NBC Hires Dennis Miller to Host Show
Dennis Miller, the sardonic comedian who delivered a fake newscast on "Saturday Night Live" and told jokes in the "Monday Night Football" booth, will host a prime-time political talk show on CNBC.

The network said Thursday it had inked Miller to a multiyear deal for the political chat show, set to begin in January.

Miller said he would work four nights a week at 9 p.m. ET.

6. I don't care what you guys say
I've always liked Dennis Miller eventhough he really dropped the ball on Iraq. I'll watch it, except hopefully I'll have better things to do : )

12. With constant hyping by Fox and Joe Scarborough...
he's bound to be very "fear unbalanced".

This prick was at some media event recently- I forget the exact details- and made a Rush Limabugh type ad hominum sleight against some national polotical figure and it was reported that even the conservatives in the crowd booed him.

Dennis Miller on politics- no thanks

Since I boycotted cable TV a few years ago, I no longer have a problem with cable news.

Apparently they have, and they have filled the void.

13. Who cares?
Miller's a whore.

Right wing talk is about ratings and money, not about politics. Almost every former liberal host has sold out for the money. That's what Miller sold out for.
