The Dick Cavett Show

In my continuing series on THE MOST INSANE THINGS TO EVER AIR ON TV, we have Robert Mitchum being aloof, Groucho Marx being amusing, and Norman Mailer being a boor. Insane, I tells ya! No but rilly you know the deal Salvador Dali dumping an anteater on Lillian Gish, Cassavetes' crew corroding in their cups, and sustained, intelligent, compassionate conversation with interesting guests on an American talk show. Insane, I tells ya.
