Dennis Miller: Al Michaels
built 629 days ago
Dennis Miller supplies comments specifically for the action figure in both family suitable and explicit language versions. The figure duplicates Miller’s face perfectly, including his salt and pepper beard. Packaged in a clear, see-through front, deep purple and black box, the push button action figure is complemented by black and white and color photos of the real Dennis along with some of his more colorful quotes. “That’s it Cha Cha, ya found the button…Vertebra four. Now press it and move away from the doll, what are ya a chiropractor?”

As a general rule, Dennis Miller doesn't give a rat's hindquarters for filmmaking (now, that is refreshing for an S.N.L. alum), and suspects that he got this particular part because one of the Baldwin brothers flaked. His aversion to acting aside, he had a substantial role in the Wesley Snipes flick "Murder at 1600 Pennsylvania," in which he played sniveling cop to Snipes' supercop.

In 1992, following his departure from Saturday Night Live, Miller launched a late night TV talk show, The Dennis Miller Show, syndicated by Tribune Entertainment. The Dennis Miller Show was among the first "alternative" talk shows, featuring cutting-edge bands and other groundbreaking guests not seen on other late-night programs of the time. For example, Toad the Wet Sprocket made their national television debut on the show, and Henry Rollins stopped by more than once to chat with Miller and perform spoken word. [9]Andy Summers, formerly of the band The Police, led the house band, and Nick Bakay was the announcer. The show staff boasted a veritable who’s who of past and future performers, writers, and producers of note including Nick Bakay, Todd Baker, Mark Brazill ("That 70's Show"), Eddie Feldmann, David Kohan & Max Mutchnick (creators of "Will & Grace"), Norm MacDonald, Bob Odenkirk ("Mr. Show"), John Riggi, Kevin Rooney, Herbert Sargent (Saturday Night Live), Drake Sather, and Dave Thomas ("Second City TV").

Anybody remember Miller's talk show? It was on for about a month or two in the early 90s. Ex-Police guitarist Andy Summers was the bandleader. After a few weeks they had clearly developed a withering hatred of each other - they were just glaring holes in each other during the 'bandleader banters with the host' schtick. Meanwhile the show was collapsing - Miller was so bad as a talk show host. Totally unable to feign any interest at all in another person for even 10 minutes.

"Dennis was, in the beginning, always too hip for the room," said Mark Lonow, co-owner of the Improv with Friedman. "He was too erudite. His references were so 'in' . . . people were like, 'Where did that come from?' But when you first saw him, you could see the brightness. You couldn't tell if he was going to be a star, because you didn't know the business hunger. But a very smart comic."
