"You are paid to make fun of power at SNL." They didn't make much fun of Obama. Rarely make fun of the Democrats. The show has gone from comedy to propaganda.
"Trump's inner and outer thoughts always seem together; Clitory's inner and outer voices, however, have never even had a cup of COFFEE!!" Great stuff, Dennis!!
So what's better an honest incoherent thought from the mouth of someone who obviously has no clue what he's talking about? Or a typical politician who may speak eloquently but still out of the side of her mouth?
There are more left-wing members of the Democrats now. but the middle of the party (the majority of it's membership) has stayed exactly where it's been for decades. The GOP have obviously got their equivalent hard-right to the DNC's hard-left, but the middle of the GOP, the heart of it's membership, has drifted to the right since the 80's. The DNC still has plenty of moderates, the fact that you could actually count the more left-wing people on one hand proves it, and 2 or 3 lefties doesn't change the identity of a party. The GOP doesn't have moderates any more. You have centrists who might be socially liberal and fiscally conservative, sure, but again, not many. The great majority of the GOP are extreme in their ideology, and their senate leader, Mitch McConnell, is determined to grind democracy to a halt just so he gets his way. The idea that the DNC has become more extreme is facile and false, especially when they're headed by Pelosi and Schumer, the epitome of weak liberalism, and their lack of opposition is why the GOP and Trump are getting away with their roughshod ride across democratic norms. Countering selfish, corporate self-interest will require the DNC to ACTUALLY go to the left, at which point people who just want things to stay the exact same forever because they're benefiting can moan. As it is, the fact that people want rights that are denied to them by a government that is determined to cave in to the wants of corporations, or worse, actual fascists, is hardly an insane move, it's a logical reaction to a right-wing growing in power despite not being backed by the majority of the country.
@@Halokon All nice and well but how the left treats Tulsi Gabbard which is like crap and she is a moderate to center-left presidentisl candidate does not bode well for your arguements. I think the left has gone far lefter than they were in 1976. JFK would not win today the nomination.
@@Halokon Well, that's your opinion but I think most of us look at the dems and the hard lefties in the DNC as the tail wagging the dog. The hard left is the tail and the squeaky wheel gets the oil because it's the hard left in the DNC that speaks the loudest. No counter argument or position is listened to by the far left dems....debate isn't allowed. And if it's even attempted it's shouted down with labels of "racism", "sexism" etc.....even when it in no way applies. It's actually the far left that have become the "fascists"....it's their way only. What rights "specifically" are denied to people by the gov't???? Specifically....what?
I have developed a newfound respect for DennisMiller. Seems like he's had a personality transplant from the one I remember from days of yore. that makes me happy.
he's basically 'past tense', but his first four HBO comedy specials ('88-'92) were in my opinion, the stuff of legend. A very articulate, educated schtick back then. No one could touch his style.
Earth to Gary Walker....come back to sanity, Gary. Pseudo-intellectual who takes himself way too seriously. Can't make a living except to pander to aged audiences with one foot in the grave and one caught in the bear-trap of delusion.
daulton gordon very thoughtful response. I’m pragmatic about leaders. If they can get things done then I’m willing to overlook their flaws. Miller is exactly the same in this regard. He saw Hillary as a disaster. Trump was the only sensible option.
Trump is garbage! Nothing to do with politics-He is a patholological liar, crook,-an obnoxious narcissist, and has no business being in any job of authority!
He always goes for such an obscure reference, and I love it. I remember a standup routine when he made fun of himself saying that his obscure reference was like grabbing for a tit too early in a relationship. Hysterical!
All you political zealots should try having an opinion of your own every now and then. It's scary at first, but eventually you get your sea legs and can stop parroting the sanctioned opinions of your political party of choice. You might eventually find you have an actual personality of your own too, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
I've heard a couple versions of that Sinatra story before form various comedians etc. Every version is the best thing I've ever heard. You don't tell Sinatra to get lost in those days and not end up face down in a ditch in the country... Unless you're Don Rickles lol.
"You dont know what you got 'til its gone" 75% behind the wheel job, Had Rush Limbaugh 9 to noon, Dennis Miller noon to 3, And Bryan Suites 3 to 6. Once upon a time. Still have Rush, thank God.
