    Storyline

    Edit
    Daytime, primetime, then late-night talk and variety show. Often there was only one guest (GA Gov. Lester Maddox walked out angrily during one interview). Cavett was intelligent and witty, perhaps too much so for television. —Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Jerome Rodale, a pioneer of organic gardening and founder of "Prevention" magazine, actually died of a heart attack while being interviewed on Cavett's show in 1971. Cavett at first thought his guest had dozed off to sleep. During the interview, Rodale stated his intention to live to be 100. He only made it to 72. The show was never aired.
    • Goofs
      The announcers pronounce "Cavett" as rhyming with "have-it", the proper/technical pronunciation is as rhyming with "save-it".

    THE BEST
    The Dick Cavett Show is the best talk show. I wasn't even born when it's on during the network run. I saw those episodes on the VH-1 Archives, the ones with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Paul Simon, Jefferson Airplane, Sly and The Family Stone, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, and More.

    I was born on the same birthday as Dick Cavett's.

    The Best.

    I Give it *****.
