Teams of students from colleges and universities around the nation com pete until the finals on Dec. 20. The show premiered on Mutual Radio in 1953 and has been a television series off and on since 1959. There’s been no regularly broadcast series, though, since CBS Radio carried it for three years ending in 1982, though Pat Sajak was host of a 30th-anniversary special in 1984. “I remember watching it faithfully when I was still at home in Nebraska,” said Cavett. “It came on about the same time as Super Circus, Mary Hartline and You Asked for It. “It’s hard not to watch the show, even the ones I’ve hosted. I showed a tape to some friends. We all had somewhere to go, but everyone stayed to the end.” The new series is produced by Richard Reid, whose father, Don Reid, was the creator and original produc er. “This is the NCAA of academia,” Reid said. “The competitions run all ear on the college campuses.

Many citizens living during that time turned to debauch ery, believing that since they would die soon anyway they should enjoy their remaining time on earth, Man full explained. The contrast between the humor of the play and the horror of the times creates an unbalancing situation that makes the audience laugh and that is what Barnes was striving for, Man full said. - Holly T.G Tonight” “When horrible things are happen ing, you just don’t lie down and say ‘Oh God, horrible things are happe ning, ’’she said. “You pull yourself up by the bootstraps and go on.” where they’re competing for the national title, it gets very serious. They’re competing for scholarships and pride.” Reid said efforts to sell the show in recent years usually drew the same reactions from everyone. “Peo ple always said it was one of their favorite shows, but they didn t think it would go now,” he said. “It was a show you did just once a week, and they were looking for daily strip shows. It wasn’t until I met with the people at Disney that I got a positive reaction. When we started looking for a host, a lot of names came up. Then Dick s name was mentioned and everyone said yes.” Cavett, a three-time Emmy winner, began as a standup comic and a writer for Jack Paar, Groucho Marx, Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin. In 1968, he got his own morning show on ABC. Next, the show went late-night and ran until 1975. He was host of a talk show on public television from 1977 to ’B2. In 1985, USA Network revived The Dick Cavett Show. ABC gave it a brief run twice a week in 1986, but couldn’t compete against the proliferation of syndicated, late-night shows. “I have such respect for game show hosts now,” Cavett said. “Just the mechanics of it is so tough. Go to the blue card, go to the orange card. Once, I read off the answer, too.” Both Reid and Cavett commented on the amazing breadth of knowledge of the students. Cavett is also host of The Comedy Show, a 2-hour syndicated radio show that presents the best of comedy from the past and present. $1 off any large pizza.
