A very very talented man... comedian, juggler, musician and very intelligent, amazing.

This guy is awesome ! Until 2-3 days ago I had never seen him in my life !

What a genuine genius!!

That was a 10/10 performance.

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!?!?!!!?

If this is your first experience with Michael Davis, be sure to check out his juggling stuff too.

Brilliant! How'd we ever miss him??

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?

wow my favorite performer! this man was truly something else.

"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

All this ...and a talented juggler too 🤹‍♀️ ....funny, funny guy!😂

GENIUS

Howling cowboy had my lmfao

I've only just discovered this fella. Mike, where've you been all my life?

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?

How ? maybe 'cos he's approximately 34years older !!!

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!

Great performance

So that's where the gif of the perpetually spinning cat with a buttered toast on it's back came from...

OMG! Howling Cowboy!

Counting up the frets at the start 😂

What. A. Legend.

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.

Just brilliant. First time I heard about him today.

Awesome

The original Demitri Martin

Jake Nelson thank you for that.

BRILLIANCE!!

I am freinds with his son! Just figured out this is his dad

best comedian ever

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.

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's Da Howlin' Cowboy!

Reminds me a little bit of Stephen Lynch.. With a pinch of "epic" added into the mix...

how old is he now and is he still performing? cant seem to find anything new onhim?

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.

Steven Wright used some of his jokes.

... And Screamo was born.

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.

Pause at 6:13

This guy could be dead ringer for Nixon(heh heh get it?)

he's from the generation of americans that had logic and charm, nowadays its horrible

@ 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.

Don't do the eye brow thing.
