Jon Stewart on Dennis Miller Live 1995

[3martijns]

Sadly it is very true.

50 years of Dumbed-down 'education' has resulted in Lousy government being allowed to almost Ruin the USA!

[kronosaurelius]

You need a flowchart to follow Today's Dennis Miller punch lines. And Google or age to track down his references.

[StaysGroovy4U]

Holy shit these guys are witty

[Truthiness231]

9:13

In hindsight, he was incredibly right...

[thestormlscoming]

haha these callers are usually terrible, dennis should have canceled that part

[mwebb999]

Too bad that Stewart guy had his show cancelled. He seems pretty bright, I think he'll do just fine.

[sanctus216]

@mwebb999 Naw, he'll never get another gig again, i think nobody will ever hear from him again after 1997.

[kevhead66]

Ah 1995, back when these two guys were cool.

[arzgania]

@kevhead66 stewart is still cool

[kevhead66]

@arzgania yeah he is cool. And he's funny. I just don't like his politics much - and i'm not a right winger

[jwicklun]

My God, what happened to Dennis Miller. Sold his soul to Fox.

[ExodusPessoa]

@jwicklun I know say it aint so Dennis.

[beefking69er]

Dennis Miller is the most down to earth mother fucker.

Jon Stewart is a Genius.

2 peas in a pod.

[MooseOfReason]

Polysyllabic saturated fats. Hahahaha.

[MorbidHybrid]

It is tuff to see how quick Jon dismisses the Alabama's caller insight which cut straight to the bone of the deceptions and instead pissed rght over the schmuck who rightfully believes in a wider collusion behind closed doors. Hicks, Stanhope, and Carlin would have recognized the comment for what it was.

[TheDrLighthouse]

Wow, I can hardly remember the day when Miller wasn't a bitter, raspy, overmedicated conservative.

[BongMonstar]

2:45 is probably the best analogy ive heard for our world today

[spaceorbison]

I think what happened to Miller happened to a lot of people after 911. America split into left and right. The Bush administration didn't help either they drove the wedge deeper between Americans for political gain. Dennis just fell of the wrong side. He fell way off the wrong side.

[0Oclockmusic]

U know, it's funny. If you watch from 4:30, the caller asks a question which Dennis IMMEDIATELY shoots down (rather insultingly) and Jon likewise disagrees with BUT , BUT , I MEAN , BUT THEN at 5:33 , Dennis makes a point which supports the caller's argument. Watch it and think. Dennis basically inadvertently agrees with the caller. Why was Jon's show cancelled if so many people would like his show??????

[izaccy]

Is rather ironic, How now Jon Stewart have the show of the decade

and got average 1,5 to 2 mill. viewers now.

and at that time his show was cancelled.

If Miller said you have bright future

then he was correct

[Feetie39]

Jon Stewart Rules!!!

[ohgrx]

What happend to dennis miller? at what point did he go from this to a over the top conservative asshole?

[remyshepherd]

Dennis has the best laugh

[soartithurts]

@remyshepherd I love his laugh.

[tigerfood23]

what show did jon stewart have back then?

[loveliberty1776]

The Jon Stewart Show on MTV. Short-lived... contract from 1993 to 95, with Viacom canceling it earlier than expected.

[whereswaldoburied]

hey, its recorded earlier

[noneckjo3]

I miss this Dennis Miller...

[DavidsVirtualSelf]

agreed

[ExodusPessoa]

@noneckjo3 I k now what happened to him.

[DavidMB7613]

jon had a point on the "numbing of america". tool wrote a song on that too by the way, stinkfist. honestly though, this caller was very inciteful...so much so.

[devanshu123]

us Tool fans are the only people who are going to understand the world and its horseshit.

[elbob17]

The over/under on any Dennis Miller video where he says "I-uh" is currently at 35.

[StrictMachine13]

Its kinda scary looking at this video 14 years how true the whole using big words makes people think you're pretentious or a snub.

[blahblahhuh1]

you mean 'snob'.

I love the accent, but that kinda hurt your point. lol

[hardrain08]

he looks alot like fonzie

[bobolob]

It sucks because Dennis Miller kind of lost his mind and went UBER Conservative instead of down the middle like he used to be.

