Dennis Miller

I have to admit that I found his faux literate banter more amusing when he was skewering sacred cows instead of practicing politics.

Dennis went from a smug, pompous left-leaning boor to a smug, pompous right-wing wh0re. Never funny; Now not even sincere. F U Dennis.

Very funny, very informed and way cool. The only downside to Dennis was his MNF stint, I do not want to hear words like adroit and erudite when I am watching football, other than that, he is good at what he does.

  There are TWO Dennis Millers to review: There's the funny, cool and smart Dennis Miller - and then there's the conservative Republican a$s-hat that exists in his skin NOW - after the pod creatures have snatched his body. This review is for the Bushwhacked version.

...I wonder whatever happened to his monkey sidekick...     ...oh, nevermind, I found him.

Yet another quite unfunny person.

This dude is not funny, not charismatic, not clever, and has nothing of interest to say. He was on SNL when it was no longer funny. He reminds me of the guy that acts like he is CEO of a huge corp after getting promoted to row captain at a fast food restaurant.

Okay, it's not the greatest thing out there, but it gives me a safety valve when Networks are airing reruns of Will & Fudge, or debuting wretched reality fare like My Big Fat Daddy is a Molester. Dennis Miller has become a NeoNeoCon and gives a Right-wingish approach to the news. As a person who prides himself in being able to GET any and all of Dennis Miller obscure references, I find Miller's humor refreshing. He loves to rip Michael Moore to pieces, making Miller a hero in my book. The show has a nice format and he has a diverse selection of guests. I actually got to correspond with a couple of them (Baseball stat guru Bill James and FOX sports personality Andrew Siciliano; James made an interesting comment about the show (this was last summer)...Well, I have always liked Dennis Miller very much. There is something about THAT SHOW, to my ear, that isn't quite working yet. But it certainly is much more intelligent than most television. . .). Daily Show is a little better, but Miller is on at 9:00 PM (when the kids finally get to bed) and Daily Show just ain't worth enough to go through the rigamarole of setting up the VCR.

Anyone favorably comparing this show to The Daily Show is high on crack. Dennis Miller is not only decidely UNfunny, he's just plain tiresome. I suffered through his show for the first 3 months waiting for it to get better. I've checked back a few times since and it STILL sucks. If I laugh ONCE during his show, it's an red-letter show. And based on the ratings and awards (TDS)... America agrees.

Dennis Miller is comfortable with himself. I saw the first show and try to catch as many as I can. I like his philosophy of not interupting and letting them air their opinion or their ignorance, whatever their case may be. It's a fun relaxing show, especially for channel switchers.

so when does dennis start doing wal-mart commercials and come out as being a member of nambla like his lover g.w. bush cause people need to distance themselves from this rep. cock-nocker who used to be funny but is no more. i say firing squade

Well, anyone who has to pay $15 per head to get audience members is pretty much toast.

this clown is being paid of by the bushie-bush crowd. When Miller sold out it was the seventh sign. Look for sixies under his tupe, this clown is the anti christ

Show has dramatically improved, because Dennis figured out what he was doing wrong. It's obvious he's finding his voice. Look out a year from now.

Hey Dennis...remember when you were FUNNY and RELAVENT? Yes...the good ol' days when you weren't up the GOP's rectum. Pull yer head out, wash off, and join us back in Sanity-ville, not Hannity-ville -- ok, cha chaaa?

He seems to be more balanced of later, and funnier. Must be reading his reviews or at least his producer is.

Dennis call it quits please! Don't go out like this. it's sad. Your show sucks and your GOP buttkissing just deosn't make for good entertainment.

I remember when Dennis Miller was funny. Now he relies on a chimp to get the laughs. This is not a liberal vs. conservative post as some others on here are. This show simply is awful.

Lost his sense of humor and perspective, this guy used to go after everybody. What a sell out!

