In observance of Thanksgiving, enjoy a Vintage Focus Group that features a true American classic: The legendary Dick Cavett. Host of “The Dick Cavett Show” 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 latest book is, Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets.
