I stayed up late to watch that show back in 1968 because I had just seen a Dali painting for the first time about two weeks before (shown by my Junior High School art teacher) and was blown away by it. I still remember his point about how the word "papillon" sounds like the flying insect it refers to while the word "butterfly" does not. I determined that night that I was going to grow up to be an eccentric creative genius who gains fame and fortune on the basis of my artistic mastery. It hasn't worked out.
I remember this show when it aired back in the 60's. I also remember him doing an interview in the same period, he had his moustache curled up around his eyes like a pair of eyeglasses, when asked about it he said "I want to see the world through my moustache ". He was an amazing man and equally amazing artist. Though a bit eccentric.
I'd love to see the whole interview with, or rather incomprehensible monologue of Salvador Dali. The amazing Lillian Gish always graceful, even when she had an anteater thrown at her.
not so incompréhensible, he's saying that he works straight from his imagination, instinct. After, the scentists analyze it for an audience etc etc, but that it comes straight from his unmessed with imagination and instinct as he creates..
That anteater looks like it's had quite a bit of (likely unwanted) practice of being tossed to the floor like that, lmao. The composure it had when it hit the ground had me gutting myself.
I saw the entire show. Dick was increasingly frustrated by not being able to understand Dali. He asked him politely to slow down but that didn't help. All of Dali' s comments were met with incomprehension. Dick asked if he was mixing languages but Dali didn't know what he meant. It was a terrible interview. Halfway Dick did that finger in his ears thing , which was very rude. You could tell how insulted Dali was. As soon as the show was over, Dali got up and walked off even tho the other two guests stayed on stage to talk with Dick. I realize Dali was eccentric but he was a guest and treated badly because of the way he talked. I don't think Dick tried hard enough to understand. He turned Dali into a caricature. That's just sad.
I tried very hard to understand what he said in the video but I literally had no idea, and I have the ability to listen to it multiple times over and over again and I still don't understand. Dick only got one try. I don't blame him at all
Despite Dalí eccentricities and playful nature, the man had a hidden wit and intelligence that could leave you pondering for weeks. The true "clown" here is Dick. Even the anteater is more intelligent than him. As a host, he should have known better than anyone the antics of this world renowned eccentric artist. Had Dick had wit, he could have made the interview into something special and entertaining. He just couldn't handle the complex character of Dalí even if he had spoken perfect english.
It was all part of Dali's genius….he knows he's going to get made fun of and was not immune to that. He also knew that the DC show was paying him a lot of money to be there, and that his exposure, especially while he was well into his 70s or so, would bring him more attention and $$$! Many artists and entertainers get passed up by his age, so it was a good move for him to get noticed again.
Okay, people, let's just take a moment to think how the world worked back then, when Dalí was alive. He sure was rough with the anteater, but it wasn't physically harmed. Probably more confused and scared, because of the audience etc. Back then animals were animals and people were taught that way. People didn't think the animals had feelings, memory etc. like us. They didn't know. And anteaters and all other animals experience much worse fates and stuff in the wild among the predators, rough land (not soft fluffy carpet like here) and diseases. He was maybe rough with animal, but he didn't harm to the extent of withdrawing the animals from his possession. Animals aren't glass, they can handle things as long as they're not beaten or tossed around with force on hard surfaces. I don't like his handling of anteater either, but I can't blame him for not knowing about these things. After all, the animals weren't in his possession for long periods of time, if I recall right. He just found and used them in public to give shock entrance. In his book "Diary of a genius" he had a cat in Spain, which he apparently treated very well. Atleast, in his own words, cat purred and slept next to him in his bed.
You know, if I'm ever present when Salvador Dali throws an anteater at Lillian Gish I hope my response is as good as this, but I suppose it's not likely to happen now...I wonder if it would work with Banksy and Beyoncé...and a brick.
I just posted almost the same thing! Cavett was a true stupid and idiotic man, how on earth can you treat a genius like that? And the audience laughed!! Seriously, ignorance is frightfully everywhere. Dali and his artwork will always be up there with the masters.
Me llama la atención que en general los gringos son muy fodongos, pero el trajezaso que porta Dalí es abrumador elegantisimo. I don't think the reporter understand the intelectual way of talk of Dalí because he is illiterate.... grettings from México
I saw the entire interview and you know what? Buji buji indeed! What a wonderfully spontaneous moment! As much as I respect Dali as an artist, his antics were often obnoxious. Dick Cavett just matched Dali's surrealism with a bit of his own.
FrankCostanzasLawyr you're comparing Dick Cavett with Dali? Nobody can act like Dali, his genius must be respected not mocked! What if Dali was eccentric? His artworks were and will always be masterpieces. Cavett was an idiot nothing more.
I'm sure that Dali and Lillian worked this out backstage about the anteater.Cavett was an idiot here I think to the greatest artist of the 20th century.
Uh is it just me or did he seem kinda rude to the black guy, kinda reluctantly shaking his hand and suddenly ignoring the handshake to wave his gold tipped stick around and show off?
@@clownpocket im speaking about Dali cause he was the one I felt was showing questionable behavior. I didnt make this about race, you did. I'm apolitical but I don't have to guess with you you're trying to say something rude on the internet to try and look smart and feel special you're an IDIOT Your whole message was like "Hey look at me I'm so smart I'm being rude online! Won't someone please pay attention to me and think I'm cool! wah wah wah!" Grow up you big baby!
The man obviously loved attention you don't bring an ant eater on a talk show otherwise if I was dick I would've asked Dali if he could draw me a painting what the hell.
Big ego much? If he'd thrown the anteater at me like that I would have thrown the animal right back to him. Some of his paintings are great, but the man is too much of an attention seeker, therefore not a true genius at all.
Oh you dusty little ignorant. Ofc he was an genius. There's none type of art he didn't work in. None. His paintings are most famous paintings, everybody knows them. He moved the art forward. Like. Ofc. He had a big ego. You need to have big ego to be an genius. He was an artist. Attention seeking was his job.
It's not everyday that somebody tosses an anteater into your lap.
Rayoscope youre a lucky girl
Speak for yourself.
Oh I dunno.