Looks like the liberals have come out in full force. I can only assume that his show is so witty that u guys are unable to recognize the logic behind his beliefs. He doesn't lose arguments. Why not? Because you can't lose if you present a reasonable case. And he has no problem pointing out when he doesn't agree with the current administration. Gay marriage for example. He looks at each issue on a case by case basis. It just so happens that most of his views are more similar to Bush's than Kerry's. But Mr. Miller's moral compass isn't the GOP. It's logic. He just assumes that people are smart enough to see that for themselves... a sign that he is out of touch with the liberal community. BTW I am socially very liberal, and economically conservative. If you were to analyze that political alignment, you would find it is geared towards allowing people to be free, so long as they don't tangibly hurt innocent people. This more or less seems to be Dennis Miller's basis as well. It's a logical and moral one.

Oh man. They should introduce mandatory drug testing at his show. Looks like he'll end up like Rush.

While I sometimes find Dennis Miller entertaining, I really don't care too much for this show. If you're looking for a serious discussion on politics, then don't watch this show. There are just far too many better shows to choose from. Miller is sometimes witty, but is often repetitive and most of his one-liners seem quite desperate.

It is sad to see one of my formerly favorite comedians fall so far. Once Dennis started to try to defend the indefensible he stopped being remotely funny. I think hes so cranky because he knows he bet his career on his right-wing politics and lost, badly. The ratings on this site tell the story - the clear majority rates him a 1 or 2, but a few out-of-touch cranks give him a 5 and drag his average score up. Im sure that his ratings mirror this phenomenon.

Quickest and cleverest mind on television. Most entertaning hour on television.

I would give DM a zero if this site would allow it. Has anyone seen his new show with the monkey as his co-host? I believe the monkey is his only fan. After watching the show for 5 minutes, I went up stairs and tried to stab my brain with a q-tip.

Watching DM is like taking 100 mg of valium after a fifth of Jack D. with a NightTrain chaser. I think he might be post mortem. Look, his lips move, but the words aren't in sync. Has anybody taken his pulse lately? He just repeats: President Bush is the kindest, warmest man... Ala Manchurian candidate outtakes. I really think this guy might be dead... He is sooooo boring. He has to be a hit in the midwest.

My God, he's still on the air? Sad. As a conservative, I found the Altermann interview just embarrassing. Conservatives can win arguments with facts, thank you, not the pathetic, childish mockery I saw there. Thanks Dennis, you made all us right-wingers look just brilliant. Go disappear now and we'll let Bill O'Reilly try to fix the damage you've done.

Horrible. Miller believes he's a neo-intellectual...but he's just crap. His old, useless tirades from his failed HBO show travel with him----6 months and they will cancel him.

That was an interview with Eric Alterman? That was a talented host making an effort to earn his paycheck? No, that was simply pathetic.

Ye gads, where to begin? I tuned in just when Dennis Miller was accusing Eric Alterman of being lethargic in his answers. Meanwhile, Dennis was leaning sloppily over his desk like a drunken sea otter on the rocks at Pebble Beach. Another Oxycontin victim? Then, after relentlessly mocking Alterman and barely letting his guest get a word in edgewise, the segment ends and Alterman departs rapidly without comment (which any sane individual would have done), and former juvenile-frat-boy Miller suddenly gives his guest the good ole boy slap on the shoulder, like the audience is supposed to believe Miller's shtick was all in good fun. Pathetic. Class shows, and Miller clearly doesn't have it. But I have to be superficial and classless for a moment --and I the only woman who gets the heebie jeebies from Dennis's tiny hands?

Dennis Miller is funny. VERY funny. His show is every bit as entertaining as The Daily Show - and without the leftist aftertaste. Although, I hope DM realizes the bashing that he is going to receive from liberal television critics who hate him for his politics and the fact that he (GASP) likes our president. The Eric Alterman interview was great - how many achors have the guts (and HONESTY) to lay down when a guest is full of BS and unwilling to participate in an honest debate?

Just saw the show. The only thing I can say is boring. I can't believe this guy was ever on SNL. I am going back to watching Bill O'Reilly.

Dreadful. Miller stopped being funny ages ago, and his bizzare political 180 can only be attributed to sheer whoredom. The Alterman interview is probably his jump the shark moment, the Dean scream of his career. He must be suffering severe cognitive dissonance: once relying on intelligent references and wit, now reduced to co-starring with a chimp on a far-right show awful the audience has to be paid to watch it.

