can still picture the exact moment and location in New York City when he first met the man who would become one of his most cherished pals. It was 1961 and Cavett, then a 25-year-old writer for Jack Parr on after they both attended the funeral for playwright George S. Kaufman.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Marx, then 70, invited Cavett to lunch at The Plaza Hotel. “There I was, a dream I never even dared to have, sitting in a booth in the Oak Room with Groucho Marks.” “The only person who was on more often than Groucho was someone named Muhammad Ali,” recalled Cavett of Marx’s talk show visits. “I don’t think he ever came on to plug anything. It was just a typical talk show appearance in which we talked about whatever we wanted to talk about.”
