People talking, sharing ideas, speaking truth. This is beautiful. Current talk shows are like junk food for the brain. Thankyou for uploading.
There are some excellent long form interviewing in the podcast medium, and what’s cool is that a show can be successful regardless of whether one is getting famous entertainers on.
Yeah, the good conversations are hidden online, not so much on TV anymore.
Nothing can be discussed any more. Free thought is gone and thoughts are dictated now.
No, not junk food for the brain. Modern talk shows are for the listeners' visceral rush of having their buttons pushed. It's like a continual carnival ride.
Every time I walk by his salad dressings at the market I smile in recognition and respect.
That Caesar dressing is excellent. His thin crust pizzas too.
Me too
@Ross Peeler - What a wonderful legacy...salad dressing...
@capri2673….Me too.

My older brother once served Mr. Newman a drink in a bar somewhere in Connecticut. He said Mr. Newman was very polite.
Incredible , storeys like this don’t turn up too often
Jim McCracken Being polite in it of itself isn’t anything mind blowing but since he was as popular as he was, it’s always better to see someone like him be polite and act as a fellow human rather than be full of themselves and act above everyone.
@@mrjagriff Yeah. Pete Rose once ran past me in the street, once, too.
@@djwise21 Exactly. Mr. Newman was a soft spoken person, in spite of his fame. Some people aren't.
My brother's best friend, J, was a friend of Newman's daughter at horse camp in the 70s. One day J fell off a horse. A hand reached through the fence to help her up. It was Newman's. He had brought his friend Robert Redford. Next thing she knew, she was in the back seat of a VW Bug with Newman's daughter and Paul and Robert up front. This was the era shortly after the release of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. They went out to eat and were treated like royalty. (J was also a friend of Robin Williams. She had served as a consultant for Awakenings.)
Holy Paul Newman.. Literally a God in looks. The most Beautiful man I ever did see. Must be those sparkling eyes..
Isn't he pretty! He's Austrian Hungarian one parent Jewish the other Christian his parents had a sporting goods store and I think he was a pilot in the military for a bit too so he's very salt of the earth.
He was unable to be a pilot because he was colorblind.He did serve in WW2in the navy as a airplane radio man and gunner .
He was down to earth with a caring heart.
I agree! For me it's the curly blonde hair, and his personality most of all.
I waited on Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward ( there were others in the party ) at a restaurant in Long Beach during the Grand Prix week many years ago. He was a class act and so was JW. No pretentions, easy going, laid back. He had the stuffed pork chops and a couple of long-necked Bud's. He was a class act without even trying...
I love Paul Newman’s movies & he’s a Director & his products are great. He speaks his mind about politics & I wish he were here now. Rest In Peace Paul.
Glad to see that Mr Newman showed great interest in his community.
What a great guy he was.
Love listening to a man that is passionate about the subject. Mr. Newman had so many layers ❤
I don't know the context and I do not want to spend the evening trawling through wiki. What a class act this man was.
OpinionDay007 sounds like something I would do. The internet is so amazing
When talk shows were important.
Were they? Do not get me wrong - I can see the thoughtfulness behind Paul Newman's answers here and the precision in his delivery. I also respect Dick Cavett and have come here after subscribing to his channel, one of the first I subscribed to on UA-cam. I do, however, question your assertion - which is not to say that I think it is wrong. The political race being spoken about took place in 1970. Okay, leaving aside individual feelings, -how- were talk shows important?
My friend to be respectful
If i need to explain
Well
Enough said
Have a nice day
@@bluetickfreddy101 Pardon but I do not see how you are being respectful - to apply your word. I was/am providing you with an opportunity to expand on your point. I see that as a positive invitation and you seem to have brushed me aside, perhaps even casting aspersions on my intelligence. That is something which I do not appreciate and can only hope that I have misread the situation. Care to try again? An honest question: *how* were talk shows important?
Yeah well the shows are only as good as their guests no gorgeous philanthropist actors like him around to interview anymore. Like people just virtue signal now that man raised like millions and millions of dollars for children 100% of proceeds to charity not just yap yap "someone" should do something he just did it himself. He's like a guys guy too races cars likes to have a few drinks loves his wife. Pretty much perfect.
Went to hear Paul Newman campaign for Joe Duffy in 1970 in Trumbull, CT. Mr. Newman put action behind his words.
The man had a good impartial mind.
