You might not think this gentleman appealed to pre-teens during this time, but he had quite the effect on me. His calm rationalization of everything was so settling to a young boy with a crazy home life. He taught me that you could say something profound and smart without yelling. He brought me peace, may he find it now. Thanks Charles.

@rebeccaromanchuk1355 3 года назад

You said that so beautifully and so well, and there have to be many others who feel much the same, and I’m one. Whether he was being serious-serious or funny-serious, he took his time and was so calm and direct, firmly in his reality. He was a great example of how to “be” in the world.

Dick Cavett just seems so pleasant to talk to. Like, here you see him mock a few things, be self effacing, and vent a little sarcastically, but he does it all so gently and nicely.

@narrowgate528 3 года назад

I love he way Charles is interested in what Dick has to say and asks simple, direct questions. He would make a wonderful interviewer. It seems like this came out with Dick as it hasn’t with other interviews of his I’ve seen. Dick had a way of drawing a person out. I miss him. He, along with Johnny Cason are, in my estimation, the best interviewers who ever lived.

@ChristopherSmithNYC 3 года назад

He went on to have his own talk show. It was facinating.

@mitchellhawkes22 3 года назад

You throw Carson and Cavett into the same boat -- but Cavett was the consensus better interviewer. Carson with his emphasis on humor was a better interviewer than many give him credit for. But Cavett was basically the "Alt Interview Show." Cavett stayed on the air for years by basically saying, "Here's how a 'talk' show should be done..."

There is some lady at given moments of Charles' typical humour here when we hear her way in the back laughing her head off.('Are we on?") Even Charles hears her laughing and half remarks her appreciation. ("Going over big back there"). These are magic moments.

"The Incredible Shrinking Woman" with Lily Tomlin was actually a very funny film with amazing practical effects and set design. I still remember watching it as a kid. Another great is "Seems Like Old Times" by Neil Simon with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. His role in "Dave" is perfect. Charles' dry wit was always priceless. He was a very, very funny actor that I will always remember. He may not have realized it but we did. Thank you Charles for making us laugh. ❤️

midnight run // 'u lied to be first, at the river, as far as u knew u lied to me first, at the river. at the time when u lied at the river, u had no knowledge of my lying, so as far as u knew, u lied to me first' Charles said to Robert D // great movie nice upload

@Mr-E. 3 года назад

I had not heard of Charles Grodin, and was sad to see he passed away only a couple weeks ago. I imagine that is why this was uploaded today? I say "sad" because the conversations in these interviews sometimes feel so modern to me, and it is hard for me to imagine it was 40 years ago.

@mitchellhawkes22 3 года назад

The Curious Case of Charles Grodin. An accomplished actor who didn't like the acting gig. Later, a talk show guy who gabbed for years on TV. Two pretty strong careers.

@johnbeechy 3 года назад

5:15 // Charles speaks to the "opportunity Cost". there is only movie to do at a time, choose the one worthy of that time spent upon it, or be paid well enough that your time was well paid for then pray u can make up the time lost over a project that later does not FEEL nor bring a reaffirmation (i have not used that word in months). thanks

Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel.

@stevefowler5970 3 года назад

sounds like Charles is more interested in being a talk show host than an actor; he did become a talk show host about a decade later.

@Gannooch 2 года назад

do 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 all the other Dick Cavett shows.

They're talking about signing skin and now oddly enough with the weird times we live in the glass skin look is what they're pushing ... the " beauty " and dermatology industries ... anything to keep you spending your money

@dougie1968 2 года назад

I always thought the hazard of being an actor is they dilute their own personal character by playing too many others, fictional or factual. They spend so much time on those characters they stick to their own. The actor ends up having an heterogeneous personality.

So how can we be surprised there are people who cannot appreciate a performer like Charles Grodin?
