Weekend Update with Dennis Miller

Dennis Miller starts off pretty strong tonight, including a callback to a joke last week about Nancy Reagan in Frank Gorshin’s Riddler costume, as well as some more fun with the Bakkers, Joan Rivers and Donna RIce, before ending the season with taking a Polaroid as “something to remember you by” and saying he’s off to grow his hair. With guests, Pathological liar Tommy Flanagan (Jon Lovitz) returns for the first time since February, this time as Oliver North’s attorney. Probably not the most memorable outing, but as usual there are funny moments, particularly the claim about being undercover as a fish that ended up fileted and eaten (with a cleverly done bathroom joke), and crashing in the Himalayans with wife Morgan Fairchild (“whom I’ve slept with/seen naked”) and eating the survivors (“…cause the dead ones were rotten”) and A. Whitney Brown returns with some advice for the Class of ‘87, and literally demonstrates the difficulty of juggling priorities. Again, the usual good stuff from Brown, with some digs at USA Today.
