My goal right now is to grow my hair out like Mr. Cavett's here.

Dick Cavett...the Charlie Rose of his day and a fellow Nebraskan.

I salute you, Dick.

I liked how erudite some of the conversations could get on his show. You don't see that very often in talk shows. An interesting combination of people having some rather fascinating conversations.

Hott. Cavett was hott. I also really like when he writes about depression in his NYtimes column/blog.

This is one of those things I am much too young to remember.

So there's this New Zealish movie, The Quiet Earth, right? It begins with a man waking up and finding that every other person on earth is vanished, though traces and signs of them remain everywhere. Eventually, as he wanders through empty cities, reveling in his freedom and trying not to go mad from the loneliness, he finds that there are others...

Basically what I'm saying is I'd like ECB to write a feminism post today, so I can look at the comments and remember this fine film.

Oh c'mon. If you're going to post great Dicks that us old fuddy-duddies will remember, what about Dick Rowan and Dick Smothers?

I don't remember it either, then I wasn't allowed to watch t.v. very much.

So I guess while Dan was galavanting around the US of A, Slog made a decision to have no dick day without him, so now he's going to be a dick. Or maybe he's being a cunt. It must be delightful to work with him on a daily basis.

I never knew Dick Cavett either, but my dad was a fanboy. The one thing I know about Cavett was that he was genius enough to make anagrams of anyone's name at a moment's notice. Alec Guinness was Genuine Class.

I wonder if it is fun to work for someone with such a childish streak. Is it only dick comments that get deleted today?

@18, you pretty much got it.

When can we expect the Dick York / Dick Sargent post?

@12, that was Dan Rowan. Guess you don't remember it as well as you thought.

Yep, I know, those were the drug years. . . .

@15 is Dan.

Dick van Dyke?

@21, you're right! I was thinking of Dick Martin, the other half of Rowan and Martin. "Say goodnight, Dick...goodnight, Dick." Talk about an old joke!

Savage is fishing for ways to get people's comments deleted....I'm strangely impressed (or is that strangerly?)

I love Dick Cavett. If anyone is bored with the lack of dicks here today, go check out his blog, http://cavett.blogs.nytimes.com.

Waaaaaaay back in the day, when NYT charged for the "premium" content, his blog was one of the reasons I subscribed. He's hilarious, and tells amazing stories about old/dead celebrities you probably don't think about every day, and he can be a little bit of a dick, too.

Why has Dick Cavett been replaced by Dinah Shore?

For being Burt Reynolds beard?

Or is it a racial thing? (the old, old rumor that Dinah Shore is half black)

Regardless, Dinah rocked.

Dick Nixon is the Rodney Dangerfield of politics. He can't get no respect. People give too much credit to Reagan. Nixon's divisive cultural politics are what made Reagan possible. Even the photo of tricky dick that once led this post is gone. Alas and alack.

I've always wondered if Pauly Shore is somehow distantly related to her - not that it helped, obviously!

This must be the designated dick driver thread, but it keeps the RSS time traveling back to 9am.