Dennis has never lost his objectivity! He's brutally honest & truthful! He doesn't follow the sheep because he's stays situationally aware, where most dont! As far as Larry King? I was born in '61. Larry was a constant cnn staple, just as Barbara Walters. I remember when he had a much younger Donald Trump on his show. Within the first minute or so, Trump commented about how foul Larry's breathe was. Many found this to be offending to say? But even then? Trump wasn't political correct! He didn't smoke, drink or use drugs. At that time? Larry was a chain smoking maniac! And I'm certain his breath reeked like putrid decomposition or rotting garbage! So whom was really offending here? If someone's halitosis was that bad & very distracting? Wouldn't you ask them if they could realize such a funky stench? People has their own point of veiws? But many tend to shroud that in such politically correct situations? Why suppress them in such situations? It creates a mass confusion of false narratives! I'm not saying if your boss at work is obese, to tell him your honest opinion that's he's a fat bastard? Or anything relative to that? I'm just saying, Trump tells you what's going on if you're to cowardly to say it yourself! He's the best thing we needed to shake up these political shills in positions of trust they abuse! The msm is fake as hell too! That's where we'd assume where there'd be some truth? The truth is what's biased & hypocritical or opinionated isn't exactly "the truth"! Sometimes the truth is ugly! So if it is, why not give it as that without sugar-coating it as "okay"? A life saver or breath mint would've sufficed? If you're doing one on one interview? But I can only guess that none of the crew, make up peeps, etc didn't have the balls to mention such a thing to King Larry himself? No pun intended! He wasn't the respectful one to his own guest! It's like unleashing a horrible fart and expecting the whole room to tolerate that stink! Lmao! I'm not insulting Larry by any means! I watched him for decades! I'm just saying? Snowflakes & libtards expect more then just tolerance! They expect everyone to tolerate untolerables as these?
Mark Johnson Evidently, you're impressed by faux-intellectuals. By the way, 'sardonia' isn't a word. Oh, right: it's an island in the Mediterranean. Or is it the fictional country in 'Duck Soup'? I suppose this pompous fraud is going for the noun back-construction for something sardonic.

If you miss it so much, watch Bill Maher any week to see how it's properly done.
There are so many versions of Rickles/Sanatra jokes that I was really amused at the twist of it being his future father-in-law instead of the blonde in New York. Wow.
I still love Dennis Miller. He is so effing funny when he's not talking politics. He's gone right wing, I respect that. I disagree with his politics but I still love him.
Dennis is just too good. What sets him apart from any other comedian, celebrity, historian, or whatever, is that he is not only well versed in the history of entertainment, but he also understands the significance of it. Go ahead! I challenge you. Name any other comedian who can equal him on that level. I know I can't. I'm also glad he's friends with Leno, because I always felt Leno got a bad rap.
@@Tesla_Death_Ray Dennis Miller is able to do current material but where he is best is when he ties in references to historical people or events that are a PERFECT comparison to the current event, showing that it has all been done before. Dude is a wealth of knowledge and his wit is as fast as they get. Most comics can not compare to Miller because they basically just memorize fart and dick jokes but they are not fast on their feet. If you want to see if someone has "it" cosmetically, just get them in a room with other people as see if he can be funny on the fly. Nobody can compete with miller in that regard.
@@nickdipaolofan5948: I'm a Rogan Fan. The thing about Miller's comedy is that the references don't add anything to the jokes. They all just prove the same point, Dennis is a dick. His analogies aren't funny. He just says a name and/or movie title, people recognize one or both and assume it's comedy. They don't make sense and not in a funny absurd way.
Larry King: Don Rickles actually said 'Shit'? I've never known Don Rickles to swear in 58 years. Larry two minutes later: During a prank in a restaurant, 'Rickles tells Sinatra "Get the fuck out of here; This is business"
What he said was he never heard him swear on stage or on T.V., the story about Rickles was a private setting. That was a hell of funny story I thought and fit into who Don was.
6:54 -- That story Dennis tells of Mara Corday befriending Clint and then acting alongside him in later as the waitress - it all checks out! Clint was an uncredited fighter pilot in TARANTULA (1955) and she was the star; in 1983, Clint was Dirty Harry and she was Loretta the waitress who put too much sugar in his coffee, prompting him to come back into the diner to catch those thieves red-handed, which spawned the line, "Go ahead - make my day!" Life.
