The Dick Cavett Show was also the name of a short-lived radio show.

While Cavett and Carson shared many of the same guests, Cavett was receptive to rock and roll artists to a degree unusual at the time, as well as authors, politicians, and other personalities outside the entertainment field. Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll) is a form of Music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s with roots in mostly African (On The Tonight Show, such guests seldom took center stage, but would be booked last in order to fill the remaining time, if they appeared at all. ) The wider variety of guests, combined with Cavett's literate and intelligent approach to comedy, appealed to a significant enough minority of viewers to keep the show running for several years despite the competition.

On all three of the early ABC shows, the bandleader was Bobby Rosengarden and the announcer was Fred Foy of The Lone Ranger fame. Robert Marshall (Bobby Rosengarden ( April 23, 1924 - February 27, 2007) was a Jazz Drummer, percussionist and Fred Foy (born March 27, 1921 in Detroit Michigan) is an American actor and voice specialist The Lone Ranger is an American, long-running Old-time radio and early Television show created by George W The morning show was produced by Woody Fraser, the late-night show by John Gilroy.

The very first show (in daytime) featured Gore Vidal, Muhammad Ali, and Angela Lansbury, though this show was aired second, as ABC executives were unhappy with it.

In addition to the usual monologue, Cavett opened each show reading selected questions written by audience members, to which he would respond with witty rejoinders. ("'What makes New York so crummy these days?' Tourists. ")

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea, in the family Brassicaceae. Dalí responded with a barely coherent discourse regarding the similarity of the cauliflower head to the "mathematical problem discovered by Michelangelo in the rhinoceros' horn"! Cavett interrupted him by waving his hands in Dalí's face and exclaiming "Boogie boogie boogie!" just as his hero Groucho Marx did in A Night at the Opera.

Left alone on stage, Maddox cued the band and began singing "I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do" as Cavett reappeared in the wings to join in.

In an interview with Jimi Hendrix, Dick spoke to him about his performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock, in a way that seemed to be critical.

One of the guests, legal scholar Alexander Bickel, sided with Cavett. Alexander Mordecai Bickel ( December 17 1924 – November 8 1974) was a law professor and expert on the United States Constitution.
