Cavett is the most underappreciated tv icon in American history. I'm surprised he still does these interviews. It's beneath him, but I'm glad he does.

Dick cavett is a legend, he’s interviewed many of this century’s biggest icons.

Cavett is the bomb diggity! Legendary. One of the most intelligent interviewers *ever* in media history, bar none. He teased out some features of people others didn't or couldn't. And how cool is it you're talking boxing? 💃🙆

I completely agree. You knew when you saw him interview someone, he was going to connect with them, and they would get really excellent questions - sometimes tough, but always fair, and that he genuinely wanted to get to know them. He never seemed to have to manufacture interest. If someone was on his show, he was interested in them. His wit was so sharp, too. Clever turns of phrases, self-deprecating humor, etc.

I use to watch the Dick Cavett show when I was in high school. I always liked his relaxed unbiased and respectful approach to questioning his quests... a class act.

It’s a shame the interview wasn’t longer.

Without a doubt, Cavett had more classic moments and conversations with celebrities and intellects than any other "Talk Host." Unmatched. and often brilliant and always interesting. 50-60 years.

delighted to know he's still alive ... a HERO !!!

I got to say, for some times KZread recommended snippets of the Dick Cavett Show for me, so I just knew this man from those old videos. It's the first time I see how he looks like in 2020. It's kind of scary to see how old we get. It's the same feeling when I saw how Robert Plant looks like nowadays, after a long time only watching Led Zeppelin videos from the 70s.

Cavett is the greatest of my generation. Known for his wit and being articulate. Ali was my hero and still is.

I could listen to this for hours!! Im not the only nerd who watched Dick when I was a child.....Kate Hepburn is one of my favs!! Thank goodness for KZread where you can find these incredible interviews...... His show is a treasure trove of History....xo

GOD the Dick Cavett show still to this day is the best talk show in late night in terms of impactful conversations. The man is a national treasure.

I can't love this enough 😍 Some American greatness. Some of our elders are true treasures

Dick Cavett - always informed, entertaining, and professional. Truly a class act - then and now.

Loved the Dick Cavett Show, and loved his columns for the New York Times. I remember his story about meeting Stan Laurel after finding him listed in the phone book. So DC knew Laurel as well as Groucho. Pretty amazing career and life he's had.

Cavett looks amazingly youthful and well for his advanced age...Incredibly well, really.

The great Dick Cavette, one of a kind; gave us so much that is as fresh today as when his show was live. Now in one show three of my favorite guys: Stephen Covert, Dick Cavette and Mohammed Ali. Ahh, paradise!!!

I envy mr. Cavett with meeting such great men like Muhammad Ali. He also met my great hero Groucho Marx. I hope Dick will be among us for a long time.

He’s such a babe even after alllll these years! 🥰

I prefer Colbert! But none have matched the master, Carson! Cavett started as a writer on Carson. The thing I miss about Carson is his guests being we're more diverse. Opera, political writers, novelists, actors, and common people that he never disrespected like Letterman used too. Now shows have 2 actors and some band never heard of past the east or west coasts, most of the time. He has a great band with Jon, but don't showcase them. What would The Tonight show have been without Skitch Henderson or Doc Severson? Leno had Kevin and Letterman had Paul. But all east coast shows only play toward the east coast. Carson was more nation wide to inform and introduce the country to the richness of the Arts. Can you imagine a famous person just doing a "walk on" with any of these talk shows like Carson had?

I met Muhammad Ali, at his estate, round Christmas time. He was so very charming, down to earth, and generous. He was also very handsome, and a total gentleman.

I am a student of desk humour, and while Dave saved my tumultuous adolescence and is in many ways my favorite, I love Dick Cavett above all others. Whwn I was young, tv was still a thing and so old stuff still got celebrated here and there. I grew up with that. I fear the youngest generations are completely detached from where we came from together...and that may be the same fact that severs them from where we were planning on going.

Cavett my favourite all time talk show host 😀

Keep having the greats on man. It's so amazing to watch you interview these people and have them tell their stories about how they came up and the friends they made on the way.

What a fucking gentleman. Makes me think of my maternal grandfather the way he tells stories and downplays how extraordinary the circumstances were.

i discoverd Dick Cavett through KZread these past few years, and watched a lot of his old interviews with Ali, Orsen Wells, and others. Amazing to go from one of those interviews to this one, and see the same man 40 years later. You can tell how appreciative he is of getting interviewed by Colbert here. He probably understood that for many people like me, it was the first time we've seen him since he had his own show, decades ago.

Dick Cavett is a treasure

Cavett/Ali interviews where my favourite

He still has such a listenable voice

I always loved him, he gave the comencement address at my graduation in 1982 at UNL. He is an example of how cool people from Nebraska are! Johnny Carson, Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, list goes on and on!

Dick Cavett was a breath of fresh air. And he still is.

Man, he looks great and still sharp!

never clicked faster in my life, I love Dick Cavett

I used to watch dick cavett back in late 60s and 70s. He always had the most interesting people on his show. I remember Hendrix and Janis. So cool.

I love his interviews, so glad he's still with us to pop up and share some memories form time to time :)

Stephen Colbert is absolutely brilliant...period!

I am so sad that this is the first time I'm ever seeing Mr. Cavett, today. The years I've missed... I would also like to say that this sort of KIND personality seems way too sparse these days; you only find it in older people that have a certain CLASS about them. Dignity! ♥

Falling down a Dick Cavett rabbit hole is one of my favorite things that KZread ever provided.

Dick Cavett....The master of the interview!...Love from the UK

What a pure spirit.

Legend!!🎖

That was such a great documentary - I kept it on my DVR for a long time and watched it several times. The rapport they had was as admirable if not more so than the one Ali had with Howard Cosell.

I absolutely adore Dick Cavett!!😍❤️❤️❤️

You can see his eyes getting watery reliving that moment

I was just watching his interview with Ali. This is a trip 😳

One of the most influential people in my life!

Always enjoy seeing Dick Cavett on TV.

Dick Cavett has to be the king of talk show.

Interesting situation, given Cavett's history of medium- and long-form interviews, and here he is for a mere blurb.

Dick Cavett was incredibly erudite and sophisticated. Even now watching old shows, the incredible interviews he did. He let people talk, elaborate, tell stories. Phenomenally interesting. This interview was wonderful because he was being honored. Only it was too short, too rushed, and it didn't really show Cavett in the best light because of that. He has very different timing than Colbert is the problem. Cavett always talked a bit more slowly, was thoughtful in his communication and would leave space between words. Stephen stepped on his lines too much. I feel sorry for Colbert because his interview format is so so short, and it feels a bit frantic.

Wonderful to see Dick Cavett, last of the gems of talk show history.

I really wish to see much more of Mr. Cavett

This man still has a sharp memory. And he seems to have mellowed out over the years.

Mr. Cavett's show should be required watching for anyone aspiring to host a late night talk show. The man was a maestro of mixing people from disparate backgrounds and ideologies, bringing them together on his show, and making it work to spellbinding effect. Sadly, those traits aren't valued anymore; all people do now is appear tp promote some project of dubious value. Discourse is dead...

Wow i didn't know that he still life. Sir nice to see you at this age, after watched so many videos with Ali on KZread. He was tiny.
