(PBS Nighttime, 1977 - 1981)
This was the fifth of several talk and variety shows hosted
by the genial witty intellectual comedian from Nebraska, who
was a devoted fan and friend of Groucho Marx in his later
years, and a friend of Woody Allen from his early career;
After a two-year break from series TV, Dick Cavett returned
to host this fondly-remembered show which came to PBS after he
had been involved with variety and talk-variety formats on CBS
and on ABC; it was a return to focus on the more intimate talk-
interview format of a single guest, which was his forte]