[DamnAllSequels]

He might be really Conservative but I'm depressed when peop use that to say that he is no longer funny. We may disagree w/ him but I def think he's still a worthwhile comedian :-)

[bobolob]

You make a good point, but once a comedian stops calling it down the middle, or becomes uber political he/she totally loses me. Jon Stewart makes jokes about both sides, sure it was more about the Republicans from 2000-2009 but come on, they had ALL the power. David Letterman I think calls it down the middle too, I mean, he made fun of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, how is that not calling it down the middle?

[DamnAllSequels]

I prefer Moderates too, but Dennis' righty stance on the war shouldn't negate the fact that he still has that reference-loaded, fast-paced jibe to his still highly enjoyable stand-up :)

[bobolob]

It's just weird comparing his stuff from the SNL and Dennis Miller Show to what he is doing now. I have noticed that he has shifted a little closer to the middle as of late. But who in their right mind hasn't? I saw one of his comedy specials on HBO right when Bush took office and he unloaded a lot of negative on Bill Clinton despite the great place our country was in and I have yet to hear him to do the same to Bush especially considering where our country has gone. And seeing him on Oreilly.

[DamnAllSequels]

Well if you listen to his Radio show, he def is still in support of the Iraq War, but whenever he supports Bush's wartime policies, I'll hear him acknowledge that Bush isn't exactly smart (his whole Bush is a Checkers player, Kerry plays Chess analogy), and can be too emotional on religious subjects and w/ affrimative action. Def he's still rightwing and I would like to see more balance from him, but that doesn't negate his keen mind and pointed observations :-)

[bobolob]

Keen mind hasn't changed, but pointed in the wrong direction in comparison to the past. I'm all for him supporting the troops, but for anyone not to acknowledge that this war only made things worse especially in any form of news media, is just not doing their job. The whole middle east became even more unstable and who knew that was possible. Having Saddaam there, as bad as he was, kept a sort of balance to that region of the world. Now we're worried about Iran and who knows what.

[elbob17]

Just like how american fans start losing me when they use the word uber. Next stop: Auschwitz.

[bobolob]

Who said anything about being American?

[arshsingh1984]

back when miller wasn`t a douche

[seans10]

It certainly wasn't because it was too intelligent for us dumb Americans. Stewart's act has improved dramatically since the early 90s. He's a much more polished performer today than he was back then.

[tartanmafia]

"...Think about it, it's Alabama for Christ's sake..." brilliant

[timpipe]

I think you got the bag on the wrong douche.

[chifour66]

Miller saw Stewart's potentional even then. He also was responsible for Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and several other young talents getting their start. I just wish Stewart hadn't turned into a douchebag.

[chifour66]

The guy from Alabama was prescient, and no one really talked about stuff like the dumbing down the American people. Little did they know 14 year years ago, that the intelligence was at the peak, and now sucks.

[HisShadowONE]

and the caller from alabama was the only one with an inteligent insightful comments , that NO ONE SEES.. are you seeing it now / cause i happening and working ...

[Joerexia]

"Something really bizarre, like the Queen of England blowing Barney the Dinosaur."

[IsaacB5679]

this makes me feel old... i was in high school when this was on and i remember watching it all the time

[ragenut2112]

Too bad Miller became BillO's butt-boy

[sayanythingkicksass]

hes talking about how all these people got canceled now there all bigger than they ever are

[fedeman2]

it's rediculous that some people would dumb down. football players end up driving cabs. nerds who get beat up are the ones who later get to be jon stewart.

[VerbalHyde]

Jon Stewart was far from a nerd in school - just read a bit about him.

[fedeman2]

i saw a biography on him and he was a little more on the "underdog" side. when i said "nerd" i meant it in the widest possible sense.

but that's besides the point. what really bothers me is that people seem eagar to dumb down because of some arbitrary standard that sets a limit of inteligence in order to be socially accessable.

[VerbalHyde]

Yeah, I kinda figured you meant that as well. We do know he's a comic book geek. :)

I couldn't agree with you more, but it's kids playground at that point. Sadly.

[RealTime88]

A lot of great comics are.

[VerbalHyde]

No shit.

[JoeCB1991]

God I miss this show.

[rondinsk]

awesome! I loved watching Dennis Miller Live
