In "Adventures in the Screen Trade" William Goldman talks about how reality shows (before there was a name for them) were pitched in the early 80s to studio executives, but the studio executives thought they were so offensive and inhumane that those who pitched them were tossed out of the room. On the other hand, all kinds of horrible unspeakable abuse and exploitation was going on that the culture refused to acknowledge, in entertainment specifically, and to a great degree it still refuses to acknowledge. On the surface everything was just fine and decent, but that was a lie. So maybe that's the trade off. We just have to take the honey booboos and all the other psychic garbage that lines the wastebins of the American mind with everything else. There's no debate that there's infinitely more good television out there now, you just have to want to see it.

In the mid-60's he went on "What's My Line?" and created near total chaos, interrupting often, even skewing his blindfold and giving away the identity of the mystery guest. When Dorothy Kilgallen let a double entendre slip during a question he quipped, "My work here is finished." He was funny enough to offset the annoyance, but many WML fans thought he ruined the show.

Besides, there would hardly have been any other people in the world at the time who could have even gone a single round with Capote on an equal footing (most people were totally intimidated by him) especially if they were pretending to be intellectual, which Groucho was not... ...pretending, that is; he WAS an intellectual comedian of genuine equal rank as an artist with Capote.

@Sudden Arrival Well, of course Marx was a hard-working stage actor/performer, initially probably just to survive -, and a screen actor which back in those days also meant a good deal of actual sweat work, rather than pure brain work. All the same, there are lawyers and modern day scientists and even politicians who might aspire to at least 'some' ability to actually be able to COMMUNICATE verbally... You make a valid point about the arrogance of comedians - that is an aspect of that group. Some much worse than others, much MUCH worse. I have seen other interviews in which Groucho did appear to tend to expose far more academic a style of knowledge and a span of literature than many people would have had even were they to have ever been to Yale!! ...I think he was likely as not, never really practically able to have had any kind of life or career as a literary intellectual, and his comedy was a bit of a smoke screen for who he really was, or perhaps wanted to be at heart. You are of course completely correct, Capote was in a league so rarefied, frankly, that today, he would be utterly dismissed completely, that's how dumbed-down the public has been made - in my view. I simply loved Capote's writing but I didn't think he could ever finish a story and there's my own arrogance on display there!! This video reminds me of a discussion that used to be up on-line but now is not as far as I can tell - between Malcolm Muggeridge and Diana Rigg... Which was simply astonishing.

This is when talk shows had guests on who actually had something to say.

Capote was at his most coherent (vs. other interviews of the era). His comments on writing under the influence of alcohol or drugs were interesting. And his comment on "Answered Prayers" being his "posthumous novel" was foretelling of the mess it made out his life. And in spite of his age, Groucho was a natural as a talk show guest. He was still very sharp at this time, obviously.

Cavett loved Groucho and often said he was his favorite guest.

Herein all reproach Groucho for stepping on T's lines. In fact, T, a true gentlemen, reverentially paid homage to his elders, a genius as much as T was. RIP to all three, each of whom possessed an IQ of almost 200

For people with ANY sense of reality at all: it is sooooooooooo obvious that all three of these very very bright people were enjoying themselves immensely on this program. And Truman was a great sport about it all too. and Groucho almost ALWAYS dominated the time before any camera. he was a ham and a BIG scene stealer.

I'm watching a Woody Allen movie and he makes the Henry James Harry James joke. You can see the influence of Groucho on him.

Groucho’s zaniness - appearing at Wall St - when some bad dip occurred - and singing - for no reason he can remember - “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” !

I didn't get that at all. I grew up in the 1950's and 1960's. Everyone knew TC was single. He was a rock star of authors and got a lot of respect for being an eccentric genius. Groucho was famous for teasing everyone. We all knew that, and so did TC. I can't imagine Groucho being jealous of anyone. He had accomplished a lot in his own right.
