Dennis Miller: Live From Washington D.C. - They Shoot HBO Specials, Don't They?
Dennis Miller has the brains to make great stand-up (even though most think he is a talk show host) and this proves this. In fact, this was filmed right before Miller got Miller Live. Funny stuff as he talks about the new president, his kid, and other random rants. Not his definite best, but he isn't terrible. Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong, and the balcony is now closed.
