FrazahhPon - Woody is largely seen as a pariah in Hollywood and New York, largely because his interest in young girls. If you’re still alive…I wonder if you still think Woody is “witty” in light of his horrific mistakes?
They sure don't have interviews on TV like this anymore. Woody and Dick were good friends. Marshall Brickman is in the credits as creative director. He later wrote Annie Hall with Woody.
I wish Cavett was still interviewing. Every time I try watching Charlie Rose, I get so frustrated and aggravated with his impulsive interruptions, and non-stop blathering, and I invariably think of Cavett, and how terrific he was.
His description of how people laugh at him no matter what he does, reminded me of the danish comedian, Dirch Passer. A guy who was so loved by all of his fans that they could never take him serious. For instance, he once played Lenny in a production of Of Mice And Men, a character that is in no way supposed to be funny. The very second he came on stage, the audience laughed. They laughed so hard that he actually broke down on the stage and cried - for 20 minutes.
Woody was amazing his humor is fantastic fresh and still so funny , Dick Cavett is a great stooge to Woody , what fantastic TV and a great unique chat show of its time .
It's interesting to me how real and genuinely conversational this seems compared to talk shows on tv today. When I watch talk shows (rarely) anymore, both the guest and host are always oozing insincere charm and promoting product, like some second rate door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen.
I'm going through a real Woody Allan appreciation phase. How did it take me until my 50's to discover this comic genius? "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" (especially the opening montage) are pretty close to cinematic perfection.
Spike Milligan (the boy from Woy Woy) often made the same comment about not being taken seriously. Spike had a passion for animal welfare. He was doing an interview about animal conservation at Lake Monger (a popular tourist spot) in Perth Western Australia' When some black swans and other water birds drowned out (pun intended) his speech, he turned around to the birds and yelled "Shut up you stupid birds, can't you see I'm trying to conserve you!".
What a refreshing event. An American interviewer that asks a question then shuts the fuck up. Unlike today's desk jockeys, that ask a question and just keep right on talking. And usually talking about themselves.
the joke is that he he said he thought the marijuana had no effect, but the dog started laughing. So Woody is pretending that he is confused, because the marijuana made him think the dog was laughing. I hope that makes sense
Having some understanding of Mia Farrow's nature I don't believe the accusations. She is a self righteous and spiteful woman perfectly capable of programming her children to believe they were abused, and even if the accusations are true the talent remains.
Thank you for including the credits. Noticed one of the Talent Coordinator-Interviewers was Jean Doumanian, who served as producer of "Saturday Night Live" for a while. Interesting to see familiar names in different contexts.
@telejimmy57 agreed. I'd think even today there'd be a large audience for a Dick Cavett show. I'd even buy a tv if they put him back on the air. Check out his blogs in the New York Times Op/Ed blog section online
I had to "secure my sexuality" because that was the point of the whole conversation (didn't you get it?): Woody agrees with legalizing marijuana but he doesn't smoke it, and I made an analogy saying I'm not gay but I agree with gay marriage...
Why would you watch this video if you truly think that. What did you wake up the morning you commented on this and think to yourself, "Hmm... I want to go watch a child molester speak." Thats the creepy thing here. Not Woody.
I'm glad I finally watched this. I think his grandfather's insurance claim about being hit by a falling whale in the middle of New York City is hilarious. I can see where Woody allen gets his views about the essential absurdity of existence.
+Barbie Reynolds I don't think he's a pedophile or a child abuser. The media distorts everything. People like you just jump on the bandwagon when given the opportunity.
What? That makes no sense. She was well past the age of consent. He is clearly not a child molester, and he had no relation to Soon-Yi. Don't say such a strong thing as "child molester," if the comment itself really makes no sense and has no backing. I still don't understand why you would go out of your way to watch this video if you thought he was a child molester in the first place.
Woody is a good artist in his way. How he says what he says is good. Variety of life. Nothing dumb about how he presents his take in the subject. Nothing wrong with you saying dumb even though it seems STUPID.
Even if we go with your sweeping generalisation about drugs, which by the way would also need to be applied to the pharmaceutical and alcohol industry, it doesn't matter. The issue here is a libertarian one, the freedom of self-determination, an inalienable right frequently taken away from people when profitable.
It's very interesting to see that he says that if he attempts to make a serious movie people will laugh at him, which i s sort of true, lol. Some say his early comedies were better, etc, but all his movies can be funny, lol.
I love Woody's comment about death. He said, "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
He also said "I don't believe in the afterlife, but I'm bringing a change of underwear."
Don't worry Woody, you ended up making terrific serious movies.
he can worry even less, he ended up making terrific serious and funny movies both.
@Jack Clare well not really
@Jack Clare I don't think so, just look at Crimes and Misdemeanors for example
His first serious film was the Bergman-style _Interiors_ which he did not appear in.
All rape is fucking real
Woody Allen is just amazing. I cannot get over his wit.

