DICK CAVETT

The host of “The Dick Cavett Show” — which aired on ABC from 1968 to 1975 and on public television from 1977 to 1982 — Dick Cavett is the author, most recently, of "Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks” published in October 2014.

"During the late 60's and early 70's, The Dick Cavett Show was beloved by critics and hailed as an intelligent alternative to the other more frothy interview shows. In addition to the standard-fare of celebrities, he often booked controversial and opinionated guests like Gore Vidal, Timothy Leary and Georgia's segregationist governor Lester Maddox."

"The art of interviewing a personality particularly for television is probably the most difficult thing to achieve. Few people including the most experienced actually get it right. I think the reason is because being a good interviewer requires one to be first and foremost a good listener."
