| Weekend Update with Dennis Miller | Dennis Miller’s slump continues. There are a lot of jokes that fall flat tonight, particularly the runner about increasingly conservative groups criticizing each other (following conservatives turning on Reagan for the INF treaty). Kevin Nealon’s back with another Thoughtful Insight, this one starting off from airline disasters and going through stories about tinted windows being installed backwards, safe alternatives to fireworks, and whether long distance is the next best thing to being with someone between the cliches. Not Nealon’s best either, but it’s better than a lot of Miller’s jokes tonight. | |