I saw the Alterman clip. Good Christ on a crutch, is Miller in need of a rehab stint? It looked like he could barely sit up straight in his chair. And he looked just awful: bloated, blotchy. At least O'Reilly and so on have the decency to stay awake. Did he even know who Alterman was? Alterman had this sort of, um, politely incredulous look while he basically interviewed himself. Oh, and toward the start, there's a shot where Miller is basically waving his hand right up into Alterman's face; you can see him recoil before putting his polite face back on. It was truly pathetic. Apparently Miller called Alterman to apologize the next day. I can't imagine what his excuse was. Nor why anyone is paying this choad. Hey, Leno isn't funny either, but at least he does his damn job. And for the love of god, what's with the chimp?

I saw the interview with Eric Alterman and it was the worst interview I have ever seen. The sponsers should have demanded a drug test for Dennis because he seemed either drunk or high. I also suspect that he seriously misses his blood-drinking friends at Fox News. They started the smarmy, sarcastic, interruptive, bully-style interview and Dennis seems to reserve what he learned at Fox for anyone of the left. Unfortunately with Eric Alterman, Dennis just simply looked incredibly stupid. It is sad really. It is almost as if Rupert Murdock and Roger Ailes have deliberately hired guys like Dennis and Geraldo to destroy any modicum of credibility they had built over the years. Suggestion: CNBC should dump Dennis and replace him with Eric. Now THAT would be an interesting interview show!

i feel bad for the guy after seeing that. anyone that could possibly side with miller on that disgrace is in so much denial it is not possible to reach them. maybe there should be an ignoramous network on cable just for dennis and his lemmings?

There is absolutely no humour in Dennis Miller's inept attempt at a conservative talk show. Eric Alterman's appearance revealed Miller's contempt for intelligent analysis of the Bush Cartel's misguided policies - bothe foreign and domestic. The only way Miller can debate substantiated analysis and opinion is to ridicule it - having absolutely no way to argue it because of his polarized views. This is typical of the conservative responses in the media of late. They can't actually debate policies; they can only attack peoples credibility and make fun of their character. The reason the right dislike the pompous liberal 'Hollywood crowd' is the fact that they take the time to educate themselves on the issues at hand - something that ignorant right-wing christian fundamentalists have a hard time doing...

Miller's 'career' has been a slow-motion train wreck for the past couple of years and it's time for CNBC to pull the plug on this no-talent has-been. He plunged to new depths of boorishness with his treatment of Eric Alterman earlier this week.

The other night wasmy first time tuning in, and to say the show is an egregiously unfunny pile of steaming excrement would not do it justice. After a lame, no-laugh monologue that tested the limits of human endurance, Dennis took pity on his audience and allowed the cameras to focus on something besides his disturbing smirk. When you have to resort to paying your audience it must be difficult to book A-list guests, so the best poor Dennis could muster was Court TV's Rikki Klieman (whom he called honey), and musty stalinist-turned-fascist David Horowitz. But even those two worthies could not help right the listing ship. It was all too excruciating, but I'm thankful I remained conscious long enough to witness a supremely ironic moment: after showing the Kerry lying crooks clip, Dennis asked Don't you hate it when boring guys try to be cool? Yes we do, Dennis, yes we do. By the way, don't you think having a chimpanzee as your sidekick on the show invites unflattering comparisons? In short, I watch Jon Stewart. I know Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart is a friend of mine. And you, sir....

GO DENNIS GO!! It's re-freshing to see a talk-show that doesn't pander to to the lib-left hollywood crowd. Dennis' ability to fight back with these pompous know-it-all liberals is a joy to watch. Keep it up Dennis!

I think Dennis Miller's show is excellent and I was right there with him feeling how incredibly pompous, opaque, yet boring Eric Alterman is. Dennis tries to be real; that's his strength...when someone like Eric Alterman presents himself as so utterly and completely steeped in his own tired liberal BS its understandable that Dennis just wanted the segment over with.

Miller is uninformed, insecure and not funny anymore. A Jon Stewart wannabe -- but never will.

