, Jolly Holiday from Mary Poppins, a little film he made 60 years ago with Julie Andrews (who turned 88 yesterday).

What did the 97-year-old think of their rendition? He loved it. And he shared a little story about filming that song, “Julie sang, like, a little sharp on top of the note, and I just went crazy. I’m flat most of the time. I had trouble staying with her because she was always a little bit sharp.” I never noticed during the umpteenth times my older niece made me watch that musical.

Back to the barbershop quartet, I loved their faces beaming with pride because they were able to sing for the OG and GOAT. It is a moment they will never forget. For all of the people they have delighted throughout the years, it was nice to see them being delighted by someone else.

And back to Van Dyke. Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair during their performance, he was standing up in other videos that were captured from the park yesterday.

Dick Van Dyke is doing his first soap opera!

Dick Van Dyke is 97, so you would think he has done it all. He hasn’t.

This year has been full of firsts for the beloved actor. First, he appeared on The Masked Singer, which was his singing competition debut. And in the Fall, he was will make his soap opera debut on Days of our Lives on Peacock.

He will play a mysterious older gentleman with amnesia who is helped by John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena Evans (Diedre Hall).

And Van Dyke has Hogestyn to thank for the role. “Drake and I went to the same gym together. I used to kid him, ‘Don’t you have any parts for old people? C’mon get me a part,'” Van Dyke told Access Hollywood. “He took me seriously and got me a part.”

Even though he has been playing older men since his youth, this is the first time playing one that is not comedic.

I can’t wait to see Van Dyke on DOOL! Who knows, maybe he will stick around like Jackée Harry has.

When police arrived on the scene, they noticed that he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, but he refused to go to the hospital even though they suspected that he might’ve suffered a concussion.

Hopefully, he is OK and back to his old self.

Before Joel McHale was solving murders in The Happytime Murders, he was murdered on Diagnosis Murder. He looks the same now as he did when he was 28 in that 2000 episode.

Dick Van Dyke leaves them in tears on The Masked Singer

The Masked Singer has been saying that they were going to have their greatest reveal this season, and they weren’t lying.

Yesterday on the season premiere, the Gnome sang When Your Smiling, and that left the audience smiling. However, it was not good enough to send him through to the next round. So when it came time to reveal who he was, there were tears from Nicole Scherzinger and the audience. Because everyone loves Dick Van Dyke, and they felt so fortunate to be in the same room with him to witness his greatness at 97. That’s right. He is 97, but you would never it looking at those beautiful blue eyes.

He never ages, even though he gets better with it.

Thank you to the Fox singing competition for making this happen. It was a genuine surprise and well worth it.

To hear him sing the song, he performed on the show, then click here!
