Weekend Update With Dennis Miller

Miller’s still coming into his own with his “I just don’t give a fuck” delivery; the audience responds well to the “Punch Mary Lou Retton in the Teeth Lottery”, and even though the “President stuffs the turkey” felt like an old joke, Miller gives it extra leverage by adding “easy…easy…”. He’s still doing the videotape footage jokes, this week as a grim punchline to the story about the Find Cap’n Crunch contest. Damon Wayans returns with a follow-up commentary about what the Reagan-Gorbachev summit accomplished. Most of it is forgettable, aside from Wayans’ warning about terrorists “hijacking the planet in the name of Allah” being more of an threat than a US-Russia nuclear war, and hypothetical scenario where “Abdul straps an MX on his back and threatens to jump off the World Trade Center”.
