📺This is one of the most famous walk-offs in talk-show history.

This is great. Dick Cavett is such a gentleman and handles this with such class. THIS IS A MUST-WATCH... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In 1970, Georgia Governor Lester Maddox appeared on The Dick Cavett Show. The conversation turned to his segregationist record and civil rights, and the exchange grew increasingly tense. After Cavett pressed him on his own language and policies, Maddox demanded an apology, didn’t get one, and walked off the set.

It’s a raw piece of live television from a very polarized moment in American politics.

❓Do you think hosts today would handle a guest like this the same way Cavett did? 👇

“Hollywood Steps Out” (1941) ― Merrie Melodies Cartoon.

“Hollywood Steps Out” is a 1941 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Tex Avery and produced by Leon Schlesinger. The cartoon features caricatures of over forty contemporary Hollywood celebrities (along with guest appearances).

PLOT
A group of “caricatured” Hollywood stars is having an expensive dinner at Ciro's nightclub in West Hollywood. The first stars seen are Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, Adolphe Menjou and Norma Shearer. Greta Garbo, working as a cigarette girl, sells a pack to Cary Grant, then lights his cigarette by striking a match on her very large foot.

Edward G. Robinson asks Ann Sheridan “How's the Oomph girl tonight?”. Sheridan responds by uttering the word “oomph” several times.

Warner Bros. staffers Henry Binder and Leon Schlesinger are shown. A seat is reserved for Bette Davis, as is an extra-wide sofa for Kate Smith. More seats are reserved for the characters of the Blondie films, including a fire hydrant for Daisy the dog.

In the cloakroom, Johnny Weissmuller checks a coat with Paulette Goddard that reveals his Tarzan outfit. Sally Rand leaves her trademark feather fans behind and is presumably naked.

James Cagney prepares Humphrey Bogart and George Raft for a risky task: pitching pennies.

Harpo Marx gives Garbo a hot foot, who reacts with a weary “Ouch”. Clark Gable turns his head around 180 degrees to observe a blonde girl, whom he follows offscreen.

Bing Crosby introduces the evening's entertainment, interrupted frequently by a racehorse with an apparently unconscious jockey. Crosby presents conductor Leopold Stokowski, who wears a snood before performing “Ahí, viene la conga” (also known as “Here comes the conga” in English).

The conga inspires Dorothy Lamour to invite James Stewart to dance with her, who stutters, stammers, and runs away scared. Gable dances by, following the girl he saw earlier. Tyrone Power dances with Sonja Henie. Frankenstein's monster dances stiffly and woodenly. The Three Stooges abuse each other in rhythm to the beat. Oliver Hardy's dance partner is revealed to be twin blonde women initially hidden by his obese frame. Cesar Romero dances clumsily with Rita Hayworth. Mickey Rooney, sitting with Judy Garland, is presented with an expensive bill, who turns to ask his Andy Hardy movie father (Lewis Stone) for a heart-to-heart talk. In the next scene, they are seen washing dishes. Gable is still pursuing the girl.

Crosby then introduces Sally Rand (identified as “Sally Strand”), performing a bubble dance to “I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles”, as the camera cuts between the men's reactions and her dancing. Spectators at various tables include:

Kay Kyser, William Powell, Spencer Tracy, Ronald Colman, Errol Flynn, Wallace Beery, and C. Aubrey Smith, who wolf-whistle in unison (by saying “Baby!”), Peter Lorre, Henry Fonda, whose “mother” pulls him away by his ear (in its reference to The Aldrich Family), J. Edgar Hoover, Boris Karloff, Arthur Treacher, Buster Keaton, and Mischa Auer, asked by Ned Sparks if they are having a good time, and Jerry Colonna, who reveals an invisible character next to him called “Yehudi”.

Now that Strand is standing still on the stage, this allows Harpo Marx an opportunity to shoot her bubble with a slingshot. The bubble explodes on impact, and she reacts with shock, as it reveals she is wearing a barrel, held up by suspenders.

Meanwhile, Gable has finally caught up to the girl he was chasing and insists she kiss him. The girl turns out to be Groucho Marx in drag.

