Weekend Update With Dennis Miller

Dennis Miller continues to get mileage from the burgeoning Iran-Contra scandal, including a bit that presents actual footage of Reagan’s press conference as a screen test for Isuzu, whose advertising at the time featured pathological liar Joe Isuzu (David Leisure). There’s also a run of several jokes delivered in quick succession, after which Miller himself comments that he has to slow down A. Whitney Brown responds to last week’s show being edited by network censors with an address to the show’s sponsors. This isn’t presented as a “Big Picture” commentary, but it can be seen as a companion piece to his last one in the Rosanna Arquette episode; here, he argues that the easily offended have learned not to watch SNL, and the bigger threat to the show’s advertising pull is pay TV and cable (“The enemy is not the Moral Majority; the enemy is Phoebe Cates’ breasts!”)
