Lily Tomlin famously walked off The Dick Cavett Show after fellow guest Chad Everett made a sexist remark—listing his wife among the animals he “owned” on his farm.
“I have three horses, three dogs… and a wife,” Everett said.
When Cavett questioned the order, Everett doubled down: “She’s the most beautiful animal I own.”
Tomlin stood up, stunned. “You own?” she repeated, before walking across the stage, saying, “I have to leave.”
What followed was pure silence, and some very uncomfortable energy.
Tomlin later reflected, “It was a perfectly pure act… I felt angels walked me off.”
A moment of feminist TV history that still hits.
