Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Legendary TV Talk Show Host, Dick Cavett

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s special guest, Dick Cavett, is not only a legendary television personality, talk show host and author. He is the reason I wanted to be an interviewer – he’s my inspiration, my role model and my American Idol.  

From 1968 to 2007, on a variety of TV networks and in different formats, our guest hosted one of the world’s most popular TV talk shows. With his keen intellect and unique wit, he set the bar for intelligent, sophisticated conversation with the world’s greatest legendary stars. He was known as “the thinking man’s talk show host”, and his show offered a forum for controversial opinions and issues ranging from feminism, domestic and international affairs, to the Vietnam war. 

The Dick Cavett Show became a home away from home for the top stars from the world of movies, television and sports. And of course, through him, we got to know the greatest comedy legends of all time.  

Our guest has written a number of bestselling books, starting in 1974 with “Cavett”, followed by “Eye on Cavett” in 1983. And then he released “Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets”, which is a fascinating collection of essays written by our guest for the New York Times when he had a popular online column. And most recently, he released “Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks”, in which he introduces us to the fascinating and iconic characters who have crossed his path over the years – everyone from Stan Laurel and Elizabeth Taylor to Muhammed Ali and James Gandolfini.  

Over the years our guest has had many extraordinary moments. He's hosted Saturday Night Live. He’s made cameo appearances in “Cheers”, “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3”, “Beetlejuice”, “Forrest Gump” and “Apollo 13”. He’s done voiceover work on “The Simpsons”. On Broadway, he appeared in “Otherwise Engaged”, and he was the narrator in “Into the Woods” and in the Broadway revival of “The Rocky Horror Show”. And every fan of the legendary pop group ABBA knows about his highly memorable interview with the entire group for his 1981 TV special, “Dick Cavett Meets ABBA.”  

Throughout his illustrious career our guest has earned 9 Emmy Award nominations and won 2 Emmy Awards, along with a Cable Ace Award. He was also nominated for 6 Photoplay Awards for Favourite Variety Star, and in 2016 he won the Spirit of Katharine Hepburn Award.