Things did not appear to be quite as partisan back then.
Seems like all the times are interesting times.
Well I think back then both the Left n Right loved the country, they just had differing views on improving & moving it in a positive direction. Now (maybe not the rank n file, that don't realize their JFK party ceased to exist years ago feel this way)the American Left despises the country and its doing its best to turn it into a "Cubanzuela".
Politics were not as partisan back then. Paul Newman would be horrified by today.
@@robertacolarette1594 True, Newman & the type were traditional liberals as opposed to the America despising Leftist of today. I think the liberal leanings had a lot to do with coming up through the bohemian lifestyle of the Actors Studio. McQueen, Voight, and Duvall were exceptions, although Voight was kind of a hippie liberal for a time.
@@discernment8963 Baloney. Commenters here forget that the Deep South was the home of Jim Crow and the Deep South was controlled by Democrats. Dodd vs. Duffy was in 1970, so when Newman made these remarks the Democrats were still fighting racism inside the party. You only need to think back to 1964 when Goldwater vs. Johnson demonstrated how partisan things were and then consider 1968 when the country almost disintegrated. Today, there is no such thing as a moderate Republican. Every GOP senator and congressman in the Northeast was a moderate back then. Today's GOP is a right wing party and the Democratic Party is right of center. There is no liberal party today.
@@clarissak.4587 If by "Me Me Me" you mean hardworking, overtaxed, overregulated Americans you'd be correct. Which of course I know you don't. It's obvious you've bought into and are indoctrinated by a theoretical utopian bill of goods and you're parroting. Spend some time with people who've dealt with a few decades in small business while at the same time being dictated to by the likes of BHO, or our present dementia ridden puppet who themselves have never managed a paper route or a shift leader at a real world McDonalds type setting, as opposed to only book theory or politics. Lots of things sound wonderful in college prof's fantasy theory, but unfortunately that isn't the real world, which is where I get my references from. Also, maybe I'm taking too much for granted, but I assume you believe in freedom (including speech) for all law abiding Americans. If that's not an over assumption on my part, how do you even begin to rationalize the Left's latest great accomplishments of Cancel Culture?
What a big actor and person!
A sex symbol that actually wasn't overrated as an actor.
And wasnt a prick. He doesnt seem human. Hes just so perfect. And you just cant hate him for it
Thank you to the person that uploaded this and thank you to You Tube for providing an environment for people to explore things from the past. I watched a video of a group called marmalade the song "reflections of my life". i forgot about that song and hadn't heard it from when I was a child and in these troubling times and insecurity reaching back to the past to rediscover inspiration and hope for the future is a very positive thing.
I don't really know what he's saying. Because I just look at him and he's just so beautiful....
You should not vote
Daniel Roberts.. You are LAME
I’ll never forget Paul Newman on late night (Leno or letterman)when he was challenged to eat his Paul Newman brand dog food and he happily took a spoonful and ate some ! and proved right there that his product is not garbage😬🐶
He used to be very good friends with David Letterman. They both lived in Connecticut. Both had car racing teams and both had vacation homes in Montana. They both were recovering alcoholics as well and used to hang out often. Knowing Letterman's personality since I watched his show from an early age, I would bet that a dumb stunt like asking a guest to eat dog food sounds like something Leno would do. His show was not my bag. Never found him funny or affable.
hauntedhouse Well, I was intrigued since I had never heard of Paul Newman eating dog food on national television, so I googled Paul Newman eats dog food and what do you know. He ate his Newman's Own dog food in 2006 on, of course, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
@@cactaceous : it was Letterman.
Jim Jonrs Google it. Leno.
@@cactaceous : Google 😂
One of my all time heroes..........
Andrew Robinson yeah. Dick Cavett was the best!
Set up barretstown foundation here in ireland. A children's charity /respite for kids who had cancer. And who spent alot of time in hospital.
Gorgeous man with a gorgeous heart ❣❣❣
Paul is a Lovely man.. Solid, cavett is as always excellent ✌️ 🎥 🕉 🇮🇪 2020
his eyes are amazing
He had the most striking blue eyes I've ever seen.
@@MissjunebugfreakHey!....they appear to be a light hazel rather striking blue..lol
"The woman" is course Joanne Woodward (turned 90 in Feb 2020), they were married in 1958.
Can we get more Paul Newman please?
