Don't Worry, Alfred Hitchcock Once Met James Brown (and Someone Filmed It)
Alfred Hitchcock racked up a few amazing TV appearances during his lifetime, including guest-spots on The Dick Cavett Show and Tom Snyder's Tomorrow, but his weirdest was as a panelist on the old Mike Douglas Show alongside James Brown. Watch the Master of Suspense sit across from The Hardest Working Man in Show Business and field questions about his movie "Homicidal" (err, Mr. Brown meant Psycho).
Of course, Hitch can handle any conversational curveball with corpse-dry humor. Hell, he handled Marlene Dietrich and Tallulah Bankhead, didn't he?

"In the picture Homicidal..." - Classic!
Is that Joan Rivers seated next to the Godfather of Soul? Could that guest list be any more random?
And who's the stooped over blond dude next to Hitch? Looks like John Updike with a Beatles wig.
It's Rod McKuen.
Hitchcock and Brown. Who would have thought that? Funny.
Looks a bit like Richard Harris?
