Yeah, I grew up in Australia and, being a chess nerd, saw his interview with Bobby Fisher. Dick is amazing, huh? So classy and intelligent but still very human. Happy to let his guests empty their hearts but always ready with a line when necessary. Peeps here like Johnny Carson, but he doesn't have the depth and sophistication of Dick. From your neck of the woods, Parkinson was a good one too (and on air in Australia, unlike Dick).

@phillipecook3227 Жыл бұрын

@@DavidSchilter I wasn't aware of either until the internet and KZfaq came along. Stylistically Carson and Cavett come across as very different interviewers (tho interestingly both were serious comedy writers before becoming famous). Carson mostly kept the mood light and upbeat. My impression is that unlike Cavett he was personal friends with many of his guests (?) which helped in that regard. Of course I was aware of Parkinson growing up in the UK. For a time he had a rival on ITV called Russell Harry. If you want an example of a " serious" interview try and find the latter's interview with actor Dirk Bogarde. It's a belter.

I have loved this woman since I was a small child and I would play my moms sonny and Cher records and then I saw moonstruck and mermaids in the same year when I was 9 or 10 and I was hooked. Those movies remain some of my all time favorites. After that I taught out every.interview I.could read or record. She is such a good example for women. She stands up for herself, she's honest, she doesn't tone herself down to what she thinks other people may like. But it turns out shes not really that wild and crazy or abnornal. Unapologetically herself and I wish so bad that I had more of that confidence and beauty. She is amazing. I would listen to her just as she is for hours and hours Love you always cherilyn sarkisian(spelling?)

Cherilyn Sarkisian (El Centro, California, 20 de mayo de 1946), conocida como Cher, es una cantante, actriz, y celebridad de televisión estadounidense, comúnmente citada por los medios como la «Diosa del Pop». Su extensa carrera como cantante, sumada con su extravagancia en el vestir, su influencia en la televisión durante la década de los 70, su incursión en diversos géneros musicales, así como su notable trabajo en el cine, la han convertido en una de las artistas más influyentes de la cultura pop en el mundo. 77 años.

Oh, you lost half a minute, maybe one; if it's a video, a few mins ...big deal. If you're surfing around, and clicked on a post to begin with - especially one on a popular entertainer - then you're obviously very accustomed to wasting time anyway.
