A Great Dick Cavett Show On Decades Tonight With Don Rickles And Other Great Guests

No World Series game, a bad football game, who cares as there is an incredibly great Dick Cavett Show, airing on Decades tonight at 8 P.M. Eastern time, to be repeated at 2 A.M.

The show is highlighted by Don Rickles, not the “pure kryptonite, sans the lead pipe,” one might hear in a nightclub, but non stop and truly priceless.

The great opera star, Beverly Sills, columnist Earl Wilson and actress Lucy Kirk all tremendous, were on the show as well.

I am so grateful to Decades for airing these type shows, I can forgive their rather poor efforts in sports, including Kerry Sayers saying Mickey Mantle played 17 seasons when he played “chai”/18 seasons.

There is a Rickles joke there but I will not attempt it. Watch the show. I laughed and that is a testimony to Rickles.

One of the best, if not the best, stand up comedians ever, the great Don Rickles pictured above.
