My family were all Johnny Carson people, so we never watched Cavett. He was on too late and he seemed to talk about mostly boring stuff with boring people.

But now, as an adult, I see what I was missing. This man is incredibly smart, insightful, and witty. His interviews were probing while still being entertaining. He brought out serious conversations from his entertainer guests.

I can't imagine a Dick Cavett show being produced now. I don't think anyone gives a shit about what the latest pop icon or movie hero has to say on any subject. They don't really have anything to offer, and they wouldn't be able to tell you anything.

Dick Cavett would NEVER have asked if he could muss up donald trump's hair. He NEVER debased himself like Jimmy Fallon did. I lost all respect for Jimmy Fallon at that point. Fawning Fallon I call him, now.

Both Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett are from Nebraska. Cavett's mother taught school in the town close to where I grew up

If Trump is stupid enough to respond to Cavett, Cavett will carve him up into little bite-sized pieces.
