Note to this channel: The air date you've given in the description for this episode -- December 14, 1977 -- cannot be correct. That's at least a year too early, for either the air date or the taping date. Dick mentions that the film 'California Suite' was already playing in theaters around the country -- and that wasn't released until December 1978. More likely, it aired in February 1979, since that's when Simon's musical 'They're Playing Our Song' had its Broadway premiere (which was about to happen when this interview was filmed, as Dick mentions), and 'California Suite' still would have been playing in movie theaters.
Edit: According to online sources, the air date would have been February 28, 1979 (taped earlier that month).
Sorry, watching this I can't help but flash back to SCTV skits from the early '80s -- Rick Moranis as Dick Cavett, Dave Thomas as Neil Simon. 😊
Thanks for sharing this. Please post more interviews with Neil Simon. ❤️❤️❤️
gosh, I love this interview. listening to Dick Cavett talk to theater people is so wonderful. we're lucky today to have someone like Stephen Colbert carry on this tradition.
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 around here.
