Thanks for including what Duke Ellington explained at the beginning!

The last time I seen someone smoke a cigarette on current tv was Gerard Depardeau. The interviewer Jonathan Ross almost had a melt down😂. Mr Cavett has the lighter ready. How times have changed.😉

Amazing band!!!

[@josephgriffin2388]

The real Duke didn't show up until he sat at that piano. Dick is the best interviewer of his generation hands down.

I'd like to see all of Mary McCarthy's appearance on this episode, and the notorious 1980 episode. Was she in any more than two episodes?

[@orangesurfboard2238]

Make America Great Again? Bring back television chat shows of this calibre.

Honestly pre tv is my comfort watching. Everyone was just so...normal. Even the wackos were normal compared to now.
