There is some fun synergy with the classic NY Jewish comic and the dry Midwestern host. Reminds me of Mel Brooks on Carson. Great combination. Razor sharp wits.
If you can find it, listen to the CD “Woody Allen: The Standup Years”. His timing was perfection and the bits are pure gold. Hard to watch some of this in 2020 without thinking “you can’t say that, it’s too much”. A complex person with some serious issues, depending on what you think about what’s been made public, but a hugely talented and gifted artist nonetheless.
I have only seen a few clips with Dick Cavett, but enough to see that he is just about as witty as they come. Put him and Woody Allen in the same room, and you witness a comic inflation (astronomical pun intended)
Thanks for posting this clip. I remember watching this performance & I still feel that "Take The Money & Run" is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. I remember that the ushers at the old 68th Steet Playhouse in NYC were laughing as loud as the audience.🤗
@@linneybest3289 : Linney thanks for your comment. For most of my life seeing one of Woody's films was an event. That's how much I enjoyed his work. Now we live in different times. The Pandemic has changed much of the life I knew. When I was growing up in the 1950s/60s in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg section of Brooklyn there were about 13 movie theatres in 2-3:mile radius. A few of them I would not recommend except that they showed triple features. Today, I believe there are only 3 & they, one of them does not encourage all of mankind to patronize their establishment. For the most part you have to buy your tickets in advance. This drives he nuts. Being a 20th Century Man I have not been able to adapt to all these changes in our lifestyles. One is the reclining seats in the theatres. True they are comfortable but it is embarrassing when you can't seem to adjust them to their normal positions when you are ready to leave.😈 Especially when you need assistance. What truly bothers me is the lack of advertisements for films these days. True all the animated films get pushed & also the super hero films. How many of these are made a year? Two weeks ago I purchased a film directed by Woody Allen that I never heard about, "A Rainy Day In New York." I found this film to be one of the most enjoyable films I have seen in years. Other than Jude Law, an actor that I rarely enjoy watching, I had no idea who the cast was. Yet I found myself enjoying every moment of this film, even Mr. Law. I couldn't believe the lack of fanfare this film received. Most films today I see depends on the actors & even some of my favorites have been showing up in garbage, like Mel Gibson. I can't remember the last Bruce Willis film that I enjoyed. A few years ago a film named "The Good Liar" with0 Helen Mirren & Ian McKellin came out. Mr. McKellin, other than his 2015 film "Mr. Holmes", has never impressed me as an actor. Well he & Ms.Mirren(always a favorite of mine) knocked my socks off.The film got good but not great reviews . But another thriller that came out the same year was nominated for the Oscar for original screenplay & was hailed by critics everywhere. This film was the awful "Knives Out." Seeing this film & knowing how popular it was depressed me greatly. Mainly, in my opinion, I see that not just in films but in sports, television, education or lack of(I am a retired history teacher) we are becoming a society that praises mediocrity. It angers & scares me at the same time. So if Woody Allen films are on of the few things if life that keep me going I wish that someone let's me know if & when Mr. Allen is putting out a new film.✌ Sorry if I annoyed you. I truly didn't mean to. Be well Enjoy life!🤩
Talk about "telling it like it is " with imagination. Woody viewed his own film clip with great admiration because even he knew that the movie "Take The Money And Run " was pretty damn funny. When you can make yourself laugh, that's when you know you've got a real thing of beauty.
@@robertarnold9676 nope. He was not her step dad either. Woody and Mia were never married. They didn’t even live together. You could have checked those facts on wikipedia before commenting, you know.
@@goldendusty1951 truly hilarious! When he shows her how to eat rice by shoveling it in!...the whole scene from start is epic! Playing with his track medal,and when she says oh a bourbon man,he’s like I’m putting away a quart a day!
Annie Hall! Especially when, after she and Woody break up, she calls him to have him come over and kill a spider in her bathroom. He comes out to ask her for a tennis racquet to kill the spider that is “ the size of a 1954 Buick”. The best line ever!
@@jamesmack3314 From Wikipedia, "In the 1950s, Fire Island, NY became a "LGBTQ Mecca" (one of three that included Provincetown, Massachusetts and Key West, Florida), where homosexuals "could enjoy a carefree, 24-hour-a-day queer life comfortably removed from a homophobic America."
Woody is a talented clarinet-player as well. He should play together old-time-jazz with Martin Schmidt-Hahn, a clarinet- expert from Hamburg, u can see on u tube as well
They're Converse Jack Purcell's, it's not a hole, it's a cutaway in the sole with the brand name on that provides an air gap for extra grip. I've worn J.P's all my life. Greatest shoe ever!
@@sampleoffers1978 Yeah, I believe he wanted to make a joke about it, but Dick didn´t see that cutaway so he didn´t say anything. They should have coordinated that.
@@pappy374 I'm sure some feminist somewhere might argue that he in fact did not "love fat chicks" like he said, before going into minute and deliberately disgusting detail about what he loves. The joke is who'd love fat chicks? Low hanging would be a Nixon Joke.
Absolutely loved how Dick Cavett made Woody laugh at the end of this.

He was so full of energy when he was young.
I'd love to see them have another interview like this 50+ years after the fact.
I think this is the only time I've seen Woody Allen willingly watch a scene from one of his films

That last sentence was very well put.

I liked him
I have that CD and agree with you. He was a terrific stand up comic and I think a wonderful filmmaker.