Damn I miss the 70's, folks were just easier going in many respects.
Woody is great here and the whale story is not dumb but also great.
I like the whale joke too.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the interviewer. There aren't many interviewers this good anymore.
I wish Cavett was still interviewing. Every time I try watching Charlie Rose, I get so frustrated and aggravated with his impulsive interruptions, and non-stop blathering, and I invariably think of Cavett, and how terrific he was.
This comment aged well.
His is one of the wonders of the modern age.
Woody is the funniest man alive.
His description of how people laugh at him no matter what he does, reminded me of the danish comedian, Dirch Passer.

Really?
Wow, what a story. Sounds like a Bergman film
Woody was amazing his humor is fantastic fresh and still so funny , Dick Cavett is a great stooge to Woody , what fantastic TV and a great unique chat show of its time .
"Creative Director: Marshall Brickman"...and the rest is history.
Woody Allen is just great! Great guy!
When interviewing was an art
gotta love the dog laughing part of the not getting high on dope gag
now that's an original sentence...
Lol, a historic capture of an awkward handshake fail at the end.
Time stamp?

Love Woody's saddle shoes.
Date? No one ever dates these things. (Well, almost never.) Looks like early 70's
Watching this made me think of all the historical events that happened in 1971.
The dog started laughing.
"Hey careful, my grandfather sold me this watch on his deathbed"
Woody had an all-time great run from the 70s, 80s to about 1994 being his prime years. I still think 1995 and on have still been mostly good movies.
What's so "dumb" about it? It's creative, incongruous, and hilarious.
The dog laughing is the better joke.
Clarinet-based satire can be very challenging
I can't tell if the person who uploaded this likes or doesn't like Woody haha

“Hannah and Her Sisters” cannot possibly be topped in my opinion...by anyone.
Maybe Crimes and Misdemeanors?
Annie Hall??
@@josephine1465 Agreed
Woody Allen should direct Al Pacino in a moviw, with Bob Dylan providing the score
Not a dumb joke--a funny joke! I gather you're not a fan of Woody Allen's humor? Still cracks me up though after all these years.
Wow... I could actually read the credits...
they're both amazing together

Somehow I can't picture Woody stoned. Cavett yeah.
it is true that some people don't get high the first time.but in showbiz, I can't see it being his first toke.
they were friends.
Holy shit, I... relate a lot to this guy.
transformersloverjon you realize he is a child abuser?
Barbie Reynolds Because everyone who'as been alleged of a crime has committed said crime. Yes, we must presume guilt.
Barbie Reynolds God, what has Ken done to you, Barbie?
It was the 20th of October 1971 according to IMDb.
Maybe that's where Douglas Adams got the idea for the missiles turning into a whale and bowl of petunias.
"But Ford, you're turning into a penguin; stop it!"
+DrSamba Oh no, not again.
Yes, that WAS a good joke! : )
Woody... you are the best...
Woody Allen is an absolute genius.

