Notice how President Reagan, a Republican, was sitting next to Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neal, a Democrat, and his wife. They had staunch differences, but could put them aside and act like humans should. This could never happen today.
During a time when you could have differing opinions and views and still be civil. Currently, I doubt you could get the same "titles" in a room together, for the same reason, without "someone" making a spectacle of themself, in self interest.
I remember seeing this as a child. That was a long time ago. I also remember Jesus doing this act until Pontius Pilate got hit by Jesus with a Tomahawk in the nut sack. Yeah, a short career. 😅
The reaction shots of the Reagan's is not phony. They were from an older generation and appreciated this guy's act. (I did, too) Michael Davis was a gem.
AND Senator Howard Baker was a very good sport, too!! It is good to see Tip O'Neill and President Reagan sitting together with their wives. Things are so different now.
Good wholesome entertainment!! It reaffirms that we can all get along in this world!! Lay aside our ethnic origins and political differences and act civilized human beings!! Abraham Lincoln in his address just before the Civil War " a house divided against itself cannot stand". We need to get back to the basics of brotherly love and kindness not just in America but all over the globe!!!
The truly amazing thing about this guy is, this was the 80s so you had Richard Pryor, George carlin Eddie Murphy dice clay. This guy did not swear once were really even tell a joke and you were laughing the whole time. He’s a pure comedic genius.
Wow , I just discovered this and Its almost a 100% perfect routine. I'm a brit and sometimes American humour doesn't work here ,but this is way up there, Genius
Michael is the reason i became a juggler. I watched his act in London and as part of it he invited someone from the audience to come up on stage & juggle with him using a sliced load, a chicken & a pound of butter (unwrapped of course). I loved it so much that i taught myself how to juggle, bought front row seats for a later performance & was lucky to be chosen to come up on stage with him. I can honestly say that I've performed on stage in the west end with an artiste who has entertained the most powerful man in the world...
Thanks for daring to be VERY different. You must be mighty impressed by semi-moronic politicians and Presidents on stage reading their cue cards and teleprompters. What a great job they do juggling with the world's problems and our lives. And they have to be jugglers AND ventriloquists' dummies.
@@fly9wheel - I sure there are lots of reasons but I guaranty you it has a lot to do with the overly influential liberal hive mind in this country today.
Oh it’s so perfect. Davis really came up with the greatest comedy juggling routine in history. So much of his street routine on show - ‘don’t throw it back whatever you do… it’s my fault - I picked you’. Really the best to ever do it.
Michael Davis was/is a fantastic juggler, and a funny guy. I'm glad that President Reagan and Nancy, as well as Tip O'Neill and his wife were thoroughly entertained!
When he started juggling the sharp stuff in front of regan the secret service must have been shitting themselves 🤣🤣🤣 I could never be trusted with that I'd say something stupid like "hey Mr president CATCH"
I'm sure they done a thorough background check all the way back to his great, great, great grandfather, but still, they'll have 5 snipers aiming at his head, hands, and the objects
I bet they did too, I was thinking the same thing, not to mention thyey prob did a couple dress rehearsals, and told him not to falter a smidge. @@TripleTreuViet
@@jool7793 You don't think anyone ever learned any lesson from what happened to President Lincoln AT THE EXACT SAME THEATER?! (or maybe the two guys behind Reagan just wasn't enjoying the performance as much as everyone else was?)
I think of the sky when I saw when I was Ronnie.Reagan was in office and the image of this guy has always stuck with me as as a real skilled entertainer.I'm glad I found this
Most perfect comedy skit I've ever seen. Michael Davis is brilliant in every way possible. Senator Baker did his part perfectly. I wonder how many rehearsals Michael Davis and senator Baker had to go through to make that work. It was BRILLIANT!
Davis's absolute confidence before the elite audience of REAGANS and others is awesome. His juggelery & hilarity have brought peels of laughter from all and sundry. 😂😂😂😂
WOW. That was a great act. The Audience was had some important folks as well. Did anyone see the MIGHTY TIP O'NEAL. The last real SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE WORTH ANYTHING...
Yeah, shes got the feminine aura alright. Not many female possesses that. My gf is full of it. Hygiene and feminine aura go hand in hand, which is the two most important qualities u can find in a woman
Good clean humor, that is for sure 😅 It reminds me of my Dad. He was older than my Mom by 13 years. He brought so much happy laughter into our family's life! I miss him so much... and everything he had to share with our family and friends. But... that was a different Era. I sure wish we could bring it back... if for anything else... happier times even when the world was fighting wars... people back home did everything they could to fiocus on the positive!
I read in a old READERS DIGESTA of a Juggler who was pulled over by a Cinncinati Police officer and when the officed walked up to his car, he noticed several large Machete knives laying on the back seat,so he asked the Juggler,"Why are those in your car?" The Juggler answered,"I use them in my Act" And the officer said,"Yea right,"let`s see you do it" So the Juggler grabs his knives and stands behind his car and started tossing and catching the knives,and a guy driving by,slows down to watch and says,"Wow,.sure glad I quit drinking,look at the test`s they`re giving now!"
Can you imagine our current President laughing like that? I don't think he would even understand what was going on much less get the humor. And he would probably fall asleep because I am sure this is later than is 7:30 pm bed time. This guy is amazing.
True, but Trump fell asleep on FOUR DIFFERENT DAYS so far during his _payoff the porn star_ trial. If you're going to laugh at sleepy politicians, be bipartisan about it.
You mean when the A team and the Simpsons and cable TV that showed full nudity and constant communist fear mongering all were airing? Nothing has changed. It's just better camera quality and effects
Wet my pants every time i watch him. Watched one in which he lectured 'seriously' about a corporation and or its director. Extremely subtle humor. I need potty training...
How they allowed him to do with swords and ax right in front of Reagan couple is beyond my comprehension. I wonder how Davis persuaded the security team.
