It would've been nice if Dick C had taken a commercial break to see if Lily Tomlin was OK. They essentially just ignored her and continued with the interview.
He was pretty brave (or brazen) to make a dig at Lily's unknown (at the time) lesbianism saying his wife is the type of woman who doesn't want to be owned by another woman.
She was out in the 70s. She’s been with her now wife, Jane, since 1971. This intevrriew is 1972. I don’t think she was publicly out until a few years after this. But I would assume he and others in the industry probably knew that about her and that’s why he did that dig. Men like him don’t like women like her. I grew up around a lot of men like him (fundamental baptist- think Duggar family type) and any woman that presented in any masculine way, was deemed useless. So a woman wearing pants, not being girly, not complying or being submissive, etc. kinda an inside thing to assume they aren’t straight or that they need some “conversion”
At that time he was like Dick Van Dyke, a serious functioning alcoholic, he stopped completely in later years, so, some really stupid remarks there, but he regularly wrote poetry for his wife and they renewed their marriage vows several times.
You said it! The best host of all time. I just made a birthday IG post for him. I have his biography. What a guy. And still with us! Plus acting roles in things like Murphy Brown and Beetlejuice! Love Cavett immensely. Such important programming.
I don't know as this is the 1st clip I've seen. Was it always this bad? We didn't get this show in England, probably most of us still didn't have a telly.
He was being a jerk. Snide sexism and homophobia. But, it was par for the course at this point in history. He read the poem to make himself seem ok. I have read he was an alcoholic so perhaps that brought out the worst in him.
Nah man, no one needs to put up with such a stupid comment, women are so often the butt of awful jokes by men and I think her walking out sent a clear message that that was not ok. If she didn't, it would've been swept under the rug
How do you know that he wasn´t serious? Many men are serious about owning their wife. And it´s funny how you as a man think that she walked off a bit easily. When the reality is that she walked off because of a misogynistic comment that is offensive and violent to half of the people in the world, while men keeps being offended and hysterical about not getting their way and that they have to accept that women are humans too with equal rights.
By just standing up and saying "I'm leaving", she gave a huge messsage; Even Dick got surprised: If she wouldn't have done that, he would've made the non-human guest feel important
"Gee that was a disturbing thing to do. I'm sorry SHE did that." Amazing to see how men have truly perfected the art of gaslighting through the ages 🤌✨️
He seems a weird guy altogether. Quite possibly his wife was just as weird, though. (I used to have a high school gym teacher with a haircut and build like that. He was convinced that all the underage girls were panting over him and said so openly, which always seemed pretty creepy, as well as deluded, to me. Nothing to do with this “Chad”, I suppose, but I can’t help the association.)
@@mikeelek9713 Sweetie, I know who Chad was, he's a forgotten ham has been who had very little talent at the time. I think he thought he could coast on his looks, as talent was scant.
"...She has no aspirations to be taken care of by a woman" wtf, who cares? 😂💀🤡 Chad was triggered 🌈 and uber triggered that someone like Lily (& the appluading audience) didn't dig his little corny joke 😂 so triggered he had to pull out a poem 😂😂😭man, this show was great
If he didn’t like his voice at least reasonably well, he would have made a pretty poor talk-show host. In fact, I can’t think of a better talk-show host. He was witty, literate, informed, gracious, diplomatic, and always entertaining.
Whether or not what Chad said was right or wrong, Lily walking out right after was pure virtue signaling. There was no reason for that other than to show everyone how she "felt" about that statement. Happens all the time these days. It only served to disrupt the show and make her look foolish.
Lily Tomlin isn’t a good comedian? There are some targets that aren’t worth deigning to satirize, and this is obviously one. There was no good reason for Lily Tomlin to waste her time suffering through the end of this boorish interview. (The “poem” was excruciatingly awful, by the way.)
What we're observing here is the rare thin-skinned comedian who can't recognize a joke. Comedians are among the best ad-libbers on the planet. Walking off in a huff is the best Lily could come up with?!?! I'm more saddened by that than anything Chad Everett said.
I don’t see a joke here either. Lily Tomlin is a brilliant comedian. As far as I can make out, this non-Chad person is not any sort of a comedian at all. Who is likely to be the better judge of comedy?
No he wasn’t. He only said “they owned each other” after he realised it was a sucky thing to say. And he tried to out her twice in an era where it was a career killer
you grow up. I watched til the end. If you like that, watch what I do to your kids to hurt them then say what he said on that show. Hope you learned something.
No he acted like a misogynistic clown who couldn’t even stand up with his comment of owning his animal (wife) and backed it down and said “oh we both own each other” but again, he referred to her as an animal he owned. Anyone who stands by that is a clown
@@westbatman66 um no. There is no legally owning anyone. A person does not own their spouse, not in the eyes of the law or any moral point. You just can bring yourself to admit what he said was sexist. So you make yourself look foolish, saying “well in the eyes of the law…”
So woke means self respect and self awareness? Woke means having a spine and not taking disrespect? Woke means walking away from stupid a**holes? We should all WAKE UP AND GET WOKE. chads don't deserve our respect or time.

