Tim and John welcome the legendary Dick Cavett to the show this weekend. Many know him as the host of “The Dick Cavett Show”—which aired on ABC from 1968 to 1975 and on public television from 1977 to 1982. He is also the co-author of two books, has appeared on Broadway, and has made guest appearances in movies and TV shows. His new book, published November 2010, is Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets.

Her book explores the stories of sixteen authorial impostors across centuries and cultures. Join the conversation at 866-305-6887.
