This broadcast was reduced from its customary one hour time slot to a half hour because of a special broadcast scheduled to follow at 10:30pm (US Open Golf Highlights). The first of five appearances by Groucho Marx on THE DICK CAVETT SHOW. Groucho is introduced by Cavett. He sings "Hello, I Must Be Going," a tune he sung in the Marx Brothers motion picture, HORSE FEATHERES. Dick comments on Groucho's hat. Groucho states that he is glad that Dick Cavett is back on television with a prime time show. Groucho Marx reminisces about his childhood and his home where he lived in Manhattan and first days attending elementary school.

Groucho Marx sings the complete song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady," from the movie A DAY AT THE CIRCUS, and states an anecdote during the making of the film when a midget had to be hired last minute to fit into an Orangutan's costume. Dick Cavett thanks Groucho Marx for appearing on the show and mentions again the briefness of the broadcast due to a special US Open Highlights broadcast following on ABC TV. NOTE: This night after sign off, Groucho continued to guest with Dick Cavett for another half hour.

During the summer of 1969 he hosted a thrice-weekly prime-time series on ABC, and later that year he succeeded Joey Bishop as host of the network's late-night talk show. Cavett brought with him the announcer and bandleader who had worked with him on his earlier shows - Fred Foy, who was for decades the announcer of The Lone Ranger on radio and television, and drummer Bobby Rosengarten. This new format was another attempt by ABC to compete against NBC's highly successful Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Originally broadcast five nights a week. However, by January of 1973, the show was seen only one week a month as Cavett's ratings failed to dent Carson's. Jack Paar's return to late night television after an eleven year absence was similarly seen only one week a month under the new ABC series moniker, ABC's WIDE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. On January 1st, 1975, The Dick Cavett Show disappeared from the network all together. In the fall of 1977 Cavett appeared on PBS in a half-hour talk show on which he returned to his strong talent: one - guest interviews. Guest: New York City Mayor John Lindsay.

Rodale's Onstage Death As noted in Cavett's autobiography, (pg321-323) on June 7th, 1971, publisher J.I. Rodale, an advocate of organic farming, died of a heart attack during taping. Cavett was speaking with journalist Pete Hamill when Rodale began to make a snoring noise. Cavett's reaction to this is contested-he claims that both he and Hamill realized immediately that something was wrong, while other accounts have him addressing the unconscious man "Are we boring you, Mr. Rodale?" The audience did not realize anything was seriously wrong until Cavett asked (avoiding the cliche) "Is there a doctor in the audience?" The program was never aired and a rerun aired in its place. The following night, June 8th, 1971 (George Burns is a guest) Cavett describes his reaction at length as to what happened during last night's taping regarding J.I. Rodale's death and discusses the incident. An audio aircheck of this opening exists; it is archived in the collection of Archival Television Audio, Inc. (www.atvaudio.com).

Comedian Henny Youngman does a stand-up routine, and relates about his early years in show business. He idolized Milton Berle. George Plimpton discusses his research interviewing comedians including Woody Allen with his own objective to attempt stand-up comedy on his own. He demonstrates his "act" to the audience. He states the most inventive and brilliant comedian of all is Jonathan Winters. The segment with Bill Russell runs 15 minutes. Russell is introduced by Steinberg. He is persuaded to take a raw shack test (first thing that comes to his mind) by Steinberg. Bill describes his feelings about Wilt Chamberlin and states why he was so great (in a comedic conclusion Bill mentions that Wilt was the second best player, ever). Russell talks about his initiative to be the first person to grow a beard as a player and how he got his reputation. Bill Russell and David Steinberg play one on one...Russell states his favorite shot a "dunk shot." In a brief appearance, Dr. Theodore Rubin discusses his book, "Forever Thin." He states the myths about fat people, and defines "obese psychology." NOTE: Television commercials included.

Willie Mays' only time substituting as host of a talk show. He fills in for Dick Cavett (Dick Cavett Show). He takes questions from the audience including one heard/asked by 15 year old fan, Richard Jerome, wanting to how Willie felt being on deck when Bobby Thompson hit his famous "shot heard round the world," home run October 3, 1951 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mays answers that he was more nervous at that time then presently hosting the Dick Cavett Show. Earlier in the broadcast Willie Mays reads question cards written by those in the audience. Again a question by Richard Jerome who writes, "Which of your baseball accomplishments has meant the most to you, which includes hitting four homeruns in Milwaukee in 1961, reaching the mark of 500 homeruns in 1965...600 homeruns in 1969, and achieving your 3000th hit?" Mays' answer: "Richard, I'd take either one of them myself. At the time when I first broke in I went 0 for 24. So anyone of these I would take." Other questions include "Why are you (Willie) playing ball at the age of 40?" Willie responds that he would like to still be playing baseball at 48. Willie's guest, his former New York Giant manager, Leo Durocher, swap anecdotes with one another about playing and managing during the 1950's. Durocher states that he told Willie Mays who was batting 0 for 20 leading into the World Series against the New York Yankees that if he didn't get a World Series hit, he wouldn't get any World Series money. Also remembered by Durocher his first experiences with Willie when Mays wanted to quit baseball because he was doing poorly but encouraged him to keep playing. Leo told Willie at that low point in his career that he believed in him and that he would always be his centerfielder. Another anecdote when picking up Willie at his place on 155th Street in NYC to attend an important function, he found Willie playing stick ball in the street, and coerced him to get into car which Willie did, but the back seat of his Cadillac, and shouted out loud to Leo, "Chauffer, whenever you are ready." Also, discussed, remembrances of Leo's son Chris who was Willie's roommate for a time. NOTE: Broadcast joined in progress.
