Joe Dirt sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch idea, the one banished to the show's last 10 minutes when comedy doesn't matter anymore. SNL refugee David Spade, above, knows something about that. He plays the title role, a bantam-rooster janitor with a mullet haircut. Joe was abandoned by his parents at birth, but a talk show radio host (Dennis Miller on loan from Monday Night Football) attempts a family reunion while broadcasting Joe's life story. If previews are blowing the best jokes as usual, Joe Dirt should be quickly swept under the carpet.
