Turns out that Dick Cavett -who is still alive, surprisingly enough- really doesn't like Sarah Palin, because she doesn't talk like Dick Cavett, apparently. Also because she has the effrontery not to be a liberal. Combine the two, and obviously she's stupid. That Cavett comes across in the piece as a supercilious prig goes without saying. And it's intriguing that...

Monday: The Dick Cavett Show with Woody Allen The first thing you'll notice is how young they are; when the show originally aired on October 21st, 1971, Woody Allen was a fit-looking 36-year-old and Dick Cavett was all blonde sideburns and bronzed skin at 35. But beyond the initial shock of their youth is something more stunning and important: the death of the interview....

I'd never heard this clip, but apparently from a Dick Cavett show: Jimi Hendrix playing Little Drummer Boy. Seques into Auld Lang Syne (really). (A music track w/somewhat cheesy slideshow laid over it.) Possibly a fake, but inspired nonetheless....

Once, Miller was asked by interviewer Dick Cavett if he jogged. “No,” said Miller emphatically. “You don’t'” replied Cavett, surprised. “I’ve heard that jogging adds two years to your life.” “That’s true,” shot back Miller. “But you spend them jogging.” * I was in a nasty car accident a few years back. A pretty girl...

Dick Cavett deals with Camille Paglia's attack on his attack on Sarah Palin . Camille said: ... Cavett's piece on Sarah Palin was insufferably supercilious. With dripping disdain, he sniffed at her "frayed syntax, bungled grammar and run-on sentences." He called her "the serial syntax-killer from Wasilla High," "one who seems to have no first language."... How can it be that so...

Dick Cavett on Blagojevich: “We all know from childhood that it’s not nice to make fun of people’s appearance. So I will confine myself to merely observing that whatever covers the governor’s head looks to me like a bowling-ball cozy.” Bush went on a “surprise” visit to Iraq and Afghanistan. The White House made a big deal about how Iraq is finally safe enough that Air Force One could...

Dick Cavett, like most sentient, hearing-enabled human beings with at least a passing familiarity with English any spoken language in the history of the known universe, hears Sarah Palin and wonders what sonic virus is breaking down his brain tissue with such a grating relentlessness. Camille Paglia, on the other hand, hears…starbursts. Starbursts and jazz: So she doesn’t speak [...]