"The best animal I own"!! And then he reads bad poetry. And then he doesn't get why she would be offended?
Cringe
Surprised his shoulders can hold his head upright.
It would've been nice if Dick C had taken a commercial break to see if Lily Tomlin was OK. They essentially just ignored her and continued with the interview.
Chad Everett has to be the most Chad name of all time
😂
Well, besides Chad York, of course.
He was pretty brave (or brazen) to make a dig at Lily's unknown (at the time) lesbianism saying his wife is the type of woman who doesn't want to be owned by another woman.
And the underwear he gave her with straps for her “friend”
@@westbatman66 and who has she offended? Please provide a list?
He’s a jerk!

Or maybe should phrase that as, functioning serious alcoholic.
I was surprised by that poem…
No, he was nothing like Dick Van Dyke. DVD was talented.
If the shoe fits.... I didnt know shes into women
Thank you Lily you have been a strong leader all these years!
Never heard of him, but what a classy lady.
is no one talking at her being ahead of time with that sturdy
She felt like hanging Chad.
Ah, someone does remember. Thanks.
That Chad was a drunk.
What’s that thing around his neck?
That’s what I was wondering!😄
Called a "choker " - very fashionable for the day
It's a neckerchief!
nut rag
@@stevecovey1758only women wore chokers. Very popular circa 1971
Chad is obviously under the influence of something. What a self-important jerk.
But not tinkerbell
Dick Cavett show was a class act
You said it! The best host of all time. I just made a birthday IG post for him. I have his biography. What a guy. And still with us! Plus acting roles in things like Murphy Brown and Beetlejuice! Love Cavett immensely. Such important programming.

Alcoholism is not an excuse. And I´m sure he was an asshole with or without it.
Maybe she walked off a bit easily (he's not serious about owning his wife) but him apologizing for her was cringy and pathetic.
Nah man, no one needs to put up with such a stupid comment, women are so often the butt of awful jokes by men and I think her walking out sent a clear message that that was not ok. If she didn't, it would've been swept under the rug

He must be the origin story of the Chad as we know it. Lol.
I was wondering that myself. I mean, this might actually be the case.
😂😂 you might be right
Chad Everett is very interesting.
Lily: "I do it for free." A thought that never occurred to Chad Everett.
Lilly looks amazing here
By just standing up and saying "I'm leaving", she gave a huge messsage; Even Dick got surprised: If she wouldn't have done that, he would've made the non-human guest feel important
"Gee that was a disturbing thing to do. I'm sorry SHE did that."

Interesting. It was definitely different times back then but it was still a weird thing to say. As long as he treated his wife well I guess.
He seems a weird guy altogether. Quite possibly his wife was just as weird, though. (I used to have a high school gym teacher with a haircut and build like that.

All the signs of cocaine issues. He could have gone on vacation with the bags under his eyes
Lily Tomlin: icon.
Chad who?
If you were around the the early to mid-1970s, Chad Everett was a big name in television. And so were countless others. Fame is fleeting.
@@mikeelek9713 Sweetie, I know who Chad was, he's a forgotten ham has been who had very little talent at the time.