Haha- the subtle shoulder-shrug and verbal brush off of audience laughter when Woody mentions Fire Island. Masterful.
Woody's hysterical reaction is priceless to Cavett's final remark about heavyweight fights (marriage of Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman)!
It doubtlessly gave Woody the idea for the ending scene in "Bananas."
Rare you see him laughing that hard on someone else’s jokes
@@kenwickcook8413 When Woody Allen laughs, it's really genuine because rarely happens and the joke would be really funny 😁
Just freakin love Woody! Lol
@Bob Eagle why you watching this video if you’re ‘bothered’ by Woody’s personal life and his allegations?
I'm 53 and I don't think I've ever seen anyone make Woody Allen laugh like Dick Cavett did at the end of this clip.

His anxiety is so cute. 😍 You can see his heavy breathing by looking at his chest.
50 years! Incredible...
two big legends
1:45 Fire Island is an island that gay men frequented. It was hugely popular before the AIDS crisis in the 1980’s.
Interesting to see a seemingly genuine, unguarded burst of laughter from Mr. Allen.
I find him incredibly attractive in this.
So did his adopted daughter
@@robertarnold9676 Soon-Yi’s adopted father is Andre Previn.
@@sickboy1931 well her adopted step dad. Is that better for your perverted self?
@@robertarnold9676 nope. He was not her step dad either. Woody and Mia were never married. They didn’t even live together. You could have checked those facts on wikipedia before commenting, you know.
The man is a wonder.
Woody playing cello in a marching band. Genius.
Take the Money is Woody's "Spinal Tap"
"Play it again Sam" is his funniest
Meh... Love And Death
The blind date scene was hilarious!
@@goldendusty1951 truly hilarious! When he shows her how to eat rice by shoveling it in!...the whole scene from start is epic! Playing with his track medal,and when she says oh a bourbon man,he’s like I’m putting away a quart a day!

@@kathleenclark5877 it’s great but not as consistently funny as Sam
love love love you....from MICHAEL IN UK
The other guest is John Hartford
He is so funny.
The Fire Island jokes never get old.
Can someone translate for non U.S. folks?
@@one4320 It's a very gay part of New York, so whenever it's mentioned, people immediately go to that. And then all the "crevice" jokes 😁
It was gay even in 1970?

Wow...kudos to Cavett making Allen laugh at the end. Looked like he was trying to keep his composure throughout but finally lost it 😅
At the very last joke, Woody laughs twice, as if he figures out something else funny about it.
"Two heavy weights, Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman" was a hilarious line by Cavett that caught
Woody off-guard and tickled his funnybone!
I like how he casually says "stick your hands up otherwise I'll have to shoot you." LOL
Genial sequence😀😎😇😍
It looks like woody has a great big hole in the bottom of his shoe.. 0.58-1.06
Have any of the producers of "Archer" seen this? I just got an idea where Pam Poovey meets Woody Allen ca 1969.
Fire Island was a major gay hangout.
He and Cavett have practically the same birthday, Dec. 1935. Separated at birth lol
they were born a year apart actually, with woody being the older one
@@donkeyboy2678 But they have been very close as I've read in Woody's book.
@@teveve31 thats cool
Whenever Woody Allen moves his mouth he looks like a carp out of water.
"Stimulate my dandruff" LOL
Woody,woody, woody at his peak 😅😅😅
Very funny, though I'd love to have seen Joe Frazier.
Long live democratic socialism and freedom
Nice sneakers...
1:01 was it part of the funny thing on the bottom of the tennis shoes
🍎™ 😊👌
My favourite jew
Is that a secret compartment in the sole of Woody's shoe?
1:01 there's a hole in the button of shoes , what brand were they ????
They're Converse Jack Purcell's, it's not a hole, it's a cutaway in the sole with the brand name on that provides an air gap for extra grip. I've worn J.P's all my life. Greatest shoe ever!
@@AnthonyMonaghan thank you very much for your time
@@AnthonyMonaghan you don't know how much you have just helped me
He's deliberately working his shoe into segment for that to be noticed looks like.
@@sampleoffers1978 Yeah, I believe he wanted to make a joke about it, but Dick didn´t see that cutaway so he didn´t say anything. They should have coordinated that.
His movies are great!7:30,a little "SLIP"!.....
Woody Allen never went balder 😂
fucking genius lol
He so high
Who is that other guest? Is that John Hartford?
Yes
1:01 black hole?
what a difference 50 years makes
Hes so yummy
Not anymore.
Marisol Pimentel mhm quite delicious I'd say
i didnt know woody allen was a sex symbol..i mean i do look a bit like him from afar!
He's balding and 5'5. But whatever does it for you haha
LOVING WOODY ALLEN but DISGUSTED BY the 70s sexism of that time UGHHHHH glad to live in 2020
Cry me a River
So true.
I'm sure he's celebrating his appreciation for Mia...er..?
? Stupid comment
@@jamesmack3314 Have you read his recent memoir, Apropos Of Nothing? If so you'd have a clue as to my comment.
@@wehaveasituation He wasn´t seeing Mia at those days. He was seeing an actress, then Diane Keaton came and after her, Mia.
Does anyone think Woody Allen. Be full of himself
Everyone here is talking word shit.
POS.
Dick Cavett could hardly match wits with Woody Allen
He was creepy even back then.
Wow, I love Woody but this is a lot of weak misogyny. And the audience seemed drunk.
It isn't misogyny though. You can make fun of women without hating them.
@@pappy374 He's going on about fat chicks. He's the best comedy writer in the world. He's done better.
@@pappy374 I'm sure some feminist somewhere might argue that he in fact did not "love fat chicks" like he said, before going into minute and deliberately disgusting detail about what he loves. The joke is who'd love fat chicks? Low hanging would be a Nixon Joke.
@@Jantonov1 Loads of people love fats chicks, but making fun of them has always been a cheap laugh for comedians.
I disagree with the drunk, condescending snowflake's weak misandry that it's weak misogyny and the audience is drunk.
