  • Jeez, Dick was quite adept in any sort of company.

  • Are Tick You Late? Car Lick You Tate!

  • dissecting mister cavett, great!

  • "won men die on yo show cabbitt" haha :P

  • June 7, 1971 J. I. Rodale, an advocate of organic farming, died of a heart attack during taping. Cavett was speaking with journalist Pete Hamill when Rodale began to make a snoring noise. Cavett claims realized immediately that something was wrong, while other accounts have him addressing the unconscious man with "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?" The audience did not catch on until Cavett asked "Is there a doctor...in the audience?"

    The program was never aired and a rerun was aired in its place.

  • Who died on his show?

  • Rot in hell and talk to some survivors i know.

  • Burgess was a superb writer, but isn't his ensemble (green pants, gold socks) a trifle bizarre:)?

  • The book is simply called "Cavett." Buy it. It's by far the wittiest book I've ever read. It's just tremendously interesting. Every other chapter is (appropriately) a conversation between Cavett and his college roommate who by then was an editor at Time Magazine. And oh what conversation - two incredibly intelligent guys, and the conversation just crackles.

  • A delightful book indeed -- just reread it a couple years ago:) --

  • @tommynogo I want to act in your massive play! Not! Please! Yes! Television is such an interesting medium! Insert italics! WOOOOOO!

  • anthony burgess is THE greatest post ww2 author to have ever lived.

  • This is one of the funniest surreal things I've seen here! It's amusing enough to watch these shows through the lens of the future, but to see the people speculating about what might happen IN that future is funny because they are so clueless. And they are so clueless because they can't conceive of the possibility that The Future might be rather like their time is, and that they might amble on in their lives.

    Cavett's the only one living now, and he's writing for the NYT. Jerzy was spot on!

  • That woman has since died too? Who was she? I couldn't find any info... Barbara Hower it sounded like?

    Anyway, Jerzy is brilliant and it makes sense from who he is that he would be focused on whom one will become.
