  • I wish there are more shows like Dick Cavett's program around. I may be of the younger generation but this is some good stuff.I doubt any of the copycat shows will be as good as this show was though.

  • Amazing what USED to be on television. Raw. Real.

  • The last comment from Cavette was priceless. I watched this when it was aired and never forgot it. 

  • wish network TV was this bold today. . .

  • and PS Mailer actually included a transcript of this show in one of his collections. He admits he was drunk that night. But hey, this is a guy who learned early on the value of a scandalous reputation for his literary career. And it seems to have worked -- I guess there really is no such thing as bad publicity...

  • @spaceoreo I guess I was thinking of Flannery O'Connor...

  • @ivelosthewilltolive I think it's Janet Flanner, not Flannery.

  • LMAO! Love it!!

  • @nelsano3 Charles Bukowski used to say there's a lot of writers, but then there's people who can write.

    I've always thought that someone that can drag you into the story in spite of their shortcoming stylistically is a far superior writer than the Norman Mailer's of the world.

  • @Blacksun1942 And almost bit of Rip Torns ear, don't forget that.
