<![CDATA[Dennis Miller Explains It All ... On Versus! - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[Dennis Miller Explains It All ... On Versus! - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[Dennis Miller Explains It All ... On Versus!]]> I can confirm that his radio show is pretty entertaining. He does quite a bit of sports chat on it, actually. Miller goes a couple rows deep on the arcane sports trivia depth chart. Not sure how that will transfer to this "skein," but it could work. Maybe.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

As for comics changing their schtick in mid-career stream, I should point out that Carlin, comedy god if there ever was one, went from a pretty loose, entertaining performer to Crankiest Fuck Ever.

According to Dennis, CNBC was "funny" in Roman numerals.

Three months tops for this show. Then Miller might as well move to Vegas to finish out his life as the opening act for Sinbad.

Dennis Miller was an idol of mine since high school. Then several years back I listened to him get angry and hang up in the middle of a phone call with Howard Stern and Gilbert Gottfried, and at that point I realized what a humorless douche this guy could be.

(Speaking of humorless douches, tell me someone else watched that PAINFULLY unfunny Chevy Chase appearance on SNL this weekend. The Weekend Update gig is cursed beyond all doubt.)