wtf, who cares? 😂💀🤡 Chad was triggered 🌈 and uber triggered that someone like Lily (& the appluading audience) didn't dig his little corny joke 😂 so triggered he had to pull out a poem 😂😂😭man, this show was great
Maybe Lily Tomlin did the kind thing in walking out rather than vomiting on or punching Chad…whoever in his stupid face.
Those are the only options? She can't just be an adult and ignore a joke she doesn't like? I do it all the time.
@@Xavier_Coogat_the_Mambo_King You do? That’s odd considering that you have no idea what a joke is.
Chad was being a Chad. Gross. Creepy mustache on top of the jerk behavior
You're foolish. Listen to his poem to his wife.😊
@@christopherbako You're foolish, listen to my fist.
Lily rocks. well done 😊
Lol, hardly.
Completely agree.
Listen to her. She's full of herself.
She wanted more attention.
HARDLEY. OVERLY SENSITIVE OVER-RATED HACK COMEDIAN. Hope she realized that Chad truly loved his wife and the animal kingdom.
@@20alphabet she's incredible :) one of the greats!
Do you get paid (scale, I know) when you walk off the show?
Pay is nominal anyway. You submit because your agent, publicist, publisher, record company, or film studio demands it of you.
Yes
he looks and sounds high...😮
He’s a lowbrow Oliver Reed 😂
omg lol
What a Chad
Coked up Chad
I remember Chad. He reminds me of a young Russell Crowe here.
This guy Cavett loved the sound of his own voice.
Indeed!
We all loved the sound of his voice. Silly human.
If he didn’t like his voice at least reasonably well, he would have made a pretty poor talk-show host. In fact, I can’t think of a better talk-show host. He was witty, literate, informed, gracious, diplomatic, and always entertaining.
This guy must've been close friends with Ron Burgundy and his news crew 🤣. ...To all the people blowing their gaskets: 🤣🤣🤣
was his character a functioning alky?
I think this is the inspo for Ron Burgundy.
Whether or not what Chad said was right or wrong, Lily walking out right after was pure virtue signaling. There was no reason for that other than to show everyone how she "felt" about that statement. Happens all the time these days. It only served to disrupt the show and make her look foolish.
virtue signaling = you watch faux “news”
Looks like he embarrassed himself by signaling his Chadness.
@@justis00 Maybe but at least he didn’t resort to theatrics
I never realized that he is such a jerk. Sad.
Any good comedian would have come up with something witty and funny. I guess Lily prefers drama over comedy.
Lily Tomlin isn’t a good comedian? There are some targets that aren’t worth deigning to satirize, and this is obviously one. There was no good reason for Lily Tomlin to waste her time suffering through the end of this boorish interview. (The “poem” was excruciatingly awful, by the way.)

It wasn’t worth her time.
Abit of tongue in cheek and she walks off. 😂
A bad pairing. The producers wanted fireworks but Lily made sure they were duds.
Grow up Lily. He's playing. Watch till the end.
Exactly.
No he wasn’t. He only said “they owned each other” after he realised it was a sucky thing to say. And he tried to out her twice in an era where it was a career killer
It’s a childish and misogynistic “joke”. You don’t get to excuse bad behavior by simply saying it’s all in good fun.
Playing doesn’t mean you have to take it. She didn’t think it was funny and respected her boundaries.
you grow up. I watched til the end. If you like that, watch what I do to your kids to hurt them then say what he said on that show. Hope you learned something.
is anyone really nostalgic for this?
Poor sensitive Lily. Poor baby. She acted like a child.
The proverbial drama queen.

Have you ever met children? They don’t walk away maturely when they disagree or find issue with something.
"Victims" have been boring the world for 60 years +...
Lily's always the victim. Just ask her.
She literally isn’t
Lily was great and funny. Walking off is lame.
It wasn’t supposed to be a performance. It was just a way of using her time more efficiently.
@@jeffryphillipsburns 👏💯
Lily... don't be such a.... Chad...
what a foul stunted chad
Wow, she is an incredibly immature adult. Bad joke yes, but nonetheless a joke. Lily was the original Karen.
Well, i agree with what Chad said...Not the ownership, but about a man & a woman relationship)marriage!
A very awkward interview. Lily Tomlin can't take a joke, she wasn't getting enough attention, so walked out. 😅
Chad was a Boss.
Chad was an idiot, you sound like one too
Lily Tomlin was the intolerant one. She gives us a glimpse of the roots of the woke moveement.
So woke means self respect and self awareness? Woke means having a spine and not taking disrespect? Woke means walking away from stupid a**holes? We should all WAKE UP AND GET WOKE. chads don't deserve our respect or time.
What?! Jesus, you people WILL NOT STOP. You HATE everything and everyone who is different than you and can't let anybody freaking live. Get over it!
Dudes rock.
What a legend. Andrew Tate in the 70’s!
