Oh, hell yes! This---THIS right here--is further proof of how Dick Cavett was one of the the best talk-show hosts ever, along with Johnny Carson. When you see Don Rickles on other shows, he's only in his manic-mode. But here, Cavett enables Rickles to relax, engage in interesting conversation, and STILL launch some side-splitting zingers (seriously, if you can make Beverly Sills crack-up every 5 minutes, you've definitely got game.) Cavett never tries to dominate the conversation--he just lets it roll, and you can see Rickles appreciates that.

16:42 - 16:50 hahahaha. Was not expecting that. Damn, Rickles was just so sharp. Nowadays, some hack comic would try to make that part extra dirty and obvious, by saying something like "well you suck something else now" or whatever, but Rickles simply saying "Ok Beverly" made it so much funnier :D

It's funny that the guy above calls today's comedy 'filth', while boomers all over this site are saying the exact opposite: that today's comedy is too clean, too PC, too much effort not to be racist/sexist. I don't think they can make up their minds, what strategy to take to malign the new generation. But in reality, people have said the same for thousands of years. Rickles adapted his act from an earlier comic, and today's comics, some of them, are inspired by Rickles. Nothing is different today other than the medium (internet). PC applies if you want to be on prime-time television, but not in the comedy clubs. Comedy today is just as confrontational and risky as ever.

Great job by Rickles and Caveat was a great audience who let him talk. Loved the interaction with Sills.

The way they weave in and out of story and jokes is art.

Back then Carson and Cavett, classy guys who could interview and bring out the best in a guest. Who do we have now? Jimmy Fallon, who is nothing but a fawning sychophant that couldn't ask a tough question if his life depended on it. And a bunch of no names and political hacks who aren't entertaining in the least. Conan O'Brien is pretty good but Craig Ferguson was the last truly great Late Night Talk Show Host, I'm afraid. I hope someone will talk him into coming back. He's wasted on game shows. Of course another part of the problem is that there's no one worth interviewing anymore. Who care what some reality show "celebrity" has to say?

Oh my gosh, this was a great interview. And with Beverly Sills sitting right next to him, damn, what a line-up. There's not an opera singer alive who they'd have on a talk show (or any show) this century; here she was the FIRST guest. She was fantastic. And so was Don. (and so was Cavett) (THEN.

1972 !! I WAS 9 ...........just a simple, wonderful time through my young eyes !

This is the first time I saw don half of the time he sounds so serious & the real him in person I suppose & soft spoken.. half of the time he is "don rickles".

One of his primary assets was his delivery. He says a lot of things that WOULD be taken offense at in any day and age, except for his delivery. Getting people to laugh at insults is a real talent, which hasn't truly been equalled since.

Rickles sure took over the show

"Did the dog live?" "Dick, you're dumb, Dick." Rickles is so fast. May his memory be blessed.

"If we all had no class". To take the Master by surprise.

It's 2022 no matter what year I'm always ready for a very great superb class act guy.

I came to this looking for some Rickles I'd never seen before, and this is really interesting: I always associate him with the Carson TONIGHT Show, but it's fascinating seeing him in a different setting with a different tone, and reigning it in, but only just enough. There was a glorious 3-year period ('69-'72) when Carson was on NBC, Cavett was on ABC, and Merv Griffin was on CBS, all opposite each other, and all great... ...and nobody just came out, plugged their movie/series/play/book/appearance and then left again, everbody came out and stayed. It was like being allowed to eavesdrop at a very hip get-together, with really interesting, disparate minds and talents on the same stage, all interacting. (I might add the early Mike Douglas' daytime show to that list as well: I can recall an episode where, among others, James Brown was having an animated conversation with Alfred Hitchcock.)

Rickles is the greatest comic of all time. No one could ad lib like Mr. Warmth. Now that him and Johnathon Winters has passed we better hold on to Bob Newhart. He is the last of the true comedy legends.
