From 1972 to 1974 the Watergate scandal unfolded on THE DICK CAVETT SHOW, as Cavett interviewed nearly every major Watergate figure. Even non-political guests expressed their opinions about Watergate on the show. With exclusive access to the archive of THE DICK CAVETT SHOW, "Dick Cavett's Watergate" documents the scandal in the words of the people who lived it: from the botched burglary at the Democratic National Headquarters; to the must-see TV of the daily Congressional Watergate hearings; to the on-going behind-the-scenes battle between the White House and THE DICK CAVETT SHOW; culminating with the resignation of the President of the United States on August 9, 1974. Dick Cavett's Watergate offers a unique opportunity to mark the 40th anniversary of a defining moment in American history.
