Whatever Happened to Dick Cavett?

Dick Cavett, who turns 89 on November 19, 2025, has had an incredible career in TV. The talk show legend is still alive and well, despite a 2020 stroke — in fact, in 2024, he starred in a music video for a song called “Dick Cavett,” written by New Jersey musician Marc Ribler, that honored his incredible history and legacy. And though he’s no longer a constant presence on the big and small screen, as he was for decades, Cavett’s influence can still be felt.
