His offbeat, awkward yet very genuine style remains refreshing and I will miss him. Nice to see that he will be coming back in a limited capacity on Netflix.

      Wrong. Look at the other opening monologues. They make fun of the audience all the time. It's not a kiss ass fest. You're not looking close enough.
      This was ranked the worst because the delivery was stiff, material was okay but dry, like an overpriced steak. Felt like TV jokes spoken at a higher volume.
      Personally, the worst one was Neil Patrick Harris and the year with James Franco/Anne Hathaway (not Anne's fault - Franco showed up stoned and was dead weight)

The taxi driver skit, however, wasn't so hot. Less cut-in gags and more verbal interplay would've helped.

    Never saw this before---don't usually watch the Oscars---but have heard about it, and that Letterman bombed, etc... This is very funny, in my view, not sure why it has the bad rap.

    I hate when people criticize a comedian whose humor they don't quite understand yet. Only they can know how the joke should have been told. The only thing a comedian needs is confidence. You can't teach someone to be funny.

    This sure isn’t on the levels of Billy Crystal or even Steve Martin, but it’s not that bad. I really like the bit with the taxi drivers, and certain jokes like the ebert roast and “Eat Drink Man Woman” are really good stuff. He has some misses, but they aren’t nearly as bad as Franco and Hathaway or especially the painful trio of Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes. He was even willing to have a few laughs at his expense about the hosting a few years later. I’ll always remember Billy Crystal’s ‘96 opening, where after the usual ‘running through the movies’ bit, he ran into David Letterman. “Here’s what you gotta do. Introduce Oprah to Uma, and then Uma to Oprah. Keep doing it Billy!!!”

    I've read many stories saying Dave was a terrible Oscars host. I'm not sure i get why, this is a great clip. Perhaps the Uma Oprah thing went on a bit long, but other than that, this is classic Dave.

    I'm listening it with very good speakers at 5'34 i begin to hear a voice saying "noooo" and then making comments about Dave's jokes that I can't not understand very clearly. Who is this voice? The producer of the show?

  • @CircuitRider
    @CircuitRider Před 2 lety +3

    That Ebert joke was great actually. Dave did a fine job, certainly much better than most of the corporate suckups who host. The Taxi Driver bit wasn’t that hilarious but just that Dave would include some actual regular blue collar folks in the show says a lot about him, he wasn’t an out-of-touch showbiz elitist type.

      There is a scene on youtube of Anne Bancroft doing an acting sequence - called "The Yma Dream" - that has been performed many times in theater and is in a novel. This has been considered by many a slight nod to her performance.