No, Kathleen Kennedy don't want you to see real men on screen
@@MarquisDeSang patrick newman has been dead for 12 years dumbass
@@uberco0l257 It's not Patrick, but Paul dumbass
@@MarquisDeSang bro Paul Newman was a leftist socialist and he would be friends with Kathleen Kennedy too.
You weirdo right wingers spread lies and conspiracy theories
What a handsome bastard.
Long live democratic socialism and freedom
Notice his critique of the antidemocratic process of the DNC primaries? That's still among this country's biggest hindrances to progress.
"There's something about me that digs the hassle."
Hey thats the guy on my popcorn bag
Like Paul Newman's energy , is commen sense. 🇩🇰🇺🇸🙏💚📬
Way before my time but I love him 😍 🤣
The political awareness he had in the 1970s is a very good thing. he always thought ahead of time. I think if he were from our generation, I'm sure he would be a positive example and lead many to a better vision of egalitarian politics
Cool hand Luke was definitely in the top ten movies of all time...
Get the man get the man...
I do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like all the other Dick Cavett interviews
How handsome he was ~ his eyes trademark for eternity ~ makes any clothes look great ~ long ago yet timeless ~
my oma dated Paul Newman, she said he was so handsome and nice,
now that i see his eyes...he could be my daddy. lol i do have half sister my mom told me before she died but only knew she was born in san fansico and her nic name was susdy. i have looked all over the genology sites...no luck, I wanted to meet her and tell her that I love her and sorry for what my daddy did,
On Newman’s film, WUSA:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WUSA_(film)
Very good actor
doesn't matter one hoot in hell what your political preferences are that's personal. I think Paul is encourging people to vote which is cool
well the movie they are talking about WUSA, came out in 1970, so I guess that dates the interview as being the same year.
Damm was he handsome, DDG, and smart too!,,,,!
He was a 10x better actor than Reagan or Eastwood and a far better person. I have noticed in life the people who are genuinely good at their job are better people because they have never had to crap on other people to get there.
Eastwood is a great actor, and who did he and Reagan crap on? I have noticed in life that political hacks have wild but predictable imaginations.
@@naysayer1238 Put your “Make America Great Again” hat on and sit in the corner.
@@david-pb4bi lol Perfect, thanks, bigot. Didn't vote for Trump, there, windbag.
Regardless of what you believe politically, try to make sure you’re thinking for yourself. Nowadays especially, so many celebrities conform to views that are only associated with left-wing activism. I agree with some left-wing ideas, but reject others. If your political views always closely align with one political party, then you are not thinking for yourself.
If someone tells me their opinions are all to the left or all to the right, I regard them as either a liar or a nut case.
Not to mention that the definitions change over time due to cultural shifts or political point scoring, I've seen people who identify as libertarians labelled as right wing and even left leaning people smeared with that brush.
The Guy There used to be plenty of pro-life Democrats, but not anymore.
Nice to see comments containing reason within them. I personally do not think with political rhetoric in mind. I do not look at my fellow man with "Stars & Stripes" lenses on. Case by case basis. I speak & let others place me in whichever political box they so choose, they're going to do that anyways.
You can find more folks with differing life experiences and perspectives on the left than the right, which skews older and is overwhelmingly White, Christian and heterosexual. The right doesn't really have the numbers on their side on a national level, and as many folks' views have increasingly shifted to the progressive side on issues like healthcare, marriage equality, reproductive rights, gun control, etc, the right has increasingly resorted to inflaming the tribalist fears of their base. Trump has effectively replaced GOP dog whistle politics with a full blown bull horn.
I love the topics. But, man, the 1970s was not the decade for good hair...
I mean. He's gorgeous, don't get me wrong.
Or dress style. Polyester suits. Looks like he has a perm!
It was a wonderful time my friend
Trust me, I was in HS in that time period, and burned every picture of me of those 4 years
@@winnifredforbes8712 Nope thats called a "Celtic Kink " I have the same thing
These were "Say Shows". Now people just talk in them.
So let me see if I’m digging what Paul is saying: Duffey is running for the Senate...lol
Frank Butta wait. Isn’t that Biden??
Study his WW2 record. .He was blessed to Survive. .Yeah Ohio. .
He was in Okinawa why did you say just Ohio??
@@nast3282 i think he might meab that ohio men as him are strong and brave
in the final analysis . . .
