This is the greatest thing I've ever seen today:
(the "low battery" message near the 8:30 mark is in the clip, don't panic)

I went down a Cavett wormhole last night after this one
Mailer sounds like an Aussie, which is weird.

Mailer sounds like an Aussie, which is weird. I initially read that as "Mailer sounds like an Asshole," and wondered what was so weird about that. |

I have conflicting views on the Mailer Vidal clip. On the one hand it makes you wistful for a time when intellectuals/thinkers/writers could occupy centre stage in the mainstream media, but on the other hand you wonder why they were taken so seriously in the first place. There is something slightly surreal in a mass audience watching an argument about a piece few of them will have read.

This is the best Dick Cavett interview I've seen

Jack Paar was Johnny Carson's immediate predecessor as host of The Tonight Show, and the man who really established the template for the show. He was, I think, one of the most brilliantly funny and fascinating raconteurs we've ever had on the box - and despite his own gabby nature, he could be a superb interviewer, too.
Anyway, I just lost an hour I could ill afford watching this, and I don't regret it (yet). Dick Cavett had been a writer on his show. (It might be worth starting about 7 minutes in, when Paar actually comes out - the retrospective preamble is a bit long, imo.)
