  • Cavett has a brilliant sense of humour...it's Dick's dry delivery that is often over most peoples heads. Marvelous!! And thank you to Mr. Cleese. You're genius is unsurpassed. WOW!!! 1979. John was just turning 40. In his prime for sure. Thanks, from Tim in Ontario, Canada.

    • Imagine if even half of people talking nowadays would care to have a respectful, genuine conversation like this. Yes, it sounds like an old cliché but you cannot find me one instance of such an exchange in any major television network, I'll bet. It's funny that we live in the age of communication yet it has only enabled us to exhibit our worst instincts to each other (such as tribalism) rather than discover, connect and learn, if you look at the big picture in any general-access platform.

    • That sort of attraction to intelligence is called "sapiosexuality." I'm quite sapiosexual myself. A woman who might not be conventionally beautiful is extraordinally attractive to me if she's well-spoken and knows of what she speaks or writes. There's almost certainly a similar term for physical attraction to one with a well-developed sense of humor, but I don't know it.

I chose to defend this movie since I said it was not about religion but about the environment at 33 AD. So I got the top score 5 even though I had not actually seen the movie but I just heard a lot about it.

  • I almost never looked at these comments because i thought most of them would make reference to the height difference, which i find cheap and pathetic. (I'm talking about the difference of well over a foot, perhaps a foot and a half.) You get that sort of thing so often-the moment the host shakes hands with the guest eclipses the hour-long talk that follows. Surprisingly, there's no mention whatsoever of the diminutive Cavett looking like a boy being taken to his first day at school by his dad. My faith in humanity has been restored.

Seems to have gone from beyond to understood to irritating to watch because of lack of preparation and research. So much praise in these comments for a Nebraska boy that seemed so desperate to be respected by the New England intelligentsia.

    • ​@@TheMontyPythonMuseumOnline No, it's the left wing which bans books and entire science papers. 1. When science papers show that most ["between-legs conversions"] are a social fad, the papers are WITHDRAWN (Brown U, 2018, Virginia Tech 2023). Not because of science, but because they "upset" people. We're back to the times of Galileo, where "upsetting" science is shut down, except now by lefties :) 2. Amazon, with a lefty mgmt has banned all books & items featuring the South flag, books that question [between-legs conversion] and anything that may "encourage" [light color] nationalism (very vague) 100s of books banned by lefty Amazon, far more than anything in US school libraries :) 3. Lefty sites now shut down ALL their comment sections because people contradict the state-sanctioned official lefty "narrative" :) 4. I, and many others, must use workarounds in YT comments (see above) because lefty YT will delete anything challenging lefty views. Did you know any of the above? Of course not. You live in a lefty media bubble, where lefty censorship is just ignored. As you're a loyal supporter of the lefty political and cultural establishment, and you hold all the correct, state-approved views, the lefty censorship will never affect you, so you'll never "see" it :)
