I'm addicted to Gene Wilder interviews at the moment... I'm not sure exactly why but I always feel a little calmer and a little wiser after I've heard him speaking. A very wise man and a phenomenally funny actor. R.I.P. Jerome Silverman

What a wonderful man, I just wish I could have met this wonderful person. God bless his soul.

The way Dick's face light up when Gene says he's going to get married, you'd think Gene had just proposed to him! :''D

Probably just happy for him with what he went through with his wife

Dick Cavett is an amazing interviewer! TAKE LESSONS, Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon!!

[@SaintMartins]

They're comedians there not supposed to be serious interviewers. Haven't you ever seen their shows? Your comment shows your ignorance.

[@thetruthchannel349]

Sonnyis right. Colbert is a disaster. Kimmel is intolerable.

[@peterhaywood4111]

@@SaintMartins Dick Cavett was a stand-up comic and comedy writer on several well known TV shows. Ultimately, the reason why is irrelevant. Dick Cavett is the best interviewer in history.

The Truth Channel THANK YOU. Crazy how many clueless retards there are out there!!

So that explains why his acting was so radioactive, in a good way

Geez, I actually have that whole show in crisp quality. This channel struck it down for this quality.

I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos on YT.

[@nickycotton6137]

Blimey! Gilda ( *RIP* ) been gone over 30 yrs already! Saturday Night Live were 'Bang out of order' using her illness to make plenty of $'S!! Gene over 5 yrs passed!! Sometimes forget he's not longer about!😕. Top Gent'/Actor. (BLESS)

[@adamtzsch]

I’m pretty sure her name was Gilda, not “Glinda”.

[@BX138]

Please listen more carefully. Dick says "Gilda".

[@BX138]

@2:43 He says 'Gilda'.

Yugoslavia wasn't that bad back then. Food, wine and people were pretty good for a Communist country. Bet if it was on America's doorstep the place would be crawling with their tourists. Given the exchange rate, I know it...
