Woodstock Comedy Festival: Late Night Comedy Writing
DICK CAVETT is a three-time Emmy winner and host of "The Dick Cavett Show" late-night on ABC, on PBS, the USA network and on CNBC. His shows were hailed for their wide variety of guests, its frequent controversy, and Cavett's ability to attract "ungettable" guests. His most recent book, "TALK SHOW" is a collection of his blogs written for his online New York Times column of the same name.
RICK OVERTON says he's "been doing standup comedy since before there were lockable steering columns on cars. Seriously." He also says he "believes that Comedy shares its roots with Country Western and The Blues because they're all just complaining to a rhythm." The Emmy-award winning comedy veteran has appeared on HBO, Showtime and in many roles including the Drake on Seinfeld and Pam's Dad on The Office. His credits include: The League, The Kroll Show, the Green Room with Robert Klein and Jonathan Winters, Groundhog Day, Soderberg's The Informant, Bad Teacher, Adult Swim's Children's Hospital, and ABC's Last Man Standing.