Yeah, the same platform that demonetises any LGBT content but says that Steven Crowder is fine to be monetised provided he doesn't link to his "Socialism is for f*gs" shirt is skewing hard left... Big Data and Big Tech etc are not hard left, in the slightest. They may want to look like they care about minorities, which for some reason the right has decided is a bad thing (despite various right-wingers espousing social liberalism), but they don't actually care, they just don't want their income affected. If they were really left wing (let alone hard left), they'd be happy to advance left-wing causes, would desire strong unions and would pay their taxes. But they don't, because they are capitalist entities, and as such, only truly care about profits. They happily host actual Nazis (not a hyperbolic descriptor for right wing people, I mean Swastikas, calls for genocide etc.) provided they cloak it in a gossamer thin veil and they bring profits. They may occasionally ban people who let the mask slip too much, but not because they disagree with it (nor agree, they just don't care) but because the possible backlash for hosting Nazis could hurt their profits. And none of that is left wing, at all. That's capitalism. And arguably right-wing, but it's sort of it's own thing, profit at any cost.
Dennis says he doesn't watch SNL because it's a "young person's show" and he doesn't stay up that late. I'm not much younger than he is and I watch it every week any time I want through the miracle of streaming on Hulu and UA-cam. Lol!
@Trane Sonic About the level of intelligent discussion I would expect from you lot. Hashtags and idiocy, have anything of substance or worth to add? Didn't think so.
Sshooter444 so 15-25 or more people here make a comment you don’t like and you translate that to all liberals are troubled in their beliefs. So with that logic I hope you don’t throw your gun and all the bullets away when it doesn’t fire once.
Good explanation. I wonder where I fall. I am socially liberal but also patriotic and moderately conservative. I can't relate to the PC culture but I can have compassion and empathy for minorities and folks that want to come to the US for a better life. I seem to get along with both the Right and Left...but not really the extreme Right or Left.
@@Ironclad6661 this could be the time for a third party to challenge the hegemony - in 2024, after Trump's inpending victory/ 2 nd term. Hillary's accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian mole/ operative, poised to take over with her Russian troll- bots to win with the third party.😂 Crazy,baseless accusations- perhaps more indicative of Mrs Clinton's fears and jealousies than actual facts👹. And the extreme Left is fragmenting the Democratic Party, the impeachent efforts are failing, and Joe Biden is going to be knocked out of the race by the fallout around his son/ Ukraine deal. 2024 is when a third-party has a chance to win the presidentcy.
@@Ironclad6661 I think a lot of Americans feel/believe as you do. But anyone who is even perceived as being even moderately conservative is couched as a "racist" or "sexist" etc...or what ever other "ist" or guilty of some sort of "ism" by the left. The left speaks for the dems today and no other opinion is allowed. I feel for people who want to come here for a better life, but I also believe in the rule of law. You don't get to come here just because you want to., no more than someone can move into YOUR house because they like it better....and you objecting doesn't make you a racist...it makes you a realist..
Actually Miller is recalling what Rickles said upon meeting him wrong... when Rickles came out, Miller immediately complimented him on his brilliant comedic timing, to which Rickles coldly responded, "Fine." Miller did fall out of his chair laughing... it's up on youtube. Hysterical.
It's good being socially liberal, and economically conservative. It's the best way to balance it. Combined with being someone that follows the philosophies of a Constitutional Democratic Republic creates a balanced human being, who doesn't stray too far to the left, or too far to the right.
For a man of references, all Dennis needs to do to counter the "You've changed" arguments is to point to Billy Jeff's 1995 State of the Union address, where he talked about how serious of an issue illegal immigration was (and now it's worse). Game over. I'm kind of disappointed that he doesn't employ that one.
Trump is so much easier to make fun of because he basically makes an ass of himself literally every time he opens his mouth. Sometimes all you have to do is quote him. The jokes write themselves.
uncleelmer One of the perks of paying for your entertainment. Crazy concept huh? There was a time when musicians could make a living before people were OWED free music too.
If main stream (news, education, entertainment, music or culture, any of it) told me the sun would rise tomorrow morning I would rush right out and buy all the candles and flashlights I could find.
