Dennis Miller SNL
Dennis’ big break came in 1985 when he was discovered by Lorne Michaels at The Comedy Store. Michaels had him come in for an audition and David did an audition in L.A. for SNL and that went well enough for him to be brought to New York for a second audition in a room in Times Square.
About 70 people watched this second audition and this was most of the show’s staff along with Lorne Michaels, Paul Simon, and Dan Aykroyd. After the New York audition, Dennis went to dinner with Michaels and Jack Nicholson. Dennis felt that this was just another aspect of his audition, to see if he could handle himself around famous people, so he “just sat there quietly”.
Dennis released a stand-up comedy CD, The Off-White Album, in 1988, derived from an HBO special titled Mr. Miller Goes to Washington, which drew heavily from the observational and metaphor-driven style he was known for on Saturday Night Live, and showed glimpses of the political humor that would influence his later work.

Dennis Miller Comedian
After seeing a Robin Williams comedy special on HBO in 1979, Dennis decided that he had to pursue his dream of being a stand-up comedian.
In Pittsburgh, he began pursuing a comedy career by performing at open-mic nights. He backed out of his first two attempts to perform at an open mic due to stage fright and anger with himself wondering whether the drive to perform was a need for approval from others. He finally made his debut at the Oak’s Lounge on Sleepy Hollow Road in Castle Shannon, with most of his family in the crowd to cheer him on.
He later began appearing onstage at the Oak’s Lounge in Castle Shannon while working at the Giant Eagle deli in Kennedy. Dennis continued to do stand-ups in Oakland and at places like Brandy’s in the Strip District and the Portfolio on Craig Street, eventually saving up $1,000 which he used to try to fast-track his comedy career by moving to New York City.
While in New York Dennis submitted a joke for a Playboy magazine contest for humor writing that was judged by an all-star panel including Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Cosby, David Brenner, Martin Mull, Art Buchwald, and Buck Henry. Of around 15,000 entries, Dennis tied for second and his joke and picture appeared in the June 1979 issue of the magazine. He won $500 as a runner-up in Playboy’s first annual humor competition with the following joke: The only difference between group sex and group therapy is that in group therapy you hear about everyone’s problems, and in group sex you see them.

Dennis Miller Monday Night Football (MNF)
By late June 2000, it was announced that Dennis had beaten out Rush Limbaugh and Tony Kornheiser (among others) for a job as a color commentator on ABC’s Monday Night Football. The L.A. Times called Dennis’ hiring “one of the boldest moves in sports television history,” and noted that Dennis, like Cosell, was “someone who is loved and hated,” a person is seen by some “as brilliant and witty; others see him as smug, pompous, and obnoxious.”
After the announcement, Dennis appeared on the July 3, 2000, cover of Sports Illustrated with the title “Can Dennis Miller Save ‘Monday Night Football?'”. He told reporters that he would not be trying to dominate the show. Both he and Ohlmeyer said his role would not be that of a comedian and stated, “I’m going to try to stay in the background and ask questions a fan would ask. The rants are my HBO show and I won’t try to recreate that. I’m going to try to integrate myself in a three-man scheme.”
Dennis and the new broadcasting team began airing through the preseason, starting on July 31, 2000, in the preseason Hall of Fame Game between the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers.
Throughout Dennis’ Football coverage his commentary was sprinkled with esoteric references.
Dennis and Fouts were replaced by Madden, who was signed on February 28, 2002, for $5 million a year for four years.
Dennis Miller Fox News
Dennis was a regular political commentator on Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor in a segment called “Miller Time”, and he previously appeared on the network’s Hannity & Colmes in a segment called “Real Free Speech.”
Dennis Miller Trump
In the 2016 U.S. general election, Dennis became a strong supporter of Donald Trump, addressing a Tweet to Republicans who were uncertain after Trump wrapped up the nomination:
“Don’t kid yourself. At this point, any vote for anyone that is not Donald Trump is a vote for Hillary Clinton. Also, both Presidential boxes left blank is a vote for Hillary Clinton because, as mindless as Liberals can be, even they don’t enter into suicide pacts with that petulant, whiny part of themselves. If that is you won’t, fine… do it! But don’t bullshit yourself. You’re electing Hillary Clinton because you want to elect Hillary Clinton.”
One of the reasons he opposed Clinton was her support for unrestricted access to abortion. Dennis told Bill O’Reilly, “The left believes in the cradle to grave entitlement. They just make it hard to get to the cradle.”
