Dick's boring-as-hell monolog from 24 September 1971

[Bdrums1971]

Dick Cavett is great. He has a very understated way of being funny. It's a more intelligent way of being funny than the "in your face" comics. I guess it's called subtle humor. I prefer it.

I thought this guy was boring all the way around. So 70's...

Cavett was a great interviewer but his monologues weren't the best from what I can see. I think its because he is better at being a conversationalist rather trying to give one liner jokes in a comedic monologue. Jack Paar was the same way and he thrived just by having a conversation with the audience or a guest when he hosted the Tonight Show and later his weekly "The Jack Paar Show."

Wow man, you weren't kidding... this one really is boring as hell.

Dick is very talented but he sure struck out here.

You seem to really hate Cavett, don't you? I don't think he's boring in the least.