Firecharge69 that’s his way of having that one up on everyone so we’re supposed to assume that he knows more than everyone else. I do love when he goes off on how nuts Pelosi is😆😆😆
Trust me he doesn’t even get his references… He’s the type a guy that looks up some obscure facts before he goes to a dinner party so he could sound intelligent
I'm with you Dennis, watching the news spin and no justice and the ripping-off of the American people, makes me so angry I have to find a TCM movie to take me back to a less corrupt time.
Larry King always interjects how long he's known somebody. "Don Rickles, I know him 58 years." "Donald Trump, I know him 35 years." "Kim Jung Un, I was in the delivery room when he was born."
Then why doesn't Miller make fun of Republicans? You know, the people in power? The people who had all branches of government under their control? Are they not in power when they control literally the entire government? god damn, when did right wingers turn into such crybaby snowflake whiners?
5 років тому+2
ThwartedVillainy republicans in power? Don’t make me laugh. And he probably doesn’t joke about them because everyone else does. Think he wants to be original unlike almost every other current comedian
What Miller and Seinfeld are forgetting is that college kids never wanted to watch 60 year old comedians. When I was in college in the late 80s there was nobody on campus thinking "I hope we get to see Buddy Hackett or Alan King".
Dennis, by your own definition, you are a Libertarian. You just haven’t thought about it or cared enough to label yourself. You’re an independent free thinker that believes in fiscal prudence, strong defense, firm common sense foreign policy....yet, if two guys or two gals want to marry, you’re fine with that. Like you said, you’re a pragmatist that believes an adult should be free to do drugs if they so choose, but also take personal responsibility for the consequences and NOT burden the taxpayers with their bad decisions. Small government intervention into our lives. Maximum freedom and maximum responsibility. In this we pray oh lord, amen.
Sorry folks but Don's line to Sinatra wasn't "get the fk outta here" he'd never curse at Frank. His line was: " What are you doing, Frank? Can't you see we're eating?"
Again, Larry gets the story wrong concerning Rickles and Sinatra. He was right about it happening in a restaurant. Rickles asked Sinatra to come over to his table because Don wanted to prove to his date that he knew the great one: Sinatra. Sinatra did in deed go over to Rickle’s table and Sinatra said “Don...”. And that’s all he got out before Rickles said” Frank, can’t you see I’m busy.”
Dennis Miller is really really smartly funny....and breaks down politics with comedy way better than Bill Maher. Maher can be funny, maybe it's just cause he's a liberal lol
Dennis is highly intelligent, creative and does not suffer fools gladly which, if you learn anything in life, is just common sense and a waste of time. As you grow older you start to realize that time is precious, limited and should not be wasted, especially on fools.
Everybody's talking about Dennis Miller, but how about a shout out to Larry King? The man is 83 in this clip. Do you think you'll be as good at anything as he is at interviewing when you're 83?
I disagree with Miller's politics but he is articulate and has justification for his opinions. I would point out, however, that he admits to being reclusive and I feel more exposure to the public might make him change his mind on somethings
Love Dennis Miller! What an intelligent and honest man! Way to go Larry for another great interview!
"That cat was shakier than Catherine Hepburn's head in a helicopter..." (classic) Dennis Miller
Dennis Miller could probably write a 1.5 hour show for SNL every week and it would be funnier than it is right now.
"I got a job this summer as a safe space lifeguard, to jump in and save the kids from their own bullshit"
Classic Miller.
Yeah, I remember when Miller USED to be funny...before he sold out and Joined Fox Entertainment.
Don't know much about Dennis Miller, but the fact that Norm MacDonald considers him a good friend is good enough for me.
I admire this man so much as a comic and as an individual- his days as Weekend Update anchor on SNL are unmatched
Jennifer W Norm MacDonald was just as good. He just hides his intellect
"You are paid to make fun of power at SNL." They didn't make much fun of Obama. Rarely make fun of the Democrats. The show has gone from comedy to propaganda.
Don T , do you need a hug, Pumpkin?
LOL
They had a white guy play Obama (Fred Armisen) for many years. They made fun of every President. Don't be so sensitive when it is your guys turn.
tommy b ya took the words out of my mouth, well said and oh so true.
