i just did a show with debbie
reynolds and with carrie fisher
and she said...
>> rose: a television show or...
>> no, a stage show in
california.
but it was like this, and big
audience and it was fun and
she... and when carrie fisher
greeted me she said "hey, fellow
e.c.t. club."
electroconvulsive therapy for
those who just got to this
planet.
>> rose: when you were there...

was intellectual, cavett was...
>> yeah, i offended some people
but i absolutely cringed and
still do today when somebody...
sometimes it was a european who
moved here and would say "you're
the only intellectual on
television" and i'd want to say
"shh!"
because i got that reputation
partly because i didn't know
that you don't to read the guest
books from cover to cover to
talk to them for eight minutes
about it.
