Storyline

A weekly talk/comedy show hosted by Dennis Miller. Each show starts off with a topical monologue typical of evening talk shows. After this, Dennis goes into "The Rant" in which he talks about some subject that bothers him, starting calmly but gradually building into a frothing, expletive-laden fenzy, then ending with "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong." He chats with a guest for a few minutes, then finishes with a news segment similar to his "Weekend Update" role on Saturday Night Live.

Now I Don't Want to Get Off on a Rant Here, but...

Dennis Miller Live is the best Late Night program of it's time, I'd compare it to David Letterman that it's so good. I feel that thanks to Dennis Miller bringing his witty styling of comedy with bashing the public figures and giving great interviews, this is the best thing to come onto late night in a long time. Miller is as smart, witty and funny as any other person in the media, and since he doesn't have to act as their equal, he becomes stronger. A++
