I don't know if he had any other roles but he sure was funny in this one!
"Deela, you are a flake. If you insist on scaring people, do it with your sculpture."
A great line.
Cavett is credited with 31 roles on IMDb. A number of them is him playing himself but there's a few notable roles where he plays other characters.
I have not seen much with him. But he was funny in this. I liked him calling Dealia a flake.
shareI sometimes wish they could have had Rick Moranis, as DC, interviewing Cavett for real.
That sketch on SCTV is brilliant.
I only saw him in clips from his late night show on youtube, so his cameo was a nice surprise.
shareIt was nice to see Cavett. I like him better as a talk show host though. Back in the day, he was similar in style to Carson, and coincidentally, they had other things in common. Both had a Midwestern upbringing and are big fans of magic and amateur performers themselves.
shareCavett started as an actor before he was a talk show host, and appeared in stage productions in college and elsewhere.
