What? Laurel and Hardy showed up to salute PPB's honoree, Dick Cavett? No, it was just long-time PPB members Chuck McCann and Jim MacGeorge, who amused LA TV audiences for years with their famous Laurel and Hardy AMCO windshield wiper commercials. (David Keeler photo) |
At each PPB Celebrity Luncheon, Ralph Edwards Productions sponsors a table for aspiring broadcasting students from area colleges and universities.

LA morning drive KOST radio personality and PPB Board member Mark Wallengren takes advantage of his opportunity to capture a selfie with Dick Cavett before PPB's celebrity luncheon for Cavett. One would guess that the product of this endeavor will end up on the KOST Website. (David Keeler photo) |
On short notice when Larry King developed a scheduling conflict, PPB President Chuck Street led a conversation with Dick Cavett that delighted the more than 300 luncheon guests. Answering Chuck's well-researched questions, Cavett told of his famous Watergate scandal reporting, his relationships with Jack Paar and Johnny Carson, how he persuaded Katharine Hepburn to be interviewed by him, and his many humorous dealings with a plethora of famous people. He even revealed what Jack Benny told him that he would like to say to people who asked him stupid questions. It was a most entertaining program. (Don King photo) |
Dick Cavett autographed his book for President Street, and then stayed after the luncheon to autograph copies for attendees who purchased them in the lobby. Cavett pointed out that many of his writings and TV interviews, including his Watergate coverage, are now available on You Tube. (David Keeler photo) |
