Dennis Miller to Join Fox News This Fall

By Associated Press


NEW YORK — Dennis Miller is hardly shy about expressing his conservative political views.

The 52-year-old comedian, who has voiced his support for President Bush and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, will talk politics as a contributor on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," network spokeswoman Dana Klinghoffer told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Miller starts Sept. 13.

He will also provide commentary on the Fox News Web site, Klinghoffer said.

In 2003, Miller was a regular guest on "Hannity & Colmes," hosted by Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes. He also had his own short-lived CNBC political talk show, "Dennis Miller."

1. Color me shocked!

:sarcasm:

[davidinalameda]

26. my thoughts exactly

[NoPasaran]

2. As what? A janitor?

[VolcanoJen]

12. BAH hahahahahaha!!!

:thumbsup:

[Fridays Child]

3. What took him so long?

:eyes:

[Jack from Charlotte]

51. Miller will have a problem with Fox viewers......

His schtick is the obscure literary reference. The average Fox viewer is a TFM*. TFM's don't "get" or even want to "get" humor based on TFM's.

Can Miller find a schtick Foxes' TFM's will get? Only if he becomes Dennis the Cable Guy.

* TFM = Total Fu*king Moron.

[Czolgosz]

58. "Dennis the Cable Guy" -- lol

[Blue Belle]

59. It didn't work on his Monday Night Football commentary...

why would it work on Fox???

[MrCoffee]

Dennis Miller is Officially Dead to Me.

[C_U_L8R]

4. why not?

all their other "commentators" are unfunny clowns as well

[ThomWV]

5. Not The First Case Of Rats Boarding A Sinking Ship

FOX is in trouble. I am pleased.

[hobbit709]

6. Another reason not to watch faux

As if I needed one in the first place.

[AndyA]

7. What? Is he still alive? I guess those Net Zero commercials aren't

paying the bills.

He was a mediocre comedian and actor, he'll be even less of a personality on Faux News, of course if he's going to be on TV, that's where he should be. He'll fit in perfectly with the rest of the bigoted, small minded Nazis there.

[northernsoul]

8. Watch FAUX ratings tank even farther

Y'know, seeing as what a ratings boost Dumbass Miller provided to Monday Night Football and CNBC.

[TlalocW]

9. Oh, goody

He used to be pretty funny and tended to be pretty even-handed when making fun of politicians, etc., but when he saw the ways political winds were blowing, he turned into another Rush, whose humor typically is the kind that attacks people who can't defend themselves. That kind of humor has a very narrow (32% - backwash) audience.

TlalocW

[patrice]

10. Of course.

Dennis Miller is stupid.

[gratuitous]

11. Will he bring the monkey in a package deal?

Or did the monkey get a better agent?

[hatrack]

21. I was hoping the chimp would return!

:eyes:

[Occulus]

I am Joe's complete lack of surprise n/t

[Jim Warren]

13. Flops

Among his many failures, films, stand-up comedy, failed commentator on Monday Night Football, in short anything after his limited success as bit player on SNL.

Too bad he don't have a poppy like junior does.

[stop the bleeding]

14. all shit generally ends up in the same place n/t

[Richard Steele]

15. Dennis Miller's CAREER should sue him for 'defamation of character'.

[gatorboy]

16. I saw his latest special on HBO not too long ago.

It sounded like he was trying to weasel his way back into the arms of the mainstream with some of his jokes he told but obviously there were no takers.

Fox is always the last resort for right wing extreme meatball heads

[GOPBasher]

17. The loser isn't even funny. eom

[PhilipDC]

22. Miller

MNF did it to him--he spent WAY too much time with that arch-conservative windbag Al Michaels.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

31. Al Michaels is another ass wipe that should be relegated to Faux

[Greyhound]

49. He's AOL-Time-Warners ass-wipe. Not much difference IMO. n/t

[GOPBasher]

45. I didn't know Michaels was a conservative.

Miller was so awful on MNF anyway.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Chimichurri]

18. The average Fox watcher won't be able to understand

all those big words he uses.

[Greyhound]

29. After his disastrous stint on Monday Night Football, where, I swear

to Dog, he used a reference to Pliny in his first broadcast, he has dumbed his shtick way down. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[mr_hat]

34. The Elder, IIRC.

[Greyhound]

36. yep, did you see it? I did and it was pretty funny IMO, but it was obvious

he had no idea who his audience was. BTW I think he was funny 10+ years ago, but is just a pathetic sell-out now.

[tabasco]

35. As if he is some kind of intellectual.

Miller consults an encyclopedia and comes up with tidbits to make himself sound smart (doesn't work).

