This week join host Tim Carpenter as he talks with author and talk show host Dick Cavett, then with film director Tom Shadyac.

DICK CAVETT – Dick Cavett was the host of The Dick Cavett Show from 1968 to 1982 on  ABC and PBS. He also hosted talk shows on the USA, HBO and CNBC cable  networks. He is the co-author of Cavett and Eye on Cavett and since 2007 has written an online opinion column for The New York Times. His new book, Talk Show,  is “a collection of rambling though piquant essays from his New York   Times online column. It’s an eclectic and sometimes surprising lineup:   on- and off-set celebrity anecdotes; meditations on the art of the   comic insult; jaundiced assessments of the 2008 presidential contenders;   not one but two apologias for radio DJ Don Imus; scenes from a  Nebraska  boyhood, with minor hooliganism and encounters with a  movie-house  pervert.” For more information on Dick Cavett, click here.

TOM SHADYAC – Tom is best known for directing blockbuster comedy films such as “Ace  Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” and “Bruce Almighty.” After a cycling accident  left him incapacitated for what experts thought might be the rest of his  life, he ultimately recovered and emerged a changed man. Disillusioned  with life on Hollywood’s A-list, he sold his house, moved to a mobile  home community, and decided to start life anew. His new film “I Am,” is a  probing exploration of our world, what’s wrong with it, and what we can  do to make it better. For more information, click here.