Don T
Hahah. Not even close, snowflake. If you truly believe that SNL never ripped Obama or democrats then you've never watched.
God there is a comedian that makes sense. Dennis Miller is always great & very smart!!!!!!
"Trump's inner and outer thoughts always seem together; Clitory's inner and outer voices, however, have never even had a cup of COFFEE!!" Great stuff, Dennis!!
Every Trump rally is one big run on sentence of random thoughts.
Truthful thoughts, unlike the GARBAGE spewed out by PELOSI and her team!
Yeah you said Pelosi... um.. Obama Care.. Death Tax. Ummmmmm, ABORTION and other CONSERVATIVE TRIGGER WORDS.
what's your POINT??
So what's better an honest incoherent thought from the mouth of someone who obviously has no clue what he's talking about? Or a typical politician who may speak eloquently but still out of the side of her mouth?

I don’t think Miller moved really. It’s the left that moved and he didn’t go insane with them. One of the greatest.

6:54 -- That story Dennis tells of Mara Corday befriending Clint and then acting alongside him in later as the waitress - it all checks out! Clint was an uncredited fighter pilot in TARANTULA (1955) and she was the star; in 1983, Clint was Dirty Harry and she was Loretta the waitress who put too much sugar in his coffee, prompting him to come back into the diner to catch those thieves red-handed, which spawned the line, "Go ahead - make my day!"
Life.
Thanks Larry. That was a great guest!
Its funny I wanted to see some classic Trump from 2018.. Did a search on UA-cam and the results were skewed hard left.. Big data?
Yeah, the same platform that demonetises any LGBT content but says that Steven Crowder is fine to be monetised provided he doesn't link to his "Socialism is for f*gs" shirt is skewing hard left...
Big Data and Big Tech etc are not hard left, in the slightest. They may want to look like they care about minorities, which for some reason the right has decided is a bad thing (despite various right-wingers espousing social liberalism), but they don't actually care, they just don't want their income affected. If they were really left wing (let alone hard left), they'd be happy to advance left-wing causes, would desire strong unions and would pay their taxes. But they don't, because they are capitalist entities, and as such, only truly care about profits.
They happily host actual Nazis (not a hyperbolic descriptor for right wing people, I mean Swastikas, calls for genocide etc.) provided they cloak it in a gossamer thin veil and they bring profits. They may occasionally ban people who let the mask slip too much, but not because they disagree with it (nor agree, they just don't care) but because the possible backlash for hosting Nazis could hurt their profits. And none of that is left wing, at all. That's capitalism. And arguably right-wing, but it's sort of it's own thing, profit at any cost.
I love Dennis Miller. One of the funniest comedians ever.
Dennis says he doesn't watch SNL because it's a "young person's show" and he doesn't stay up that late. I'm not much younger than he is and I watch it every week any time I want through the miracle of streaming on Hulu and UA-cam. Lol!
The tolerant left is on display in this comments section.
Meaning...? I like him. So what?
As opposed to the tolerant right? lol
@Trane Sonic About the level of intelligent discussion I would expect from you lot. Hashtags and idiocy, have anything of substance or worth to add? Didn't think so.
Top marks for originality.
Sshooter444 so 15-25 or more people here make a comment you don’t like and you translate that to all liberals are troubled in their beliefs. So with that logic I hope you don’t throw your gun and all the bullets away when it doesn’t fire once.
I miss Dennis Miller Radio Show
Socially Liberal + Fiscally Conservative = Libertarian
Good explanation. I wonder where I fall. I am socially liberal but also patriotic and moderately conservative. I can't relate to the PC culture but I can have compassion and empathy for minorities and folks that want to come to the US for a better life. I seem to get along with both the Right and Left...but not really the extreme Right or Left.
@@Ironclad6661 this could be the time for a third party to challenge the hegemony - in 2024, after Trump's inpending victory/ 2 nd term. Hillary's accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian mole/ operative, poised to take over with her Russian troll- bots to win with the third party.😂 Crazy,baseless accusations- perhaps more indicative of Mrs Clinton's fears and jealousies than actual facts👹. And the extreme Left is fragmenting the Democratic Party, the impeachent efforts are failing, and Joe Biden is going to be knocked out of the race by the fallout around his son/ Ukraine deal. 2024 is when a third-party has a chance to win the presidentcy.
