From this morning's Page Six:

Dennis Miller doesn't have much luck with sports. He was unceremoniously dumped by ABC as a commentator for "Monday Night Football" in 2002, and now his Versus cable channel show, "Sports Unfiltered With Dennis Miller," looks destined for the scrap heap after just three months. "Frankly, it doesn't look good," a former staffer tells Santa Barbara News-Press columnist Richard Mineards.

Previously: "Unless you're a connoisseur of the high artform known as "A.M. talk," you might not be aware that the smarmy, smirky, obscure-reference-loving comedian/commentator Dennis Miller has recently RADICALLY REINVENTED himself as a smarmy, smirky, obscure-reference-loving right wing radio host." — Eli Braden, "Dennis Miller's Got A Brand New Bag," 23/6

1. that just breaks my heart

:sarcasm:


:rofl:

[SKKY]

2. Meh. I stopped caring about Dennis a long time ago...

[mkultra]

3. he was funny in the past

Then someone hit him on the head with a pipe or something. Not sure but he suffered some kind of brain damage.

[speedoo]

4. Awwww. He deserves to be dumped!!

Stupid, RW, no talent jerk.

[RedStateShame]

5. Uh oh.

I thought his first right-turn came shortly after his first cancellation waaaaaaaaayyyy back in the early 1990s, as a reactionary "nyah-nyah" at the mostly liberal entertainment industry that couldn't afford his bombing skills. A few more firings and cancellations, and I'm afraid we may hear of him next as Grand Wizard Dennis Miller.

6. He was on the air again?

Who knew? :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

16. That was my first thought, too

[vireo]

7. To be quickly followed by the cancellation of his game show

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117975128.html?categoryid=14&cs=1

He's probably already broken Tim Conway's record for most flops.

[ixion]

8. I figured he'd be a fry cook at McDonald's by now

he had a great start... I really enjoyed his monologues on his HBO show. Then he suffered some type of brain damage and became a neocon, and the neocons hated him, so now he's just another no-talent windbag. :rofl:

9. Dennis Miller is like a bad restaurant location.

[Buzz Clik]

10. Miller cast his lot with Bush and the neocons -- bad career move.

Miller likes his snooty-sounding, sorta-intellectual humor woven into long-winded rants. It works real well with college students, but college students never followed Miller when he went way, way right. So, Miller has been left trying to play to small right-wing crowds of students. No good. He has no appeal with the signigicantly larger population of rightwing knuckledraggers who don't get his humor.

At this point, Miller must be shaking his head and muttering, "What was I thinking?"

13. Dennis Miller humor ...

Dennis Miller humor seems to be looking up obscure things in an encyclopedia and then criticizing others for not knowing it. When I like Dennis Miller's humor, I was an asshole.

11. Who??? n/t

[Kurovski]

12. Getting dumped is his hobby. Can't a man have a hobby?

:shrug:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. He is streaking towards the setting of the all-time strike out record

The man has high ambitions and boundless energy for failure.

[0007]

15. Good. Now that will give him more time to hang with Bill O'Reilly.

[Perry Logan]

17. From the first time I saw him, I knew he had no idea what was going on.

You could tell from the start he never watched the news, much less read it.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

18. Dennis never met a rating he couldn't lose.

:evilgrin:

[Initech]

19. Now I dont want to get off on a rant here, but um, it seems nobody cares what I think.

:rofl:

Another one bites the dust! Another one bites the dust!

[mwb970]

20. "See you later, Cha Cha." /nt

[asdjrocky]

21. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

22. Poor Dennis

I wonder what liberal network mogul he'll blame it on this time.

[Flying Dream Blues]

23. We can only hope. nt

[hoosier_lefty]

24. So Dennis how's the darkside workin' for ya?

The whole "libertarian except for the war" BS was pretty transparent.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. Poor Dennis

There, I said it with a straight face.

......... ppppppffffffffttttttt HAHAHAA

:rofl:
