That's one of the funniest Dick Cavett shows I've seen thus far!

[@robyntattersall236]

I don’t know who is actually uploading these under the umbrella of The Dick Cavett Show but they are all gold and I have always appreciated Dick’s unaffected interviewing style

[@billleyland128]

Jerry Lee, the one true exponent of good old rock n roll, [and country, and ballads, and standards, and, well, just about everything that sounded good. Saw him live, loved him, still do.

[@davidyancey2807]

"Follow that". Greatest line in the movie Great Bals of Fire. Works pretty well IRL too don't it?

[@webnerrisi6199]

Thank for uploading. Jerry Lee Lewis is always an event ❤

[@balkandancer]

One of the greatest early Rock and Rollers. if it wasn't for people like Jerry Lee, Rock and Roll would not have been what it was.

[@somethingyousaid5059]

Those are some Killer slacks that he's wearing.

[@mollycuddle9990]

Great look

[@alexanderhanksx]

Reminds me of the Adam Friedland Show

[@timlombardini3556]

lived a long time, especially considering the partying and such.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

Jerry Lee and David Janssen have the same mannerisms both high as kites.

[@AdamFpatrick]

High as a kite

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Creepy child predator

[@justinrosas6615]

I heard he was hard to deal with, but geez, Kudos to the host lol

[@williamstdog9]

This would have ended up like Billy Bob on “Q” with Gomeshi 😬 but even enemies in the 70’s had a semblance of class left …

[@williamstdog9]

30 seconds in and I can tell they HATE each other and want to kill each other but they’re being recorded so have to act fake professional .. 😮 Wow the hatred is simmering

[@JohnnyHawkins-mt9rc]

I can dig it !

[@marymazzoni2079]

Wow.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

Don't forget Winona...

[@noBearAdventures]

Cavett lived up to his first name in this one

[@michael.trotter]

did u watch the interview?

[@noBearAdventures]

@@michael.trotter no. I just like to comment on things and hope I was right about it

[@Lukeade815]

sooooo high

[@TNbear0126]

If you pretend that existing biopic, with Dennis Quaid, was never made, Matthew McConaughey would probably do a good job portraying Lewis in better-written, acted movie. I think so. He's already got that sly swagger down. Maybe a bit of hair/makeup work to tighten up the look, and turn him loose. Jerry Lee Lewis is just Wooderson who learned to play the piano.

[@beerus101]

Dick is kind of rude here 🤣 asking the guy if he remembers the lyrics of his most famous song, and then asks him to do it twice more.

[@jmc6327]

Can't believe he married his 12 year old neice.

[@tdunph4250]

He's the Killer. What else is there to say??

[@jamesa2482]

This is so awkward and cringe to watch

[@webnerrisi6199]

Terrible band work. The show master hates his guest. But Jerry Lee Lewis kept it going and was making a nice face. Did you hear Me And Bobby Mc Ghee just some minutes before? Every single band member played some kind of wrong. I guess that was on purpose??
