A lot of Dick's interviews are still available on youtube and they are so much better than most talk show interviews nowadays.

Dick Cavett had the best guests in talk-show history

Cavett is tremendous. Surpassed by none. intelligent and a really sensitively balanced interviewer. (And also funny).

[MrChupacabra]

Until this moment I hadn't realized he was still alive.

[geotom]

THIS man interviewed Jimi Hendrix in the flesh !!!

[dangerouslytalented]

His YouTube channel is an amazing treasure chest of the 70s

I'm only 22, but I've been going back and watching the Dick Cavett Show here on Youtube, and I must say, it holds up very well. He truly had one of the great talk shows with excellent guests

[bobbarker]

This guy's such a legend, fantastic interviewer and all around fantastic human being

[surferdude]

Waaaay ahead of his time. I remember the Jim Brown----Lester Maddox confrontation like it was yesterday.

[coldwinter]

My heart is full of joy that Dick is still doing so well at age 83! His show was fabulous! If he hasn't written a book, he should! Ohhhh the stories he could tell!

[ChefMimsy]

I watched Cavett's show when I was in HS and loved how he let the guests be themselves. I very much preferred his shows over all other talk shows. He made the show about his guests, not himself.

[reikiskr]

Dick Cavett is one of my favorite night talk show hosts, underrated and I'm glad not forgotten.

[mattym]

Still watching the Dick Cavett show on YouTube, what a legend.

[andreaandrea]

Carson and Cavett: Different formats. Not comparable. Carson operated more on the surface, more 'joke oriented.' Cavett is a Great conversationalist. People watched Carson for Carson. People watched Cavett because his interviews are substantial.

[evelynhopkins]

He’s amazing! Classy, intelligent, great sense of humor, I’m glad he’s still alive and well!

[denniseudela]

Mr. Cavett is one of the very best, highly intellectual, role model legendary TV host.
He is well known for asking insightful yet interesting & entertaining inquiries to his guests. Most of all, the presence of mind & morality to handle crisis live crisis situations very professionally and so humanly appropriate.

[destinyfet]

Dick Cavett was better than Carson and all others till today..sadly not considered the best with that velvet voice, true culture and best interviews. The best ever.

[PhoenixProdLLC]

Cavett is legendary and I think a way better interviewer than Carson or Snyder. I'm a history buff, and he counts. That Brando interview is epic and the Burton interview real close. Anyway, cheers fellas!

[TheCoco]

His reaction to the cocktail haha.
Always good to hear a Brando story, thanks Stephen !
