Dennis Miller is a stand-up comedian, talk show host, sports and political commentator, actor, as well as TV and radio personality, who earned his fame as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. After his time on SNL, he hosted multiple of his own talk shows that played on CNBC and HBO. He was a political commentator on his own weekly segment, ‘Miller Time’, on The O'Reilly Factor. He also hosted his own daily talk radio program, The Dennis Miller Show. Born in Pittsburgh, Miller grew up as a shy child, not possessing the typical performer-type personality. After seeing Kelly Monteith perform as a child, he began to think working in comedy could be a fun career. Even so, he instead pursued a degree in journalism at Park Point University, but he lost interest in pursuing journalism as a career. He watched a performance on HBO by the comedy great Robin Williams, and he was once again inspired to make his dream of becoming a comedian a reality. He started performing at open-mic nights, and despite crippling stage fright, performed a variety of gigs until he made it to television. Miller authored the New York Times bestsellers The Rants; Ranting Again; I Rant, Therefore I Am; and The Rant Zone. Known for his easygoing, down-to-earth style as a comedian, he is also known for his stream-of-consciousness type of monologues. Miller cites Jay Leno, Richard Pryor, Jonathan Miller, and Richard Belzor as major influencers of his career..
