Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of him before but, a good interviewer is amazing to watch. I don't know who would be considered the top interviewers these days.

there may be better since him, but may have created the genre.

I recall enjoying Cavitt's dry style of humor, but he wasn't the type to weigh in with guns blazing.
Ivy League type of guy.

Cavett seemed too smug and arrogant to me...Mike Douglas was friendly and easy going and Steve Allen was funny...

A bit before my time, but I was watching a show on the making of the Iron Maiden album that put the band on the map in a YUGE way. Apparently they called the guy who owned the rights to the show, or the actor or whatever and asked to use a line from the show. They said the conversation was pretty short and IIRC, the dude pretty much just said "sure". The rest is rock history.

Ronald Reagan was the narrator of the "Death Valley Days" series...

77 Sunset Strip was a P.I. series set in L.A./Hollywood, starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. in his first of many starring roles in TV dramas