CAST
Kent Rogers as James Cagney, Cary Grant, Edward G. Robinson, Clark Gable, Ned Sparks, Peter Lorre, Groucho Marx, Mickey Rooney, James Stewart, J. Edgar Hoover, Henry Fonda, Bing Crosby, Kay Kyser, and Lewis Stone.

Rep. Lieu obliterates a snide UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, then calls for his resignation

Ted Lieu just put on a masterclass in how to grill an unprepared and evasive witness, beginning by asking Waltz how many US troops have been injured fighting Iran, then closing the trap when Waltz got the answer wrong

"It's not surprising to me you didn't know the answer to that. The reason you are here today is because you were fired by the president from your former position as National Security Adviser. You disclosed classified information that harmed American pilots and put them at risk!"

After Waltz suggested that some US casualties don't really count because the troops died in a plane crash, Lieu exploded on him: "You don't even know how many US troops were wounded in this Iran War! Shame on you! You are the US ambassador and you don't even know how many US troops are wounded! You should be ashamed! You should resign!"

Here's the full exchange:

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout

Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.

After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."

A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"

Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.

Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

Marlon Brando once told Dick Cavett that everyone on Earth is an actor.

Then he proved it, live on air, by dissecting Cavett himself.

It remains one of the most disarming exchanges in talk show history.

Cavett opened by pressing Brando on something he had read for years: that Brando considered acting "not a fit profession for a man." Brando deflected at first. "We can't believe the press; I don't know what we can believe in this country."

But then, in his words, "in an effort to help your ratings," Brando laid out his real view of acting:

"I think that we couldn't survive a second if we weren't able to act; acting is a survival mechanism, a social lubricant, and we act to save our lives every day."

People lie constantly, he explained. By not saying what they think. By showing something they don't feel. By trying to give the appearance of feeling something they don't actually feel.

Cavett pushed back: "But that's not acting."

Brando disagreed:

"That is acting. When you're nervous or frightened in this chair, or distressed and angry, you know that is not what is necessary to be shown here, so you control your face. You're a highly controlled person and you have to do that."

Cavett argued there had to be gradations. He was motivated in the moment, but he couldn't wake up the next morning and repeat that same performance on command, take after take. Surely that skill, the thing Brando did better than almost anybody, was something different.

Brando refused the compliment. He pointed to the office worker who hates his boss but performs enthusiasm for his "impossible notions" day after day to keep his job.

Cavett countered that delivering the same line six times, getting "something deeper into it time after time," takes an actor. Everyday performances are one-time things with immediate motivation.

"No, they're not one-time things because it's a daily procedure," Brando replied. "The dialogue changes but the motivation doesn't."

Then came the moment the interview is remembered for. Brando turned the lens directly on his host:

"Right now, you're thinking of 60 things at once: 'Is it getting dull? Is he upset? Is he bored? Is he offended? Here's a good time for a joke.' You're doing this editing at an insane rate with a demeanor of levity and zest, and that finally isn't what goes on in your mind or feelings at all."

Cavett's response said everything:

"I just feel like all my clothes have been taken off."

Brando softened it. "I couldn't do what you do, and that's a different kind of acting; you're playing a different kind of role."

Cavett tried one final test. He handed Brando a commercial script and challenged him to read it, any way he wanted. Brando refused flatly: "No, I won't do it."

Cavett's closing line: "I'm glad you didn't. The man's incorruptible, and that's what I hoped."

A home theater installer walked into his friend's apartment, looked at his $1,500 Samsung TV for 5 seconds, and said:

"You have never actually seen what this TV can do."

He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes. The picture looked like a different television.

Here is every setting he changed: 🧵

Richard Feynman stood at a Cornell blackboard in 1964 and explained the problem every AI lab is fighting in 2026. The BBC filmed it. Almost nobody watches it.

The lecture is about why nature only answers in mathematics. Every team forcing language models to reason is hitting the wall he mapped 62 years ago.

He was 46. The Nobel Prize came 11 months later. The footage survived on film reels and now sits free on YouTube with fewer views than a keyboard unboxing.

Watch the blackboard section near the middle. He takes 1 of Kepler's laws and rebuilds it from nothing, with notation a 12-year-old can follow.

No slides. No jargon. 1 piece of chalk.

An ML engineer I know paused it 4 times and made his whole team watch it before standup.

You're 62 years late. The lecture is still free.