Honesty=Comedy=Honesty=Comedy.

He ended up doing one thing people didn't think was funny. One thing. The rest is pure genius.
Everything that touches him, his life, is totally absurd! Brilliant really, the one who decided about his life must had a great laugh.
This isn't dumb, it's genius...
Creative Director of this eps Marshall Brickman, and Rollins and Joffee. Woody Allen on the show. Coincidence? Nom.
Thank you for leaving the end credits, watching those really brought me back to my childhood.!
Love the falling whale joke.
Having some understanding of Mia Farrow's nature I don't believe the accusations. She is a self righteous and spiteful woman perfectly capable of programming her children to believe they were abused, and even if the accusations are true the talent remains.
Of course it remains. The accusations, though, don’t make any sense at all.
the dog started laughing!

another person who worked on his films. J.Doumanian.
What a classy show with the Jazz and all!
1:11 Woody still looks like Brando; in fact he could pass as his twin brother.
God he’s was brilliant
That’s an OG TH-cam video description If I’ve ever seen one
People were discussing marijuana legalization back then, and it's still not legalized in 2012? Well that saddens me...
Was waiting for the Douglas Adam's joke. It never came. lol
'' la mort je suis contre''.
wooody allen is the best
Allen is wearing the same shirt in the late sixties that own wilson wears in Allen's movie Midnight in Paris.
Woody Allen interviewed by Vision with an American accent on the next episode of Wandavision!
Falling whale... shades of "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy".
It's a damn good one, come on...

So demons are cool as long as they make you laugh. Interesting.
Woody's shoes are killer
Woody Allen: I can't decide if I want to be him, or if i want to marry him....
I'd settle for being as funny as he is!
I don’t think it’s a dumb joke
ok so it was a sort of allucination
Why would you watch this video if you truly think that. What did you wake up the morning you commented on this and think to yourself, "Hmm... I want to go watch a child molester speak." Thats the creepy thing here. Not Woody.
Uh , I dont think Mia would have lied on that. She had nothing to gain. Actually lose because his income declined.
Creative Director: Marshall Brickman
Who would later on collaborate writing screenplays with Allen.
I'm glad I finally watched this. I think his grandfather's insurance claim about being hit by a falling whale in the middle of New York City is hilarious. I can see where Woody allen gets his views about the essential absurdity of existence.
Haha he did 'Crimes and Misdemeanors' He rules

Woody Allen is a funny and weird guy
Barbie Reynolds yeah, but he's funny

'Makes your brain ill'.....wow. That's quite a comprehensive assessment.
Life is what makes your brain ill, not weed.
and weed
so that serious movie turned out to be Annie Hall?
I think I read somewhere that they were friends.
I think The Whale is more of a funny vignette, not a joke. It was the ONE thing he was covered for....Funny!!
Early 70's and everyone has longer hair,
like they were all at Woodstock,
or something.
No stimulents. just don't mention.....
Dick Cavett was the first test tube adult.
babaloo42 hahahaha
The falling whale? Did Hitchikers Guide steal that idea?
hallucination! that's right
you mean millhouse looks like woody allen cause i'm pretty sure millhouse came after woody allen

I'll add Woody Allen to the interminable list of those that have tried to emulate the incomparable Groucho Marx. Woody's whale joke was funny though.
JeffGR4 woody is grouchos biggest fan. Groucho for his part called woody 'the funniest'.
The punchline was talk extremely slow, not fast if he was to do 90 min on 60 Minutes.
Woody is a good artist in his way. How he says what he says is good. Variety of life. Nothing dumb about how he presents his take in the subject. Nothing wrong with you saying dumb even though it seems STUPID.

Even if we go with your sweeping generalisation about drugs, which by the way would also need to be applied to the pharmaceutical and alcohol industry, it doesn't matter.
