Dick Cavett is the ONLY talk show host who just shuts his mouth and allows his guests to speak. Never prompting, never interrupting, never impatient when an elderly guest has to search for a thought or word. It's so nice!
That's right, too many interviewers don't know the golden rule of interviewing, shut up and let the interviewee talk. And if they give the interviewee space, it makes the host look good, too. I loathe hosts like Letterman who always wants to one-up the guests. The only host today that comes close to Cavett's ability to make different guests comfortable, and who attentively listens to the guest, is Graham Norton.
Yes. I can't stand watching Oprah ir Kelly Clarkson. They both jump after three words are said by their guests! Graham Norton knows how to wait for the gold, and he's inherently polite. Cavett sure was!
Did you catch the first part of this interview with Davis and Wood? No worries! Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/sNqLIi81abk/w-d-xo.html

What a pleasure to listen to these ladies. Such propriety in their conversation and in their anecdotes. Both are beautiful ladies.
So lucky they lived in an age when people had class.
Definitely an era I wanna live in.
@@jacquelineklinges tough time getting decent pay for your work in that age as a woman though
The “class” was pretty much only surface level - abuse, misogyny, and all the nasty stuff just happened off camera.
These three wonderful people are the personification of class. We will never see their like again.😢
no matter what anyone else says, that woman has bette davis' eyes.
Loved Peggy Wood in Sound of Music! 🥹
Oh I had not realized, but yes!!
Her laugh!!! I just love it!!!!!
I love the old chat shows, good conversation, not promoting anything.
"Are they (the network) still in business?" Whoops, Dick really put his foot in his mouth there, didn't he?
Comforting civility.
Blue dress sounds drunk
To be fair, she was in her 80s here. But yeah, mostly incoherent.
Nah I understood her just fine
@@Nosjjddjjd the words are mostly clear, but those exceptionally long-winded anecdotes…even Bette Davis steps in repeatedly guide her.
