Great Moments In Television

The Guest From Hell -- Savoring Norman Mailer's legendary appearance on The Dick Cavett Show
Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal Feud on the Dick Cavett Show (1971)
quote:
the 1971 Dick Cavett Show appearance in which Vidal and rival novelist Norman Mailer engaged in a quarrel so heated and uncomfortable that it puts the staged squabbles of modern-day reality shows to shame.
The altercation, which Slate television critic Troy Patterson detailed in 2007, got its start off-camera when Mailer head-butted Vidal in the green room. But the physical violence between the public intellectuals had nothing on the rhetorical violence; Mailer went on to announce in front of host Cavett, journalist Janet Flanner, and a live studio audience that Vidal was “absolutely without character or moral foundation or even intellectual substance."