Cool hand needed a buzz job.newman and McQueen the best
Wow, he knew back then corrupticate was a real thing
Oh Hey there Doc.
It was so sad when he died. I wanted to see more of him in cars 2 & 3
How relevant. We have to crack the machinery - so our vote goes from downstairs to upstairs. Unreal. THIS INTERVIEW WAS 50 YEARS AGO and we're talking about the same shit still!~ are we New England? Are we serfs? We got this. We have to
I want to know about the celebrity and not how funny they and the host are.
Solid interview. If you offend nobody you have no character! Love that. Trump has no character but is still highly offensive
I find both Democrats and Republicans highly offensive. They are both controlled by corporate special interests and the military/industrial complex..
Jeez, we almost went five seconds without shitting on the president! So close, people, so close...
Think Paul is a bit buzzed here 👍😂
Duffy? Who?
"digs the hassle"
Right wingers: Liberal celebrities should keep their mouths shut about politics.
Also right wingers: vote for a reality TV host to the nation's highest office.
Liii Kat That’s successful businessman-real estate mogul-near-billionaire... tv host to you, bub!
@@kevinmiddleton8721 He was successful every time his father bailed him out.
@Christian Tompkins The New York media slammed him when he was a Democrat no less than they do now.
Also, it's not slander when it's true.
The man was always a scumbag con artist...that, of course, is imo.
@Christian Tompkins Actually, Chris, he was called a racist during the Central Park 5 controversy as well as for his actions as a lessor to non-whites long before his entry into electoral politics, back when he was a Dem..
CNN is interested in ratings, which Trump always pulled, and is hardly politically left or progressive.
The less said about Piers Morgan, the better...a waste of time, imo.
@Christian Tompkins You can make all the excuses you want, just go over what he said about that issue as well as his birther crap re: Obama (Who I didn't vote for and dislike.) Look at the way he dealt with minorities as a landlord, not that he was good with whites, but he was worse with blacks.
As for the vid clip...do you actually expect him to admit he's a racist or the like?
Listen, you like/support the man...fine...it's your right...but don't lie to yourself and others about him.
All "times" are "interesting times".
Nice people no longer exist.
Are you not a nice person?
On the contrary Mr. Newman, you had the child because you're flipping the bill.
Big popular stars should stay out of politics.
What a guy!!!!!
The perm has thrown me off. And as much as I like Paul Newman (and the fact that he drives race cars as well as act), his politics are a meandering mind fart. Didn’t understand who the hell Duffy was or what he represented. Dump the politics, Paul ... you’re one if the great actors,
It wasn't a perm by the way
He advocated for grassroots democracy in the Democratic primaries. They still don't want poor and working people to be fully represented in government.
People with pretty eyes can solve the the worlds problems? Pffft makes good mayonnaise tho
He's doesn't simply have pretty eyes. If you read deeper than the absolute surface, you'd see that he has high intelligence and has a very well regulated emotional intelligence. He's very articulate and wanted to use his popularity to spread awareness of issues he believed to be important. He may not have dramatically changed the world, but his influence has left an incredible legacy of hard work, charity, dedication, humbleness, and activism for those in need.
Hey!...yes, appears he has pretty light hazel eyes ❤️
This man was beautiful inside and out. Great human being. And the Democrats he speaks of in this interview are not the DEMONcrats aka SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST Party of today. VOTE REPUBLICAN ALL OVER THIS GREAT NATION. IN THE CITY, COUNTY, STATE. In 2020 2024 and BEYOND.
ok conservatard. workers of the world unite bitch.
So AmeRicanItalian Israel, what's your favorite kool-aid flavor?
How come that commie party is owned by big corporations and eager to start a war with Russia?
Paul was a great actor and should have stuck to acting. I can dig that.
Rugs have philosophies?
TRUMP 2020!
5T3VO if he survives the virus
Bill Clinton worked for duffy’s campaign. Newman would never ever have supported trump.
Trump is Archie Bunker with a full wallet.
@@dominiczerafa8990 then Pence becomes President.
William Yates The character Archie Bunker had a conscience.
Looks bit like Paul Hollywood
Yawn.
As this aired ole Paul was having an affair behind Joans back. Comes off like De zero.
stick to makeup and playing make believe you aint no politician sums up all actors
Too bad he was such a lefty !!!
That’s one cringe worthy outfit 😱
It was simply "smart bohemian" at the time.