@@Ironclad6661 I think a lot of Americans feel/believe as you do. But anyone who is even perceived as being even moderately conservative is couched as a "racist" or "sexist" etc...or what ever other "ist" or guilty of some sort of "ism" by the left. The left speaks for the dems today and no other opinion is allowed. I feel for people who want to come here for a better life, but I also believe in the rule of law. You don't get to come here just because you want to., no more than someone can move into YOUR house because they like it better....and you objecting doesn't make you a racist...it makes you a realist..
Actually Miller is recalling what Rickles said upon meeting him wrong... when Rickles came out, Miller immediately complimented him on his brilliant comedic timing, to which Rickles coldly responded, "Fine." Miller did fall out of his chair laughing... it's up on youtube. Hysterical.
The D-man! Lol. Bop bop bop.
At 13:46, "drowning in their own BS".... best joke in the whole video.
It's good being socially liberal, and economically conservative. It's the best way to balance it. Combined with being someone that follows the philosophies of a Constitutional Democratic Republic creates a balanced human being, who doesn't stray too far to the left, or too far to the right.
i had to go back to a time
that made sense to me
Funny how Larry just can't conceive that Conservative thought is basically Common Sense.
I loved the interview Larry.
Larry got off the Hillary topic at light speed!didn't want any part of it!
miller changed after 911, by his own admission, but I still miss miller. his hbo show was fucking awesome.
I've heard many different versions of the Sinatra Rickles encounter in the restaurant over the years.
Me too. I heard the version about Don Rickles being on a date trying to impress the girl at dinner.
For a man of references, all Dennis needs to do to counter the "You've changed" arguments is to point to Billy Jeff's 1995 State of the Union address, where he talked about how serious of an issue illegal immigration was (and now it's worse). Game over. I'm kind of disappointed that he doesn't employ that one.
Bravo Dennis....I find myself in the same boat
Love Dennis miller miss him on Bill O
Trump is so much easier to make fun of because he basically makes an ass of himself literally every time he opens his mouth. Sometimes all you have to do is quote him. The jokes write themselves.
“I took a job at the local college as a safe space lifeguard. I jump in when the kids are drowning in their own bullshit.”
Smh Dennis gets hated on so much simply because of his politics. I'm looking forward to a future in which people aren't so close minded and ignorant.
I like Larry King but why is there such a delay from the broadcast date of 2017 to being on youtube in 2018?
uncleelmer One of the perks of paying for your entertainment. Crazy concept huh? There was a time when musicians could make a living before people were OWED free music too.
Michael Edwards -- Rooktabula happens to be right.
i guess uncleelmer gets his internet service for free
WRONG!
Michale Edwards...Wrong!
If main stream (news, education, entertainment, music or culture, any of it) told me the sun would rise tomorrow morning I would rush right out and buy all the candles and flashlights I could find.
I think we need Dennis's voice again Bill Maher needs to invite him on this new youtube channel
This is making me nostalgic for the old fox line up. I’m terrified.
How is Larry still alive? isnt he like 120?
lol
Henry Fonda in FT Apache. " I do not like exposed gallusses! "
He's such a funny dude. I don't get all of the references, but he always makes me grin. Good stuff.
Firecharge69 that’s his way of having that one up on everyone so we’re supposed to assume that he knows more than everyone else. I do love when he goes off on how nuts Pelosi is😆😆😆
That's his schtick big words no content. Trust me you'd laugh less if you understood every reference.
firecharger69 you dont "get" the references? how do you know he's "funny"?
Trust me he doesn’t even get his references… He’s the type a guy that looks up some obscure facts before he goes to a dinner party so he could sound intelligent
joshua irvin LOL...that is a great way to put it
Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense. -- Ron Paul
Greatest Sinatra story. LMAO
Imagine real time on hbo with Miller hosting and a panel of 3 conservatives and a liberal. Yeah, liberals would hate that and threaten an HBO boycott.
I'm with you Dennis, watching the news spin and no justice and the ripping-off of the American people, makes me so angry I have to find a TCM movie to take me back to a less corrupt time.
