I tried looking him up on Wikipedia. I found nothing. Which is weird, because Wikipedia has pages for most genius people. How in the hell is a man this brilliant not selling out venues across the world?
"I'll never find another girl with eyes like mine"... That's just brilliant! Simple, elegant jokes. Why this gentleman attitude is not in the mood anymore these days?
Somewhere I have this on Betamax and have despaired I would ever see it again. It's quite simply one of the funniest things I ever saw on tv. I should get out more as Davis would say... Thank you for sharing this so very much!
i love this guy...i saw him on the smothers brothers back in the day...so fun to watch these clips...i appreciate humor but i am not moved to laughter very often...the howling cowboy really caught me off guard...so whacky...made me laugh long and hard...just a great performance.
To know that we share similar thoughts is a comforting thing. People are linked up beyond what we can immediately realize. We all have our roots in one another. That, among the few revelations brought about by our generation, is worth recognizing.
Throwingstick, you must mean Seasick Steve stole that line, since his album with that title came out in 2009 and the Michael Davis appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show predated SS's album by at least 15 years. Actually, the line has been around far longer than the 1990s, and I believe it originated in vaudeville.
I remember watching this in a Hotel room when I was 12, staying up late to see him, because he had just married my cousin not long before and I was going to be seeing him soon. I believe Tom Hanks was on the same show that night, and to this day I still have a piece of paper from Tom Hanks that he gave Michael with a little note on it.
@ throwingstick: Lighten up, my friend. Comedians, especially back in vaudeville, have always stolen material and used it to suit their own acts. Milton Berle even recommended that. It's just a funny line. Nobody "owns" the joke.
"i started out with nothing and i still got most of it left" is an album title by seasick steve. i thought that guy was clever, turns out he's just a thief.
Приколы
A very very talented man... comedian, juggler, musician and very intelligent, amazing.
That was a 10/10 performance.
What a genuine genius!!
This guy is awesome ! Until 2-3 days ago I had never seen him in my life !
Brilliant! How'd we ever miss him??
If this is your first experience with Michael Davis, be sure to check out his juggling stuff too.
this guy's comedy is right up my alley it's my kind of humor deadpan dry and absolutely hilarious why is this guy not a comedy legend!?!?!!!?
I can't help but feel like Dimitri Martin's entire style was inspired by Michael Davis.
so... he invented 90% of todays memes in this act?
Howling cowboy had my lmfao
So that's where the gif of the perpetually spinning cat with a buttered toast on it's back came from...
wow my favorite performer! this man was truly something else.
All this ...and a talented juggler too 🤹♀️ ....funny, funny guy!😂

How in the hell is a man this brilliant not selling out venues across the world?
How ? maybe 'cos he's approximately 34years older !!!
GENIUS
I've only just discovered this fella. Mike, where've you been all my life?
"I'll never find another girl with eyes like mine"... That's just brilliant! Simple, elegant jokes. Why this gentleman attitude is not in the mood anymore these days?
that was from a generation that didnt grow up on prescription drugs, scam education and healthcare
Just brilliant. First time I heard about him today.
Great performance

Counting up the frets at the start 😂
