    Cavett has to be the best interviewer I've ever seen.

      No doubt! My grandmother Amy always preferred Cavett to Carson because she felt that Carson never really interviewed, he was busy selling. I respect both approaches but watching these Cavett episodes has given me a really great perspective on culture in this important time period.

      When he's spot on he's great. However, when he allows his own ego to overshadow his guests which sadly is often the case it makes you wish he was nothing more than a Marriott commercial spokesperson by trade. A talking head and nothing more.

      Who could?
      Without re-viewing the video (it's been a year!), I can easily imagine that Cavett and Williams would be a bit of a mis-match. Cavett is so calm and intellectual, and Robin so zany. So if I watched it again, I'd probably agree with you. But I still think that Cavett is, most of the time, an excellent interviewer.

    "This is the Yugoslavian Oscar which I won some years back."
    Brilliant improvised joke by Cavett. It would have sounded right in place coming out of Williams' mouth.

    I was fascinated by Robin's fast yet complex humor from his first appearance on on Happy Day's. The guy who I was going out with back then didn't like Robin and said ," He'll be a nobody in 5 year's !"
    I often wonder how he would feel about the onset of real humanoid robot's like Sophia, Ameca and Beomni , after his great humanoid portrayal's in Centennial Man and Robot's.

    Robin’s very on, here. Kinda worries me about how he was doing then. Loved the kids Capote/Buckley bit. And the tour of Dick’s studio, which was just excuses for Robin’s winging it. There’s another video of the two of them where Robin gets deeper and less manic, and discusses his depression, but it’s quite short.

      I preferred Robin Williams interviews when he was 'off'. Even back in the coke days, when it was near impossible for him to sit still and not play at 200 mph, I wanted him to slow down and be himself. Obviously, it was almost impossible for him to do it.
