Well, the good news is that Cavett spends every day knowing that he is nothing but an embarrassingly irrelevant has been whose current career consists of begging his buddy Imus to give him an occasional two minutes of radio time.

He is one of those 'old celebrities' who wander the streets of Manhattan with their heads held high, trying to meet every passer-bys eye in desperate hope that someone will recognize them.

As the few remaining natural habitats of The Fading American "Z"-List Celebrity all eventually fade away into the swirling mists of history -- Graumann's Chinese; The Brown Derby; lower corner left box on The Hollywood Squares -- these strange, fragile creatures, too, will watch helplessly as the candle of their final passing gutters and ebbs and (inevitably) fails altogether.

God willing, I mean. ;)
