Dennis Miller daily via Westwood One

...Then again, Mort had a legitimate talent for talk radio and TV. Miller? How many suspect he'd do best to go back to his old kiddie TV show in Pittsburgh and call it a day for national media?...

this is an interesting thread. I have had the pleasure of seeing Miller do an hour and a half corporate stand up, and he was very entertaining. He was pretty good on SNL ( remember Weekend Update? ), but he was terrible on NFL broadcasts and his late night show was a bomb like Rush'.

But in all those situations, he didn't have the magic ingredient: live callers. I might listen to Dennis go head to head with JOe 6 pack for the intrinsic value alone. I bet he might do OK in this format!

...wrong. Miller had live callers on his HBO show, and, IIRC, his CNBC show. He handled those so badly they were eventually phased out of the program structure by the last days of both...

I stand corrected. I never watched any of those programs, but what you say is true. This does not bode well for Miller

The question is where are going put Miller's. The airwaves are filled with right wing talkers.  With the exception of Mark Levin and the success of his roll-out (at the expense of fading Michael Savage and local talkers) most roll outs of new conservatives have failed. e.g. Scarborough and Gibbons.

Thanks for the updated, Bob.

Time will tell if his show will be any good, but I hope he gets his chance.