Larry King always interjects how long he's known somebody. "Don Rickles, I know him 58 years." "Donald Trump, I know him 35 years." "Kim Jung Un, I was in the delivery room when he was born."
Love the Brian Regan name drop!
I would like to be a Rooskie troll. Where can I apply?
Anyone know which book about Sinatra Dennis mentioned?
Love Dennis and Larry still going strong! More talent in this 26 minutes than all of late night tv these days!
You're paid to make fun of power, unless it's Obama. Kid gloves, deflect, Jedi "Move along".
Then why doesn't Miller make fun of Republicans? You know, the people in power? The people who had all branches of government under their control? Are they not in power when they control literally the entire government?
god damn, when did right wingers turn into such crybaby snowflake whiners?
ThwartedVillainy republicans in power? Don’t make me laugh. And he probably doesn’t joke about them because everyone else does. Think he wants to be original unlike almost every other current comedian
What Miller and Seinfeld are forgetting is that college kids never wanted to watch 60 year old comedians. When I was in college in the late 80s there was nobody on campus thinking "I hope we get to see Buddy Hackett or Alan King".
I wish SNL really did make fun of all power.
Dennis, by your own definition, you are a Libertarian. You just haven’t thought about it or cared enough to label yourself. You’re an independent free thinker that believes in fiscal prudence, strong defense, firm common sense foreign policy....yet, if two guys or two gals want to marry, you’re fine with that. Like you said, you’re a pragmatist that believes an adult should be free to do drugs if they so choose, but also take personal responsibility for the consequences and NOT burden the taxpayers with their bad decisions. Small government intervention into our lives. Maximum freedom and maximum responsibility. In this we pray oh lord, amen.
Funny about him watching TCM. I've found myself doing the same for the same reason. It's a humorless world now.
Sorry folks but Don's line to Sinatra wasn't "get the fk outta here" he'd never curse at Frank. His line was: " What are you doing, Frank? Can't you see we're eating?"
Wow. Not a lot of love for Dennis Miller on this channel!
Again, Larry gets the story wrong concerning Rickles and Sinatra. He was right about it happening in a restaurant. Rickles asked Sinatra to come over to his table because Don wanted to prove to his date that he knew the great one: Sinatra. Sinatra did in deed go over to Rickle’s table and Sinatra said “Don...”. And that’s all he got out before Rickles said” Frank, can’t you see I’m busy.”
You're right Michael. That's exactly the way Sinatra described it on the Carson show which is available on another UA-cam video.
1:35. "I've made my living with...." Sardonia? That doesn't pan out. CC says Tsar Dona. Also a miss. What did he say?
Dennis Miller is really really smartly funny....and breaks down politics with comedy way better than Bill Maher. Maher can be funny, maybe it's just cause he's a liberal lol
Those Starbucks eggs are quite good, I can attest.
Socially liberal and fiscally conservative makes you a Libertarian.
Rick B you really don't know anything. It's best to get educated first, then comment.
Socially liberal and fiscally conservative makes you rather foolish, because social liberalism is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Dennis has always had a problem. His IQ is at least 80 points higher than the majority of his potential audience. Brilliant guy and a unique thinker.
Agreed..! I enjoy Dennis Miller quite a lot!
Guy Fawkes No , but I guess you're allowed to be wrong
jeez this was a cringe inducing comment
Keegan Kimbllin you're defending Dennis Miller I think I know who the cringy one is
Dennis is highly intelligent, creative and does not suffer fools gladly which, if you learn anything in life, is just common sense and a waste of time. As you grow older you start to realize that time is precious, limited and should not be wasted, especially on fools.
Everybody's talking about Dennis Miller, but how about a shout out to Larry King? The man is 83 in this clip. Do you think you'll be as good at anything as he is at interviewing when you're 83?
Good to see Dennis not getting so worked up. Great interview.
I disagree with Miller's politics but he is articulate and has justification for his opinions. I would point out, however, that he admits to being reclusive and I feel more exposure to the public might make him change his mind on somethings
larry king is one of the best interveiwers !!!
Circuitous. Word of the day.
Hmm, I kinda like the guy. Despite the things people say he seems to have a viewpoint.
I don't agree with Dennis' politics, but I think he's an incredibly talented and intelligent comedian.