[Greyhound]

39. He is the definition (I think) of an asshat, but he is an intellectual

the product of an old-fashioned liberal education. Watch his early stand-up, he's not faking it. He, like most of his baby-boomer compatriots, just sold out

[tabasco]

42. We can part ways on this one, my friend.

Miller is as phony as they come.

[Greyhound]

44. completely phony, but a well educated phony. No argument here. n/t

[tabasco]

53. I never was one to say college degrees = intelligence,

but I am underwhelmed by a journalism degree from Point Park College (especially from a guy that portays himself as some kind of satirical genius).

[Greyhound]

54. Point taken.

:hi:

[kskiska]

19. Will viewers be paid to watch?

…like on his own show? And will he have his chimp sidekick with him?

[spag68]

20. Miller

I'm ashamed to admit that this a-hole is from my Pgh. What a disgrace!

[mcscajun]

23. There's a long overdue move.

The rest of his career seems to be in the toilet, so why not complete the job?

[lpbk2713]

24. Miller couldn't find any honest work and he said he would work cheap.

I always thought Faux news was a comedy venue. Now the addition of this shill proves it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. What took him so long?

[Dora]

27. FOX: The mulligan for failing conservative entertainers.

Is that the right term? A "do-over"? :shrug:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

28. We laugh AT you Dennis...not with you.

:rofl:

[underpants]

30. Are they going to pair him with Jackie Mason?

WOW won't THAT be fun!

[lpbk2713]

32. He had a chimp for a sidekick on that last show that tanked.

That same shtick might just work again .....

[lonestarnot]

33. heh heh heh, he's so over.

[Johonny]

37. I feel bad for him

He use to have a good act, good writers and a decent grasp of reality. Now he's allowing himself to be used by insanity as a prop. He must really be finished.

[adarling]

38. when will he fade away

he isn't a funny comedian and he was awful on saturday night live....well hopefully he spoils there like he does everywhere he goes. Look what happened with Monday night football :)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

40. Every piece of crap is getting a job

The insane Smerconish clown was on MSNBC hosting news coverage this morning. I don't know how long he's had that job doing the morning news, but I thought Michael Smerconish was just an occasional psychopath appearing on Tweety's show. Now it looks like he's being paid to be insane on a regular basis.

Lately it seems like the bigger the piece of crap someone is, the more likely they are to land a job on cable news.

[sinkingfeeling]

41. Another, made in heaven, match.

[SoCalDem]

43. What took him so long?

I expected him to go there when his crappola show got the ax.

[Swamp Rat]

46. Dennis who?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



Dennis will fit right in at FUX Nooz.

[oc2002]

47. Flop Alert on Fox. Miller is so pedictably stupid, he will fit right in.

nt.

[leesa]

48. He must have a really bad agent.

[sendero]

50. This guy is like a yeast..

.. infection that just won't go away. Why does anyone hire this stupid douchebag? He's not funny, he's not insightful, and his mouth looks like an asshole with dentures.

[Initech]

52. Great, as if Fox News needs another arrogant, loud-mouthed blowhard!

[mwb970]

55. I'll tune away if I see him.

Just like I do now for Hannity and Coulter. Certain faces are not allowed on my TV screen.

[MissB]

56. *snort*

And it's a fine place for him.

[spanone]

57. Good, then I'll never see him. An embarassment to the comedic community.

[HughBeaumont]

60. Mr. "9/11 Changed Me" comes home!

He'll be right cozy with colleagues like Brian "Merkinball" Kilmeade, Shillvuto and Football Field Jaw.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

61. dennis will get a chance to bomb on tv a FIFTH TIME

dennis' abc show-cancelled
hbo show-cancelled
football gig - he was canned
cnbc show-cancelled

rightwingers keep getting second chances, but donahue gets canned after 4 months, despite having the highest ratings on msnbc (despite execs denying him half of his guests and making him put on screaming 2 rightwingers like neil boortz and steve malzberg for every 1 liberal guest)

can we please bury the liberal media lie, now?

[raysr]

62. I thought *

would be hiring him. He's quite a catch.

[H2O Man]

63. Good.

I think that Fox is a good place for him. I've never liked anything about him.

[WernhamHogg]

64. Good!

I wish every last big mouthed Repuke commentator would hurry up and sign on with Fox "News". That way they will all be in one place and it will make it that much easier to avoid them all.

[tsuki]

65. Another Republican Comedian like Rush, Hannity & O'Reilly.

The definition of sick comedy.
