Featured review
I recorded this when it originally came on in 1989
Ray Romano was not a part of this special, by the way.
If I had to rank the 6 comedians that appeared on this special from most funny to least funny, the list would look like this:
Drake Sather.....by a wide margin
Fred Stoller
Rob Schneider
David Spade
Warren Thomas
Jann Karam.
And, of course, Dennis Miller's intro was hilarious. His commentary on Khomeni's funeral, and Tammy Faye Baker, brought me to tears.
It's a shame that two of the participants have passed away. Drake was hilarious; Warren's set had a few bright moments, as well.
