Michael Davis | Juggling | The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

Michael Davis shows off his 'juggling' techniques on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
The Smothers Brothers
The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.
The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.
The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.

Comedy that is funny and clean, after he washed his props off. This is what made variety shows fun.

[@philipr.6090]

Yep; I miss variety shows.

[@williamchiafos3889]

Genuine humor

[@geoff6203]

Absolutely brilliant timing.

[@BALtimore2001]

Michael Davis is underrated.

[@mantelmann13]

Michael Davis is one of the most succesful jugglers in history. He was the only juggler on SNL, he starred on HBO, Broadway, he headlined with stars like David Copperfield and Liza Minlelli, he performed for several US presidents and even for the royal Family. He had countless TV appearances. You are overrating yourself, dude. All you can write is this "overrated" crap without being able to do some research before posting such brainless crap. Horrible.

This was one of my favourite bits as a kid.

[@MelanieFromCanada]

I have been waiting many decades for these skits and if I have to see them bit by bit, I will take it!

[@williamchiafos3889]

I vaguely remember him but just as well, I've got a lot to catch up on. Michael should have been more famous

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

his "danger... danger... warning" bit used to kill me every time! cheers, mate!

[@TammyBundleballs]

4:06 😂 The nose. 4:43 😂The Nixon. That was great

4:44 😂The Stan

[@tgrum3316]

I had almost forgotten about this guy. As soon as I saw his name, I remembered him as a favorite of mine on the late night shows of the late 70s. My favorite joke of his was when he juggled George Washington's axe. He had to replace the handle... and the blade.. "but it occupies the same space. "

[@Prof5680]

He's way to clean with it ❤

[@blank-dr2kx]

He and Steve Martin have similar ‘performance’ calmness. Check out Steve Martin juggling oranges and you’ll see

[@richardadams4928]

Always loved this guy's act. Anyone else remember his Glad commercial?

[@EightPieceBox]

Michael Davis always reminded me of Charles Grodin

[@MagravatorMag]

Hilarious! I've never heard of MIchael Davis. I was wondering if Steve Martin and possibly Steven Wright were inspired by him, although I think Martin was already famous at that point.

[@only1muppet]

If you read the description, you’ll find a link to Steve when he was on the show

[@chris993cross]

Brilliant!!!

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

why did I never hear of him? This was brilliant comedy.

[@beeble2003]

It seems he just wasn't able to develop enough material. There are dozens of KZbin clips of him but they're all either this act with the ping pong balls or the one where he juggles the egg, apple and bowling ball. Both are absolutely fantastic, but you need to keep developing new material if you're going to have a long career. He was quite big in the 1980s, but seems to have faded from view since then. But, every now and again, KZbin pops a video of him in my recommendations, and I always watch it, and always enjoy it.

[@Znebby]

When he had that super pimp walk and tripped I felt bad

[@MeOneP]

Absolutly funny!

[@Prof5680]

WOW

[@StephanieJeanne]

Wow! He was hilarious! What a talent! Don't try this at home, folks.🤣

[@MargaretTovrea]

But why would anyone want to watch?! Edit: That was funny!

[@Jason.Brayshaw]

Does anyone know what year this was?

[@arunandre]

89 or 90? From that age anyway.

[@AF-bv7tb]

​@@arunandre Actually, it had to be 1965 or 1966. I remember watching the re-runs from the 70s...

[@marekstruhar5574]

Michael wa born in 1953...​@@AF-bv7tb

[@gelu8312]

@@AF-bv7tb 65? ur wrong

[@beeble2003]

@@AF-bv7tb Michael Davis was born in 1953 and is clearly more than 12 years old in the video. Wikipedia suggests that it's either 1988 or 1989.

[@morpher44]

back in those days, they only way you could poke fun at the president, and get it past the censors, was to first show they you have washed your balls.

[@Ukepa]

really funny, "subtle slapstick"
