Dennis Miller www.dennismillerradio.com
It's been said that Miller is
"One of the premiere comedy talents in America today..." While others
are blunt assessing Miller's comedic stature, Dennis himself
makes a virtue of understatement, but there is
nothing low
key about his career.
Miller is
a five-time Emmy award winner for his critically acclaimed half-hour,
live talk show "Dennis Miller Live" which had a nine year run on HBO.
He also wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special
"Raw Feed", his sixth such special. He was the host and executive
producer of CNBC's "Dennis Miller", a topical interview talk show
featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Additionally, Miller
has appeared on many politically oriented television talk shows.
He has
also been cast in films, usually in dramatic roles, most notably in
1994's "Disclosure," 1995's "The Net," and 1996's "Murder at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue."
