Comedian Dick Cavett shares the honor with the late Johnny Carson of being the only talk program host to be seen on a regular basis on United States TV over five consecutive decades. The 71-year-old also made a wise investment back in 1973 on Long Island of 76.8 acres — including 1,000 feet of oceanfront and towering 60-foot-high bluffs — for $540,000.

On this date in 1941, Linda Louise Eastman, the future wife of Paul McCartney, was born to Lee and Louise Eastman in Scarsdale, New York. On this date in 1942, Gerry Marsden of Gerry & the Pacemakers wass born in Liverpool, England. On this date in 1963, the Beatles launched their first-ever tour outside Great Britain - a six-date swing through Sweden.

John Cleese appears on The Dick Cavett Show to promote Life of Brian as well as discuss Python in general. Excellent interview. Some of the things, like the origin of the "Flying Circus" name, I'm sure you've heard before--but it's still worth hearing and Cavett's pretty damn funny, too.

That effete sophisticate Dick Cavett finds Our Lady of Wasilla reminsd him of someone: Performance is the mot juste for what she did at the convention. And I admit that even my own jaded and cynical showbiz heart leapt up as she wowed the adoring crowd with a show-stopper display of charm and personality.

I hadn’t heard anything about the talk-show legend for quite some time, but THIS LITTLE RIFF on presidential politics showed me that he hasn’t lost any of his wit and style.

Today's classic TV post takes us back to the halcyon days of 1970, when a dude high on hallucinogenics could simply meander out of Dick Cavett's audience to shake Mickey Mantle's hand in the middle of an interview. Also appearing as guests with the Commerce Comet: the Chairman of the Board Whitey Ford and the world's shortest folk rocker Paul Simon.

On this date in 1963, the Beatles were interviewed by Donald Zec at his London home located at 28 Maitland Court. The article was published two days later in the Daily Mirror. On this date in 1967, the Beatles recorded the song, “Aerial Tour Instrumental” - actually the working title of the song, “Flying“.

This is HILARIOUS!  Sly is so coked out of his mind.  The man’s a freakin’ genius, but he’s nothing more than high in this clip from the Dick Cavett show in 1970.  HILARIOUS!   Other funny stuff having nothing to do with Sly: I’m the Juggernaut BITCH! Ninjas are totally awesome!! LOL!!

I usually only write about women on this blog, which I think you'll agree makes perfect sense. But, upon reading Beyond Blue over at Beliefnet, I came across links to two recent articles by Dick Cavett on depression. Mr.
