Here's Dennis Miller talking about how he met Frank Sinatra.
The story has a couple of out-loud laughs in it, but I was taken by how he crafts the storytelling. A few asides, and he works his way back to the end.
Whatever happened to Dennis Miller?

Yep. Excommunicated from popular media.
Has James Woods had a part recently?

In the comments: Tom Dreesen.
I was there. It happened exactly that way.However It's always interesting to me that when an entertainer, painter,writer etc etc displays their talent on these formats. Almost immediately the comments come pouring in both positive and negative. The negative ones first start out with "I don't think he or she is funny." Then " I never thought he or she was funny" Then the hatred moves to their politics and gets really mean and ugly. Then if you defend the artist the haters attack you viciously. I was taught that great minds separate art and politics. I toured with Sammy Davis Jr and he had a sign in his dressing room that I loved. It said "I don't know the meaning of success but I do know the meaning of failure, It's when I try to make everyone love me". No one can.

I separate art and politics. Therefore I have a great mind.

Dana Carvey doing Dennis Miller was always pretty good; he always knew exactly what to make fun of. Which makes sense; I had no idea they knew each other.
On one of Miller's shows, he interviewed Fat Mike from NOFX. That was I think the last time I saw him in anything aside from this.

There's lots of youtube videos of Miller talking to Norm Macdonald on Miller's show. I think I've listened to all of them. Miller loves Norm.
