Wed Nov 12 2008You know you're getting old if you can remember when Dennis Miller was funny. And then it was because Al Franken was writing his material. I don't get these people who refer to him as an intellectual. There's no such thing as an intellectual conservative. He's just a pompous jerk.

Mon Oct 27 2008DENNIS JUST AMUSES HIMSELF BY THINKING HE IS FUNNY
by spike65
Sat Aug 23 2008So this has become another political forum! Just for the comedy Dennis Miller is a funny guy. His stream of conciousness humor can wind on a bit long at times and you have to really pay attention to keep up with all the twists and turns but he is never boring. I am sorry he has risked his career by being a conservative commentator but he is only looking for humor in politics which isn't hard to find. Does every comic have to sign the liberal pledge? Thou shalt not make fun of liberals.

Sat Aug 02 2008Dennis can be very funny, however I'm not crazy about his radio show.

Fri Aug 01 2008Contrary to some claims, Miller was never a liberal and never had a liberal sensibility, but, at his best, he was often quite funny and was capable of making some cogent observations, although his facade of swarmy sophistication, faux-"hip" name dropping, and obsessively cramming his routines with obscure esoterica and references wore thin quickly. Still, he was genuinely funny, at least until 9/11 seemed to simultaneously castrate and lobotomize him. Basically, he functions now as Ed McMahon to Bill-O's Johnny Carson, and it's really, truly sad. Adding insult to injury, he's not funny anymore either. Sometimes I have to go back and re-listen to some of the old CD's just to reassure myself that he ever was.

Fri Aug 01 2008As a comic he was often funny, although the idea that he was ever a liberal is a little bizarre.Now he's just a pretentious bore

Fri Aug 01 2008I liked him better as a comedian than a pundit. His pretentious language and obscure literary and historical references are a howl when he's cracking wise. When they are put to work in the service of serious discourse they are pompous beyong belief.

Fri Aug 01 2008Well...9-11 really opened up alot of people's eyes. I dont hate him for leaning more to the right after that. Plus, it's not like he's this staunch conservative. He will still ALWAYS be remembered as a comedian. Even tho like u said hes not nearly as funny as he once was.

Thu Jan 17 2008Reading most of these comments I can't help but believe that there has been some horrible parenting in this country. You critics would have us believe that since Mr. Miller no longer swings left of center that he is the anti-Christ himself. Truth of the matter is, he only swung just a little right of center. Yet to liberals, move an inch to the right and you've moved a mile. I think he is right in line with most American's who occupy the middle third of the spectrum, rather than left or right. Mr. Miller goes off and does some soul searching, post 9/11, and has come to his conclusions about politics, family, country, and moral responsibility through dedicated research. Guess what...the man has proved it is never too late to grow up.

Tue Oct 09 2007Dennis went from a smug, pompous left-leaning boor to a smug, pompous right-wing wh0re. Never funny; Now not even sincere. F U Dennis.

Wed Oct 03 2007Had more respect for him before 9/11 fried his brain.
by jaywilton
Thu Sep 20 2007I never paid any attention to him on Saturday Night Live;I think he's very good on radio-and could be the ex-Democrat to piss off liberals the most.

Sun Aug 12 2007Yeah, Miller is the only one who finds his corny one liners funny.
by dazedandconfus_ed2
Sat Jul 21 2007Too full of himself, always laughing at his own jokes.

Wed Jun 06 2007Best thing to happen to radio in a long time. I listen to the podcast every day. Funny. Not too self important and well informed! joe
by castlebee
Sat May 26 2007I've recently started to listen to him on his new radio show on the way home from work and usually end up laughing my head off...something I rarely did back when I listened to other talk radio folk. I may or may not agree with his politics - which, btw he manages to convey without the doom and gloom approach of so many others. Basically it's his comments and thoughts on current events that make the show one of the best I've ever heard of that particular genre.

Sun Apr 22 2007Dennis Miller is an example that not ALL Hollyweird types have their robotic heads up thier butts.
by louiethe20th
Wed Apr 11 2007Very 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.
by dennismiller
Wed Mar 28 2007Oh my god he's a genius!!! I have no idea what he's talking about. All those refernces to old TV shows from the 80s. Wow!!! What a genius!!!!! I didn't get his comparison of Nancy Pelosi to Jack Lord on 2 liters of Fresca after he ate his own sh$t, but my god he's such a genius!!!!!

