At 99 years old, Dick Van Dyke missed his scheduled Vandy Camp comedy fundraiser due to illness. The actor's wife, Arlene Silver, hosted in his absence.

Dick Van Dyke was unable to attend a comedy event over the weekend after falling ill, his wife, Arlene Silver, told attendees. The legendary actor and Silver were scheduled to co-host their event, Vandy Camp, at the Arlene & Dick Van Dyke Theater at Malibu High School on Saturday, according to the event's official Instagram page.

Van Dyke and Silver normally co-host the Vandy Camp, a fan event, along with his musical quartet, the Vantastix. The show merges the longtime entertainer’s love for comedy, vaudeville and the circus into a one-day celebration at the Arlene and Dick Van Dyke Theater at California’s Malibu High School.