Have you tried a moustache?

A "bit" eccentric? I think you got it backwards... eccentricity is a bit Dali.
The way Dali yeeted the ant eater 😂😂

I know what u mean however they probably had a talk about it backstage before they came on.

Dali dabbled in Anteater flinging.
He used to walk his pet anteater through the streets of Paris.
Dalí was the greatest comedian bar none and he wasn't even actually a comedian
Yes he was and in one of his interviews he stated that he wanted to be a comic
🤣🤣🤣👌🏾
best talk show entrance ever !

What a way to get onstage and throw an ant eater on other guests. DALI was rude !!
I tried very hard to understand what he said in the video but I literally had no idea, and I have the ability to listen to it multiple times over and over again and I still don't understand. Dick only got one try. I don't blame him at all
kberken; first time of heard about this.I'm glad Dali walked off.
Dick always lives up to his first name. Terrible interviewer, and a one-dimensional person.

Dali once said that he had 2 goals in life:
1. To be outrageous
2. To make a lot of money
He did both.
Him tossing the anteater is how his mind words for his next art piece
Dali is my inspiration and the divine comedy the best parody of all times.
Why would Cavett make fun of Dali? Such disrespect for a genius, you can tell Dali got a bit upset.
It was all part of Dali's genius….he knows he's going to get made fun of and was not immune to that.

I don´t understand that Millie007
I thought the exact same thing. when he did the boogie boogie thing it was so cringe. what an imbecile.
La cara del presentador es un poema
Es la misma cara que he puesto yo al ver a Dalí entrar con ese animalillo!
after a lot of researching this is the first time I see salvador smile! :)))))
I would love to see the rest! Please have a season of Dali and the Anteater! :D
When he threw the anteater to the woman... man, I just can't, this is too much what a fuckin troll :')
I feel sorry for that ant eater
Salvador Dali: incomprehensible gibberish
Jerk Cavett: “Oojie boojie!” with finger waggles
*chef’s kiss

