    Dick Cavett with Alec Baldwin: Brief Encounters
    Nov 4, 2014
    Dick Cavett and Alec Baldwin have both acted, written books and hosted talk shows. Cavett’s latest book, Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks, shares his reflections and reminiscences about Hollywood legends, American cultural icons and the absurdities of everyday life. He offers piquant commentary on contemporary politics, the indignities of travel, the nature of comedy writing and the utter improbability of being alive at all. Who better to be in conversation with the legendary Cavett than the one and only Alec Baldwin?

      @@michgingras Perhaps you might consider the timeline related to my comment.
      Truthfully, your response is unnesessary & completely out of context.
      Also, bringing this into the present day, my understanding is that no murdet charges have been made nor is the matter currently officially ruled 'accident' or 'murder'.
      This interview was retrospective & was taped years before Halyna's untimely death.
      Please save your snarkiness for another time. It does not become you

    These types of conversations are important links to the past, thanks to the age we live in, more important than ever. For every person who seems unable to laud the past without curb stomping the present, there is, thankfully, a portal like this one. Dick Cavett, via his shows and his availability in the 21st Century to discuss the 20th, is a treasure. And we should be thankful for the ability to hold the treasure quite literally in our hands.

    Every lunch break I am SO lucky to be able to watch one episode of "What's My Line?" as I'm eating! I somehow knew that Alec, who has often mentioned his love of old GSN reruns, loved this show too! I hope some of you might seek this great fun program out as well! You'll just feel better about humanity for doing so!
    There is a great TH-cam page (simply called "What's My Line?") who has uploaded ALL of them (from 1950 to '67) chronologically. Watching them is SO entertaining, historically interesting, and fun! Not only do you see some of the greatest luminaries of vaudeville, Broadway, sports, politics, the arts, Hollywood, and TV appear, but it's also a surprisingly sobering showcase for the kind of civility and enormous shared pride in American invention that we ALL once shared, across political divides, back in the 1950's / 1960's! It's like a much-needed antidote for Presidential debates!

Alec B is often mentioned in the press as hot headed but I like him....especially in Miami Blues where he plays a Psychopath with humour yet very convincing. Will try and find the Truman Capote episode now...thank you Dick Cavett.

    From the UK and for some reason we never seemed to get the Dick Cavett show over here. This is a sad loss for the ppl in the UK as I believe he is one of the best interviwers in history. The higest accolade I can give him is he is the USA version of Parkinson. Someone who allows his guests to be the star of the show and not the other way round. Also a big fan of Alec Baldwin, warts and all.

    13:35 Dick's confused. He actually combined 3 different parts of the interview:
    1. Dick asked Brando whether he was surprised by how well the Godfather did. Brando tersely said he didn't know.
    2. Brando was talking about how anyone can act, and how Dick's role was also acting, and Dick gave a cute "Really?" and this is where Brando breaks into an enormous smile.
    3. Dick asked Brando whether he was happy with how the Godfather turned out. Here is where Brando said he didn't want to talk about movies and Dick said then what about the book. Brando did not smile at all at the reply.

    Followed Cavetts columns. No, I literally consumed them like I would a juicy steak. Hungry for more. I do know why I attended Berrigans wake. Because I'm Catholic. But also my ex and I once owned a house in Susquehanna County where they supposedly hid out. Since the previous owner was editor of Look Magazine at one time. When I went to NYC, I never considered myself a tourist but an eager wannabe inhabitant of the cultural Mecca.

    My opinion of Timothy Leary was formed largely on the anecdotal evidence of his treatment of the Merry Pranksters when they arrived at his place. He basically ignored them, and allowed only Neal Cassady upstairs. Even from a purely literary standpoint, Leary didn't write a word that compared to Ken Kesey in a favourable way.

    Dick’s shows were interesting and I always watched - but I feel the Joplin & Hendrix shows were dreadful.
    Dick’s question-timing and superficial sycophancy were unnerving. Janis and Jimi weren’t in a space to answer the types of questions he was asking. It’s a wonder they weren’t as snippy as Dylan was to the press in the early days.

    Lying and resisting won't help Baldwin. We will stay focused on the actual facts during his murder investigation. Few are fooled by all the drivel about "prop guns" and an alleged "accident." Who said it was an accident? How do they know? Some say that he didn't try to shoot the cinematographer, but we find no evidence that he actually tried NOT to kill her. We hear much conjecture and obfuscation occurring today, seemingly in an effort to coddle this hostile, hot-headed menace of a so-called "entertainer." Personally, I have to wonder if Baldwin's overlords might have given him bonus points for making the sacrifice inside of a church.
    Baldwin had the firearm in his possession. He aimed that weapon at the cinematographer and pulled the trigger. He is a murderer. He may or may not have known that his gun was loaded. Perhaps he knew, or maybe he was simply oblivious and negligent. Either way, he is responsible and is a murderer. If he were a toddler, he might be excused while the responsibility was shifted onto others. He is not a toddler. He is a murderer.
    The Marxist-leaning criminals appear to be working for US today. Could these clowns act more absurdly than how they behave currently? Can it be that even the hardest-core leftists are helping the most committedly blind and deaf amongst us to begin to see and hear? Are even the most devout Statists beginning to support the principles of Patriotism: service to God and Humanity? Are these actors helping turn around those who used to love their celebrity-worship, so they might perceive the absurdity of following after their "experts," entertainers, gurus, religious and government "leaders" and such riff-raff? Are we beginning to witness the reversal of the curse of Exodus 20:19 and John 10:11-13? One can only hope that We the People are beginning to cultivate a relationship with our Creator, and maybe these clown actors are helping this process along.
