"To be purely entertained" is perfectly allowable and thank you Martin for being purely entertaining. Many of us are sick of the culture of letting it all hang out. BORING! Being funny is genius and we love you for it. And Dick Cavett too.
Cavett kind of went AWOL around the 54:00 mark. The fact that he spent minutes on a bit part actor from the 40’s that no one in 2006 had ever heard of was sad to watch. Martin Short saved him and kept the interview entertaining. Bless him.
I saw Dick Cavett interview Blythe Danner in 2019 and he was great! This one was definitely not his best. Fun, but noticeably clunky for sure. Martin Short saved him so many times.
This was bad. Cavett comes off at times as petulant(Whats with him lamenting the 'intelligent' label? Short just proved cavett isn't "zany" or "wacky?!")And the note to wrap it up was CRUSHING! This was the early 00's and these two WERE both screen legends at the time.
Well, Well, Well…I have never seen Dick Cavett as an inebriated, incompetent, attack dog before…but here he is. I watched Dick Cavett when I was growing up. I hardly missed any of his shows in any of their iterations, including seeing him in person in N.Y.C. in 1968. Martin (if your out there) you have reached sainthood in my eyes. WTF….
What happened to Dick Cavett? My mother used to exclaim about how intelligent and erudite he was. And he just comes across as b***** here. Is it just me? Martin, however, is wonderful.
Dick almost went a full 6 minutes before his first mention of Groucho... A new personal best!
Short ANNIHILATES Cavett
😂
Hahahha
"Have we done acid together?" lol cracked me up. Quite a challenging interview, but also fascinating in a way. Short's sense of humor certainly helps.
Hillarious!

Thanks for uploading this. I like seeing a younger martin short.
Well until the technology exists to record things from the future every recording will be of the person when they were younger.
@@seanwebb605 I don't think he means zeitgeist Martin Short? And PLEASE administer passive aggression when it's called for? That's when it's funny
@@ttacking_you Calm yourself.
quite the interview, thank you
Is Martin Short the smartest and one of the funniest comics ever?
Dick was in physical and mental decline here, but 18 years later, he's still with us!
Not at all. What an ugly thing to say, troll.
Marty is no doubt one of the most talented comedians of our generation. He is part Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis, etc
Cut it out, you two old Warlocks! 😂 Dominus vo biscum, et tu spiri tu tu oh! 😂
I don't wanna say that's an old joke, but...😏
34:19 the accent 😂

And the mumbling? There's NO WAY they asked him to host another?
But of course Cavette is a legend. But he's more suited for broadcast formatting than long form interviews
This interview came a few months after Cavett lost his wife Carrie Nye to lung cancer. I'm willing to cut him some slack for being a bit out of it.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Never say that. It's trite and nauseating.
At this point in his career, Cavett's a lil clunky at times....but _smoothly_ clunky..

Martin Short is always great, Cavett seems to be trying to compete for airtime. Terrible interview, only Shorts class and talent saved the show.
56:56 I was wondering the same 🤔
Martin was soooo kind in this. Until it got to be too much.
This was almost painful to watch.
Oh yeah. The "wrap it up" thing. Cavett was "subpedestrian," anyone off the street would have been a bit better.
But daaaamn clunky
I first knew of them in the 1970's.

This is the worst interview Cavett ever did and Short is a great talent. What a waste.
