Dick Van Dyke, at the age of 98, has made history by becoming the oldest person to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy award. The nomination came for his guest star role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, where he portrayed the character Timothy Robicheaux in a special four-part arc alongside his longtime friend Drake Hogestyn.
Van Dyke expressed his excitement about landing the role, jokingly asking for a part for 'old people' and being pleasantly surprised when he was given the opportunity. To prepare for his role, he diligently watched episodes of Days of Our Lives to understand the dynamics of the show and its long-standing cast members.
