Dick Cavett

Remember when he was a panelist on "What's My Line," and he had no idea who the celebrity guest was and what was worse, the celebrity guest had no idea who he was?

So what's the verdict?

Cavett or Clark?

Polls ain’t for kids.

They invented the word "fey" for a reason.

His wife was a drag queen.

Fun Fact: He was very small. He wore lifts and still couldn't reach the handle on the toilet.

Gay Gayerson. Never bought he was straight.

Also the last famous practitioner of a version (subtle) of the Mid-Atlantic accent.

What a pretentious twat.

OP, it would help if you post a link to the actual show he was on.

What you described never happened. The celebrity guest was Gina Lollobrigida. Of course he knew who she was. Maybe not visa versa, as he was new, but nothing in the clip shows that.

R9 are you sure that's not the whore Joan Collins?

Chris Wallace still keeps the tradition alive.

Mrs. Dick Cavett drowned in Jonathan and Jennifer Hart's swimming pool.

His shows had big stars from that era. Dick almost had a "Columbo" type vibe. Like he was just playing dumb. But he always interrupted the guest and seemed to cause dead air & confusion.

He was the American version of me,

The closest thing to OP's claim is in R15's clip, but not with Suzy Knickerbocker, as you might expect. When questioning Ed Sullivan, Dick Cavett joked "the guest is probably wondering who I am".

I always found him very handsome.

That is not true. Unless you know something we don't.

He was in the Carly Simon song "You're So Vain"

by Anonymousreply 23August 29, 2021 3:27 PM

He used to have lots of gays on his shows but only the flamboyant ones, not like Rock Hudson or Gomer Pyle.

R22, what R17 knows is that Carrie Nye appeared in an episode of the "Hart To Hart" TV series and her character died in a swimming pool.
