Over the years, Dick Cavett has hosted his show on six networks.

But I digress. <\/p>\n<p>Here, Cavett\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guest was Oscar Peterson (1925-2007). The first video recently showed up on the web and has been seen by few viewers. It is of marginal video quality but acceptable in the audio department. It has the standard promotional sildes with which Pedro Mendes starts and ends all of the videos he puts up. But who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s complaining; he puts them up. The second clip&#151;crisp and clear&#151;is a <em>YouTube<\/em> hit seen by more than 140,000 surfers. It continues the conversation.
