    Michael Davis was huge in the 1980s, but then just disappeared. Even after all these years, he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Someone who knows what happened to him needs to start one so we can find out what happened to this unique talent !

    According to this e-mail from the Reagan Library: "The Reagans attended events at Ford's Theatre six times during the Presidency -- 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987. Since you mentioned 1981 and 1982, I checked the President's schedule files for those years. Michael Davis, comedian juggler, is on the program for the annual gala at Ford's Theatre held on September 25, 1982. The gala was titled "Festival at Ford's." I think this must be the date of the video."

      It's just the TH-cam algorithm that, if you hit "like" keeps sending. If you hit "dislike", stops sending. so you might like videos of cute cats but after a thousand cat videos you hit "dislike" just so you do not see the unending videos of cats. Nothing personal. It's a way to control what you see.