The Alterman interview was indeed dreadful: Miller's behavior was so childish and his lack of preparation so obvious that I wouldn't have been surprised if he had been cancelled during the commercial break. I suspect he knew how indefensible his behavior was, as he was far more awkward in expressing his disagreements with Shipler, then kind of coasted through the rest of the night without being very argumentative with the exception of the Spain rant (which was surely prewritten). The bottom line is that the guy is interviewing authors without making an effort to read (or at least skim) their works, and thinks he can ad lib his way through the interactive parts of the show, when he obviously cannot.

I just watched Dennis Miller interview Eric Alterman on his show and it was the most embarrassing train wreck I have ever seen. Eric completely dope slapped Dennis all over his own show. I used to be a big fan of Dennis before he decided to plant his lips on the back side of GW and the GOP.

Miller is a joke. I never much cared for him. Now, he's jumped to the right for God knows what reason. He is shallow and seems pompt. As many other reviewers stated, he only glorifies the Bush crowd. He just cant swallow an open debate and always has to support his views. What's the point in that? Bush is a lying clown. No WMD's found. I would hope that Dennis would point out the obvious lies. Instead, he just adds to the rhetoric. Saw his show in early March with discussion of Martha Stewart. Funny how he never mentions the fact that the number one contributor to the 2000 Bush campaign was, you guessed it, Enron's Ken Lay. How is it that Stuart is going to jail and Lay walks the street. I'd have respect for Dennis if he simply presented an neutral stance and allow the viewers to make a decision based on a fare debate. Ja-Mon

This guy has become a joke. He is so insecure and know that becoming a right winger is the only way to get a job . This little man, much like his buddy GW would pee their pants if they if they saw charlie staring them on the face. I guess that is why GW skipped serving this country and did not even show up to serve in the NG only on pay day. GW is know as the Texas Suffle'. A one sided show trying to become O'Reilly.

Dennis has a very simple style. If he agrees with his guests (such as those that support the Bush War in Iraq) he treats them with respect, and if he doesn't agree he tries to temper their views with his typically unfunny remarks. His co-star, fittingly, is a chimp. His interaction with Scott Ritter on Friday showed all the problems with his show. When Ritter stated serious and kept making his points Dennis went lower and lower to shut him up (jokes, the children's prison, finally respect for the soldiers) at which point Ritter reminded the twerp that he {Ritter) had served his country and that the best way to honor the soldiers over there was to bring them home. After trying to overtalk Ritter, Dennis finally backed off. He's a Bush cheerleader and his views seem quite shallow, such as when he defended problems in the health care system by describing how sick babies always get whisked into the emergency wards. Not a deep thinker, not really funny, can't decide if he should go against Chris Matthews and call his own show either Oddball or Dumball.

A great show. A little more relaxed than the typical hostility laden commentary shows. For the most part, Dennis seems content to let people speak their mind be they right or left. Refreshing and funny.

I think CNBC has finally come to the realization that if you can't beat them (FNC), join them. The show has some kinks to be worked out but it delivers with Miller's patented intelligent wit and the respect he shows his guests/panel. Unlike O'Reilley he doesn't beat the guest over the head but allows for civil debate to take place. In some cases he tries too hard to be funny which is really unneeded. Like the monkey, the Dean sound, and his impromptu serving of a martini to one of his panelists. Kind of falls flat. This aint HBO Dennis and it aint late night. I also like the editorial monologues he gets others to submit. I always thought he was a pompous ass until I caught his HBO show; now I watch him almost every night.

I liked Dennis' show. There are so many ranting liberal talk show hosts out there, who rant and slander and make fun of the rightists. It was nice to have someone on the other side of the fence picking up their rocks and throwing them back, especially after 9/11. His biting sense of humor and overt political slant definitely wasn't fit for public access. But isn't that what HBO is there for? If Bill Maher can have his own rant show why can't Dennis? And that's the other thing I think that sets him apart from liberal talk show hosts - the fact that he treated his guests with respect, even when they were blind ideologues who babbled senselessly when they talked.

His comedic schtick ran out of steam in a real hurry, and his political beliefs are abhorrent. It's funny how he joined up with the Bush cartel just a mere two weeks before all of the scandals surfaced. Of course he's keeping a low profile these days. He is such a whore. Dennis Miller should be shot in the face.
