A 2016 Grammy nominee for Best Spoken Word Album Dick Cavett is back, posting his reflections and reminiscences about Hollywood legends, American ethnic symbols, and the absurdities of every day life. In Brief Encounters, the famous talk show number Dick Cavett presents us to the exciting characters who've crossed his course, from Adam Gandolfini and John Lennon to Mel Brooks and Nora Ephron, improving our appreciation of their talent, their personalities, and their places in the pantheon. We label along as Cavett spends a day with Stan Laurel at his modest apartment in Los Angeles, spars with Muhammad Ali at his training camp, and comes to know a Steve Jobs - who woos him to be Apple's first superstar pitchman. He offers piquant commentary on modern politics, the indignities of travel, the type of funny writing, and the utter improbability of being alive whatsoever. On his chat show, Cavett welcomed the key figures from film, music, theater, literature, comedy, sports activities, and politics and engaged them in chat that made viewers believe that the dialogue was taking place in their own living spaces. Jimmy Fallon, the new number of The Tonight Show, has called him "a star and an creativity" and has written a foreword that makes clear your debt that today's chat show hosts owe to Dick Cavett. Brief Encounters opens the door about how Cavett's brain works and what it is like to stay in his world. To spend a few minutes or an hour or even a whole nighttime with Dick Cavett is an experience not to be missed, and now there's no reason to deny yourself. Settle in, and revel in the conversation!