You are right. But people did know that animals had feelings those times.
Dali is so funny!! I like how he caries that animals and sits him lol!!!!
Your custom character during cut scene:
Salvador Dali is a hero to all artists
Menos mal que no se le ocurrió entrar con un caimán D:
Roy que buena loco
Hahahah eso es demaciado ocurrente, un jodio Caiman, que joda.
ahahhhahaahha
Dali created a shock entrance ... throwing the animal as a attack beast . Like a cat. He released the interviewer free expression uhuuu
You know, if I'm ever present when Salvador Dali throws an anteater at Lillian Gish I hope my response is as good as this, but I suppose it's not likely to happen now...I wonder if it would work with Banksy and Beyoncé...and a brick.
Nice post but I don't think you'll outdo Cavett on this one!
I think what Dick did was so disrespecful
you can tell from Dali's face, everyone starts to clap and he's wondering "wtf am I doing here?"
yeah, its true, he doesn´t know where he is
I just posted almost the same thing! Cavett was a true stupid and idiotic man, how on earth can you treat a genius like that? And the audience laughed!! Seriously, ignorance is frightfully everywhere. Dali and his artwork will always be up there with the masters.
@@007Julie bruh it was just a joke lmao. No one is downplaying Dali's Genius. Dick was just playing along with his eccentric character.
I guess he was disappointed that she wasn’t scared when he threw the anteater on her lap! 🤣🤣🤣
parfait, mais parfait! et la réponse de Cavett est, en fait, parfait...!
Salvador es más grande que una enciclopedia de la que esperas el último libro.
Toda la razón del mundo, amigo
This could be cavett's best moment ever.
After seeing how he treated his pet ant-eater, I must say, the amount of respect I had for him dwindled much too quickly.
yeah bcause ure a dumb snowflake. the anteanter didnt get hurt a single %

Damn, throws the animal on the floor like a sack of potatoes.
But where's the rest of this? There's more..
ua-cam.com/video/GO_8m74T50E/v-deo.html here
This is me talking to American people, some even regard the word "boogi" as an academic term
Dick Cavett is exactly that.
Yes he is
Im working in this for my College study
Cannot find out how a planet that produced or sustained a man like Dali also got to have Justin Bieber let's say.
We’ve jumped the shark.
Salvador Dalí , Picasso, Julio Iglesias and Rafael Nadal are the best spaniards of this last era.
Could someone write what Dali's saying, please? I can't comprehend it and I really need it asap for my thesis work.
Hope you did good on your tesis
Salvador Dalí, el primer troleador de la historia....contigo empezó todo.
You mock DALI! But Dali has the laugh to mock YOU!
i just want to do that? i don't know why?
a fucking idiot.. just that

I'm sure that Dali and Lillian worked this out backstage about the anteater.Cavett was an idiot here I think to the greatest artist of the 20th century.
I can name at least ten greater artists in the twentieth century, starting with Picasso
LOL! flung anteater
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who are the other two guest?
Who made split personality popular and lucid dreaming has what in common with testosterone reuptake..
Uh is it just me or did he seem kinda rude to the black guy, kinda reluctantly shaking his hand and suddenly ignoring the handshake to wave his gold tipped stick around and show off?
I thought that too and I wouldn't be surprised at all. He supported Franco apparently.
The black man is Satchel Paige.
He appears to be more interested in staring at his hands when Dali walked on.
@@clownpocket I think that's nerves on Satchels part. I really do get the odd feeling that Dali treated him "below" the other guests.
Nico Starling
Making excuses for Paige and not Dali.
Let me guess, you’re a liberal?
@@clownpocket im speaking about Dali cause he was the one I felt was showing questionable behavior.
I didnt make this about race, you did.
I'm apolitical but I don't have to guess with you
you're trying to say something rude on the internet to try and look smart and feel special
you're an IDIOT
Your whole message was like "Hey look at me I'm so smart I'm being rude online! Won't someone please pay attention to me and think I'm cool! wah wah wah!"
Grow up you big baby!
Mr Cavett that isn't the way you treat geniuses like Dali and I don't think your funny either.
omghahaha
The man obviously loved attention you don't bring an ant eater on a talk show otherwise if I was dick I would've asked Dali if he could draw me a painting what the hell.
Belive me or not, but Dali was an artist, not a painter.
Dali was an eccentric genius,and I'm sure Cavett and Vivian knew what to expect!

The most terrible english I've ever heard
and you´re latin jajjajajaja
When you paint and create masterpieces like Dali's you can make fun of his English.
People complaining about Dali with his anteater are insane and need a reality check.
DALI ES FARSA
DALI IS FAKE
Dali was an overrated person!
says you
abuse
Big ego much? If he'd thrown the anteater at me like that I would have thrown the animal right back to him. Some of his paintings are great, but the man is too much of an attention seeker, therefore not a true genius at all.
