Dennis Miller - Professional Achievements
 

Emmy-award-winning comedian Dennis Miller is the host of CNBC's "Dennis Miller" (M-F, 9-10 p.m. ET/PT), a topical interview talk show featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Miller also serves as executive producer of the program, which is produced by NBC Studios. 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 recently ended its nine-year run after 215 episodes.

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."

 

Additional Information
 

In October 2001, HarperCollins published the forth edition of Miller's popular rants, "The Rant Zone," now in paperback. Miller's previous books, "I Rant Therefore I Am;" "Ranting Again" and "The Rants" have all been New York Times bestsellers. For two seasons, Miller called the plays alongside Al Michaels and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts on ABC's "Monday Night Football." He was also the "Weekend Update" correspondent on "Saturday Night Live" for six years, before exiting the show in 1991. He has yet to appear in a show with the words, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday in the title.

Miller recently wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special, "The Raw Feed," his sixth such special. Additionally, Miller has appeared on many politically oriented television talk shows.

Over the years, Miller has become both a public and critical favorite. The New York Times said, "Mr. Miller is exquisitely attuned to contemporary foibles...his material can be scathing, his delivery low key...Mr. Miller reaches a bit farther than most comedians for the scorching comment...this smart aleck has an uncommonly sharp eye..." The Hollywood Reporter called his most-recent special "an hour of topical, scathing brilliance that helps cement Miller's status as the Lenny Bruce of the new millennium ... the most cerebral, astute and clever stand-up ever to put mouth to microphone."
