Burt Ward and Dick Cavett

Post by waynemanor1960 »

During the early 1970s I recall Burt Ward appearing on Dick Cavett's show. I have never been able to find any footage of the interview. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find this interview?

OMG - Was he interviewed as Robin? That must've been hysterical. I'll check You Tube.

I remember that appearance: They were doing a superhero fashion show. Rob Reiner was the MC and believe it or not, George Carlin participated and came out dressed as Spider-Man carrying a pair of pants; he referred to himself as "The Spider and the Fly." The last one to come out was a surprise: Burt Ward in his Robin costume. After his introduction he ended the segment by saying "Holy Brainwashing, it's time for a commercial." After the commercial break Mike Douglas continued the interview with Burt still in costume. It was a great and totally un-expected surprise.

I recall seeing a Mike Douglas Show intro with Burt Ward in it for a asplit second, and Douglas in a Batman suit sans cowl! Sometime in the 70's, I guess. I haven't found it, but someone put up a TON of Mike Douglas stuff on youtube, and I came across a great segment with Cesar Romero who co-hosted for a week! Looks to be about the time of Batman. He was really exuding his trademark charm.
Next week, the Dynamic Duo meets the Clock King!

That appearance would be a great find; still close to when Batman '66 still had a good cultural hold.
