Thanks for your feedback @blueguitarblue. I agree - "An Unquiet Mind" is an incredible read.

Dick Cavett's talk show years ago was great. He wasn't goofy, stupid, or arrogant. He was a decent, down to earth guy, he let his guests speak their minds, Dick put them at ease also. Personally, I think he was underrated as a talk show host.

Wish there were more people like him. I didn't know he suffered from depression. Peace to him.

Oh shut up, Dick Cavett! You oversocialized, latte-sipping, Grocho-sniffing phony you.

In the dictionary next to "phony" - YOU!

Back during the OJ Trial, Alan Dershowitz was on Geraldo Rivera's show and Dip-Schwit Dick called in and started correcting Dershowitz's grammar.

Dershowitz to Dip-Schwit: "Get a life, Dick!"

Ok, so here's what we do, Doc. We grab Little Dickie outside Elaine's and de-pants him. Then you dunk his head in the celebrity crapper. Oh you must, you must!

Amazing panel. Dick Cavett is LEGEND! Kay Jameson is genius. Read her books: "An Unquiet Mind" and "Fire Within." Thanks for posting.
