Legendary late night host, comedian and writer Dick Cavett receives the Writers Guild of America, East’s 2022 Evelyn F. Burkey Award from primetime Emmy-winning comedian, writer, and late night host Seth Meyers (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Saturday Night Live).

The Evelyn F. Burkey Award was established in 1978 to honor Burkey, who dedicated her professional life to supporting and helping writers. Burkey helped create the Writers Guild of America, East, in 1954 as the union of film, television and radio writers, independent of precursor organizations. She was the WGAE’s executive director until her retirement in 1972.

The Burkey Award continues her mission by recognizing a person or an organization “whose contributions have brought honor and dignity to writers everywhere.” Previous recipients include James Schamus, Edward Albee, Walter Bernstein, Joan Didion, Claire Labine, Walter Cronkite, Arthur Miller, Sidney Lumet, and Martin Scorsese.
