Glad I watched all the way to the end: that jazzy 1960s theme with Terry Gilliam-esque animation, what a hoot!

This was wonderful. Thank you for the compliation and the surprise ending of the Dick Cavett show.

Almost makes you cry to see two pros like Cavett and Dave kibitz compared to the lightweights ruling late night these days.

I'm having such a great time watching these, thanks so much! IIRC the phone bit Dick was referring to when he was bumped was hilarious.

RICK MORANIS did a dead-on impression of CAVETT, and MERV GRIFFIN..damn they were great!

Cavett is so good at teasing and doing dry, calm, complete BS on the spot that you never know when he’s kidding. So good. Him and Eddie Murphy hanging around just shooting the breeze would be a great 400-episode series.

That's about what he looked like when I briefly met him..I really didn't know what to say to him but he was extremely polite and very handsome. I said something silly like "what a great looking jawline you have!"...instantly thinking what an odd thing to say..but I'm odd anyway. I really don't remember his retort because I was so embarrassed by my own bizarre remark.

But I'd bet he remembered the unusual remark you made, and thus, you. Great anecdote

Don this is great. Thanks so much for this. I hope you can do a Colbert one someday, but it is a lot of appearances.

I saw the name Michael Stanislavsky during the end of What's In. He later went on to be a driving force as not just one of the heads of Gracie Films, but a production manager in his own right, but not in NYC, but in LA instead.

I can only speculate about why Dick Cavett never made any more appearances... but there's not much to speculate on? Any reason why Cavett didnt appear after this, or on the late show?

Maybe you can shed some light on this.. But why on earth did they end some guests segments, like Cavett's at 46:00 at the beginning or the middle of the segment? It's very awkward.

Nope; the selections are hosts who preceded Dave. Besides, I’ve already put together a two-part Dave/Conan compilation.

THANK YOU!!!!!! For all these. I remember many of the Cavett shows, and had the biggest crush on him. I wonder if there is, ANYwhere footage of the Rodale death. I cannot be the only one with morbid curiosity.

@ingridsitems 2 жыл бұрын

From what I've read, the footage never aired, and supposedly Dick holds the only copy of the footage.
