[edit] University of Nebraska-Lincoln

I noticed that Mr. Cavett does the University of Nebraska promotional commercials during the UN games. What connection does he have to the school? Has he contributed to the perfroming arts department with either money or time? WikiDon 18:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

This comment did not make sense:

The show didn't often do well with younger viewers, but (as was the case with every other talkshow in this timeslot from 1962 - 1992) was crushed in the ratings by The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

It says that the show did NOT do well with younger viewers, BUT was crushed by Carson?

Actually, it was my understanding that it DID do well with younger viewers. In any case, I reworded it.

Any info on the Turner Classic Movies shows? Saw one with Mel Brooks, didn't know how many others he was planning on doing Exoterrick 19:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First on-stage death

Should this incident be added?

Not here, as this article is about Cavett himself, not his show. The death already is mentioned in the other article, though not as the "first" of anything. Richard K. Carson 08:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, that says it, in a nutshell. You lot are editors, the ones of you lot that are Wikipedia editors. We want credibility, yes, but we don't need no stinkin' badges! You have to wrestle with that I think. You are not Encyclo-Brit editors, right? We want credibility, we need credibility, but we don' need no stinkin' badges.

Why the excursion? Because, as a typical profile of a celebrity, there's nothing wrong with this Eintrag. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.202.44.80 (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