Wed Mar 28 2007This man used to be so funny, he was once considered to be "the thinking man's comic", but sadly, Dennis Miller died not long after 9-11. He intentionally committed slow-motion political and public acceptability suicide and some three or four years thereafter, Jon Stewart and some of his other friends filed for power of attorney so they could disconnect the pity applause machines that were keeping him artificially tied to a world that he no longer recognized nor related to, in any way whatsoever.Darrell Miller and his (supposedly non-romantic) friend, the two-bit, half-brained, washed-up character actor, Ron "Whatsisname" Silver, mutually disconnected their own reality feeding tubes in a small, tastefully intimate private ceremony held in Karl Rove's butt-crack.When MSNBC fired Dennis Milner, his chimp co-host actually got more job offers and a far better severance package than Daniel Miller did. Apparently, the calls and the pay were based on talent and intelligence.RIP, Dennis Milton... Read more

Fri Feb 09 2007Finally came around to conservatism. Must have grown up like most of us do.... eventually.
by andrewt
Mon Jul 31 2006Not as funny (or as smart) as he thinks he is. Was ok on SNL because he didn't pander to the crowd, but he started his fast skid when he bombed on Monday Night Football. I remember Mort Sahl, I loved Mort Sahl . . Dennis Miller is no Mort Sahl (who is still with us, by the way, and still smart and funny).

Thu Jul 06 2006Yet another quite unfunny person.
by 1skeeter
Mon Apr 10 2006This 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.
by silver_eagle_252
Sat Apr 01 2006The intellectualist. Hard to keep up with him sometimes. Wish I had more brain power and a broader knowledge base so I could catch all the subtle and obscure references that he throws out. Still, very funny when you can understand what he's ranting about. Always a good break from the likes of Larry the Cable Guy (don't get me wrong, Larry is very funny, but on the opposite end of the spectrum).
by johnspina
Sat Mar 25 2006Can be pedantic at times.How come it is that he is a fool for leaning right whereas if he was one of the many LaLa land minions who mindlessly chant "Bush is a moron" he would be seen as the greatest thing since corned beef hash?

Fri Mar 24 20063x + 34 to the second power - 12y= you suck Dennis Miller! I don't care how smart you think you are dude.

by stand_up_lover
Sun Jan 15 2006love dennis miller, love the writing of the rants and his ability to strip away the party line bullshit. sad that he got put on a shelf at cnbc and became watered down. he needs to be allowed to say what needs to be said
by drummond
Wed Dec 07 2005He doesn't even seem to be having a good time anymore.
by musebydefault
Tue Aug 30 2005I'm waiting as a fellow anti-political boxist with other X-generationees to offer my perception of the current society, which- as all of you loud ass media sorts seem to orgasm touting, is in dissarray. THANKS {assholes..} Dennis Miller and Chris Hicthens, along with Thomas Friedman and Oprah Winfrey, are a few of voices I'll pause to listen to. This hippie/love child generation of Mary Tyler Moore worshipping, PC frontal conversationalist, but backdoor artisticly inclined sadists which distribute most of lifes propaganda called media *thing* has left the younger generation X screwed. But voices like Millers help me feel some level of unity with others who understand that honor is the most golden of all attributes.

Sun Jul 24 2005Funny. Great use of language. Good wit and makes great points. I'm sure plenty of raters here hate him.

by southparker9
Tue Apr 19 2005Not funny or a comedian. To intellectual to be considered funny. Your audience shouldn't have to work at getting the joke. Seems to ramble on when not needed.
by several_licks
Tue Apr 12 2005Conservative asshole! How many times can you get a laugh from saying, Nuke them all.
by sol12313
Thu Mar 17 2005Please, do us all a favor and ban Mr. Miller from appearing on any broadcast format. It's not Miller time and never was.
by swelcher
Fri Dec 31 2004This is a tough one because I used to have a CD of his and I thought he was really funny. Then I seen him licking it up with Sean Hannity on Fox and I wondered what the hell happened to him. I've seen a couple of his talk shows and I think that audience is planted. The best comedians are the ones who take on everybody and everything like George Carlin, not just ape the same stuff Limbaugh and Hannity spew. If your such a patriot who sees no problems with the war, why don't you encourage your son to enlist
by readright
Wed Dec 22 2004I was looking for a voice of intellectual conservatism, and had always thought of Dennis Miller as reasonably intelligent. What is clear now is that he has always benefitted from strong writers; his own commentary is weak, ill-articulated, and without firm logical foundations. The show, which I watched more than I should have in the hopes it was simply suffering from start-up woes, is a colossal disappointment, as is Miller. I think his star has diminished -- it's apparent now that he was showing off an erudition he never really had for all these years.

Tue Dec 21 2004How long can one guy live off an old SNL skit? Well, about as long as people think he's funny. That skit you refer to is what every talk show host calls a a monologue or telling jokes about the news. It's like saying you don't like BB King because the guitar bit is over done. Miller may be right-wing (if you can call a Libertarian that), but the show isn't. Politics is only discussed 15-20 minutes per show, and much of that includes varying political viewpoints. He always interviews more than just one non-political guest, from sports or entertainment, and he's always engaged with them, unlike Leno or Letterman. He sucked as a football announcer. He's great as a talk show host. People should try to look past his politics and watch his show. I don't agree with Bill Maher or John Sterwart on everything, but they have good shows. Don't watch them as much, but I wouldn't give them a bad rating.

Tue Nov 23 2004Anyone 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.
