“You know,” writes Correspondent Wendy, “I was so worried that with the writers strike, Nancy Grace on maternity leave, and the Rosie O’Donnell deal falling apart, that I wouldn’t have enough material for the column.” Fortunately, this story has a happy ending! “Silly me,” she adds a moment later. “As long as Bill O’Reilly is out there, I’m set for good.”

Is Dennis Miller still alive? He’s getting to be like some of those old comics who kept pounding away at us with the same tired old acts for years and years after they weren’t funny anymore. He’s like the Harlem Globetrotters with their bucket of confetti; even the five-year-olds know what’s coming.
Somebody should gently lead him and his glib, faux-cool schtick off to a quiet institution somewhere in upstate New York where he can sign autographs for the senile oldsters who still remember him from Weekend Update and impress the nurses with how clever and mordantly ironic he used to be.

I would love to see Dennis Miller on a show with Oberman. That would be worth the price of admission!

When Dennis was on the Daily Show earlier this year, you could almost feel the pity coming from Jon Stewart. Sad indeed.

Dennis Miller is embraced by the right wing because he lends what are perceived as his hipster credentials to a truly lame cause. Grinding out mediocre dictionary comedy for 20 years doesn’t seem all that cool to me. Some of his best jokes make fun of how bad his movies are.

Olbermann vs Dennis Miller would be like Barry Bonds in a hitting contest with a man with no arms… Only irrelevant people still pay any attention to Dennis Miller, who has been relegated to doing corporate gigs to pay the bills…

DR (No. 7) does that mean that Olbermann is just as stupefyingly doped up with steroids as Barry Bonds?
In any verbal free-for-all between Olbermann and Miller, Olberman would come across as Snopp Dogg compared to Pavarotti.

Karen (No 5.) anybody seeing Jon Stewart must feel nothing but pity. Where is this GENIUS (and all the others like him) without their writers? Who could not read words fom cue cards written by somebody else? In re-runs already??
That is the difference between Stewart/Leno/Kimmel/Letterman et al and Miller. Stewart et al are a puppets, with no words of their own, while Miller is a MAN.

yukon jack, I usually don’t get into wit wars with those so obviously lacking however, in your case, I saw no choice. Your boy miller uses a paid team of writers just the same as Stewart, Leno, and even Shecky Green buys jokes. In fact, only a self deluded sycophantic drooler could believe miller is a totally self-made stand-up. He would be the first one in the history of comedy.

Yuk (9) even the lofty Dennis Miller used writers for his TV show

So grow up and learn something about the drivel that leaps off your keyboard before you embarass yourself again.

How will Dennis Miller be able to make pseudo-pithy, pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-relevant comments now that his writers are on strike?
