Dick Van Dyke has won numerous Emmys, a Grammy, and a Tony. He’s received a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award and the Kennedy Center Honors. He’s been inducted into both the Television Hall Of Fame and the Disney Legends Hall Of Fame. But for years, we’ve all been wondering: When is this guy finally gonna get the VMA he deserves? At last, that happened yesterday, on his 100th birthday.
Last year Van Dyke starred in and co-produced a video for Coldplay’s “All My Love” for his 99th birthday. That clip won Best Rock Video at the 2025 MTV VMAs back in September. Van Dyke didn’t make it out to the awards show, but during his big birthday bash yesterday, his wife Arlene Silver presented him with his first-ever moon man trophy in recognition of the award. I don’t think he was all that impressed, which is fine. He’s 100. It’d take a lot to impress him at this point.
Also during Van Dyke’s birthday, Jon Batiste performed a handful of songs on piano. He did “Put On A Happy Face” from Bye Bye Birdie and “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from Mary Poppins, but it wasn’t until Batiste did “When The Saints Go Marching In” that Van Dyke starting singing along.
I hope Van Dyke also got a chance to watch those Jeopardy! reruns. See clips from his birthday party below.
