The 13th Annual Young Comedians Special (1989) watch online HD

This basically cannot be found anywhere - if you have a copy, consider yourself lucky.

Fred Stoller, the late Drake Sather, Andy Kindler, the late Warren Thomas and Ray Romano are freaking hilarious in this stand-up special.

Stoller's routine (who went on to big success as a comedy writer) had me rolling on the floor.

Andy Kindler's musings about an old hack comic in the Catskills is pure gold: "they canceled the #@&*ing week on me.".

Shame on HBO for not releasing the Young Comedians Specials on DVD.

This is late 1980's stand-up at its finest. Classic, classic stuff.

Please HBO - release this on DVD !!!!

Ray Romano was not a part of this special, by the way.

If I had to rank the 6 comedians that appeared on this special from most funny to least funny, the list would look like this:

Drake Sather.....by a wide margin

Fred Stoller

Rob Schneider

David Spade

Warren Thomas

Jann Karam.

And, of course, Dennis Miller's intro was hilarious. His commentary on Khomeni's funeral, and Tammy Faye Baker, brought me to tears.

It's a shame that two of the participants have passed away. Drake was hilarious; Warren's set had a few bright moments, as well.

I'd like to add my vote for HBO releasing this on DVD sometime soon. I've seen all the Young Comedian specials and this was by far the very best. I used to have this recorded on a homemade tape and I wore that out years ago.

David Spade and Dennis Miller were both at their cynical best. Drake Sather will have you rolling on the floor. Rob Schneider's Elvis bit is an absolute classic. My brother and I still quote lines from this special even after not seeing it for nearly ten years. The bit about Denny's restaurant still provides me with funny comments for my friends why I don't want to go there. I really hope this will be available on DVD someday.
