Weekend Update with Dennis Miller

Shorter Update tonight; some of Dennis Miller’s jokes are starting to feel a little hacky (particularly the lead-off one about Reagan and Gorbachev setting the date). He also stumbles a bit on a joke about a trick-or-treater being dressed as Joan Collins’ estranged husband. Elvira drops by to remind people of the “true meaning” of Halloween that gets lost in the candy, costumes, and decorations: death, screaming, and horror. Unfortunately, this is pretty much DOA with tonight’s audience (aside from a line about burying people alive).
