Dick Cavett is back on television as ABC's new entrant in the late-night race. The format is desk and sofa five nights a week like the Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin shows. As Cavett sees it, it's the chemistry that counts. His forte:an articulate way with an interview, plus approaches to comedy that range from youthful innocence to the cynicism of WC.Fields.
Guest: Clifford Irving.
A satiric survey of 1972 as seen through the eyes of Alan and guests...comics Larry Storch, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, and Johnny Brown; Nancy Dussault of "The Dick Van Dyke Show"; and Hollywood columnist Rona Barrett. The jokes are aimed at the Presidential campaign, the Clifford Irving hoax, the Watergate incident, the recalling of defective automobiles, and acupuncture.
