Dick & Woody talk about food & health

[dani9714]

I love Woody Allen, he's a comedic genius. Dick Cavett's such a great great host, my favourite next to Johnny Carson.

I've never seen Dick Cavett's hair move. Was it a plastic cap?

[CreamedCheesed]

Is it a trademark (however unintentional it might be) of the show to have the microphone overhead clearly in view?

[ePhilosopher9]

rerally, well ther mark twain awrd for comedy went to steve martin AFTER you had played clarinet at the new orleans jazz and heritage festival, it's funny that steve martin played banjo. Go figur

[ePhilosopher9]

so if in 2011 the crab nebula would be boiled in a forest, wood it scream?

[tomsega]

Cavett was a great interviewer. Many, dare I say most modern US chat show hosts are vulgar, stupid or boring, if not all three, and have a tendency to use the word "like" as if they're a schoolgirl on a cellphone, regardless the stature of the person they're talking to.

[reach2prasanna]

These 2 are legends in their own right, the intro by Mr.Cavett and the way Woody dorged the background music before taking his seat are just super amazing and an insight into these 2 geniuses comic sense.

timeless humor

INTERESTING FACT: J. I. Rodale died of a heart attack while taping an episode of The Dick Cavett Show.

90 percent of your cholesterol is produced inside your body! Old school nutrition....

[godhelpme2009]

fear of cholesterol, per se, is one of many extremely exploited & baseless contemporary health concerns.

If someone is eating whole foods , they do not have to worry about cholesterol.

Processed foods & drinks ; foods & drinks w/ additives & preservatives ; rancid oils ; lots of fried foods ; too much sugar , salt , caffeine. These are things to pat attention to, AND if someone is getting no excercise their body will be less resilient in all ways.

[antimatterXXXIII]

@godhelpme2009 Literally "whole-hearted" agreement here - I was amazed that cholesterol paranoia was already so fully developed in 1971. Drugs such as Lipitor, which act directly on the liver, do far more harm than good - and probably killed my father after making his last years miserable. Eat sensibly and you'll be fine.

[godhelpme2009]

antimatterXXXIII, i am genuinely sorry to hear about your experience of your father's last years

I wish that was a unique story , or even unusual, but even in my own limited experience I've known 2 who were effectively tortured and killed by the "care' they received while in the hospital.

1 of those hospitals being the famous Sloan-Kettering

I know that description could sound mela-dramatic and therefore an exaggeration , but unfortunately its neither. The treatment they received killed them.

Nietzsche made a truly great film? HUh

[toReasonWhy]

Who said that? No, Nietzsche made truly great books.

[diddeliduddi]

I get rather nervous myself watching the old chum..

[avastyer]

Talking about dying on stage:

A few years after this interview, UK comedian Tommy Cooper literally died on stage and it took the audience quite a while to realise that it wasn't one of his famous slapstick routines.

[dallasfrommichael]

woody is great on here! never seen it before, man he's great during this interview, especially in the first bit with the flower. "next time i'd prefer a buick" haha.

[JerkieLegLeg]

lol he's amazing!

[bonesintheriver]

white bread that i soaked in warm water lmfao

[thedarklobo88]

you can see the microphone lol

[Frozenhotdogger]

AHHHHHH, the seventies...sigh I kinda wish I was there, lol.

[LMB222]

1971... That's only 37 years ago....

[anitasseo]

che, dale la mano a dick, loco! que es un copado

[d0g69s]

AHAHAHAHAHA!

[matukonyc]

Can one imagine this being aired today? Perhaps as counter-programming against fat people being hurled against cut-out foam walls?

[jjadgemini88]

lmao

[wildhippy]

Don't get me wrong, Cavett looks great, but he looks about 45 to me, but he is really about 35 if this was '71

[hurley911]

This young Dick Cavett reminds me a little of a young George H.W. Bush

[darkprose]

I love this interview -- Cavett did superior interviews, he took time, he asked good questions, and you felt like you took away something substantial from his interviews. I miss them! Thank you for posting these, cavettbiter!

[unconventionalmeans]

@darkprose

I liked Dick Cavettt too. But to be fair, one thing about Dick that was kinda bogus was the fact that his mannerisms were so "Johnny Carson-ish"!

I mean, you gotta admit, to a certain extent, when Dick Cavett was standing on stage doing his opening routine......he was kind of a Johnny Carson rip-off.

But having said all that...I do think that Dick Cavett had better guests on his show than Carson had on hi. Cavett had way more younger, hipper musical guests on his show.

[darkprose]

@unconventionalmeans Hmm, I can appreciate what you are saying, but I can't agree. They are so different in terms of personality -- not to mention the structure of their shows -- that I see little similarity, and certainly not enough to warrant the designation "bogus." I like them both.

[atethnekos]

This is just hilarious. When he kicks over the table.

[Megavolt]

When was this?

[weeweemonsieur]

by how young woody looks, i'd say around the early 70s.

[pepe1615]

Woody mentioned that Play it again sam was about to be made, it came out on 72 so my guess is 1971

[akatub]

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

[justinjm]

wonderful.. hahaha

[xleax]

This is fantastic
