The great raconteeur and TV talk pioneer Dick Cavett discusses how he went from studying theater at Yale to hosting a nationally syndicated series on ABC. The Dick Cavett Show (1968-1973) helped move late-night television talk from just being short promo-based interviews with the show biz personalities-du jour, to a format that featured extended conversations with the intellectual giants of the day mixed-in with the usual star suspects. Cavett remembers discussions from his series with guests including: Katherine Hepburn, Richard Burton, Janis Joplin, Sly Stone, Norman Mailer, and Gore Vidal.

Thirteen's March Pledge Drive will preempt Theater Talk for the first 3 weeks of March. We will return to Thirteen beginning March 25th.
Upcoming guests include Harvey Fierstein from La Cage Aux Folles; Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Bobby Lopez, the creators of The Book of Mormon; and Mark Shaiman and Scott Wittman, composer/lyricists of Catch Me If You Can.
