Dennis Miller is hosting on Turner Classic Movies!?!!?

[Siwsan]

I didn't recognize him, at first, because he wasn't using that annoying smarmy voice, while introducing the movie. I wonder if he's going through another career metamorphoses.

1. What?

That's one of my go to channels. I don't want this! Bring back Alec Baldwin!

[Siwsan]

3. It's a 'creature feature' so it's somewhat appropriate

Tonight is Rodan and then The Black Scorpion.

I think they are bringing in a whole lot of people for hosting stints.

2. Meh.....

He was never funny on SNL and a flop on television. Who cares he's washed up.....

[Siwsan]

5. I think the same thing, but he must have a very good agent!

Not sure if this is a one night gig, or what. I'm a big Ben Mankiewicz fan so unless it is him or Alec Baldwin, I'm a little disappointed. But tonight I was a little shocked.

19. Weekend Update was hilarious with Dennis Miller-

Especially the bits him and Al Franken did together.


HBO never gave away stand-up specials to "washed" up comedians. lol His Black & White special is still one of my favorites from that era.

Most people say Miller isn't funny now b/c he switched political parties, I just haven't seen any comedy specials to show see if he has a funny side.

20. To each his own....

I never go into Seinfeld or his humor, and thought he was overpaid...

On Edit: Al Franken wasn't all that funny either, but I like him as a Senator.

[VOX]

4. I suspect he had a breakdown some years ago...

He was always unfunny with the strained cultural references as a trademark "thing," but he had a thorough personality shift, which is not a good sign of mental health. He also has some noticeable tremors in his hands and face. Something's not right with him.

[Siwsan]

6. I didn't notice, but I'll watch more closely when he's back on screen

His brand of humor wore very thin, very fast, for me.

[Skittles]

9. I must be very old

I swear I remember a time when Dennis Miller was quite witty; as I recall, it was 9/11 that sent him into the rabid repuke abyss

[True Dough]

10. I found him entertaining for a while too

Maybe back in the late '90s or early 2000s. Lost my taste for his brand of humor when he went way off to the right.

7. As long as he doesn't do Sunday Night football on NBC.

8. Say it ain't so!1

[Siwsan]

13. But - Alec Baldwin and David Letterman on Saturdays at 8 should be amazing

The clips they have been showing of them discussing films and film stars are interesting AND hilarious.

11. OMG!

This pig virus is commenting on Classic films like King Kong??!!! Time to cancel my TCM! Time to start a drive to cancel TCM unless they flush this Miller turd down the tubes. If we can't get Miller tossed from TCM then what chance do we have of tossing president cancer out of our White House?

[Siwsan]

12. It sounds like it's just a short gig - Creature Features at 8, on Thursdays during May.

His intro to the first film wasn't bad -but by the time he got to the second film, his wheels started coming off of the rails, again.

[pressbox69]

14. What the devil

does this smug and insufferable SOB know about classic films? It's hosts like Miller that are causing viewers to fear that TCM is turning slowly toxic.

[Siwsan]

15. He took a pot shot at one of my favorite films, 'All About Eve'. He is an insufferable dolt

[pressbox69]

16. That figures.

Miller was an unforgettable Peter Pan, he must play it again soon.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Following the Reagan career arc...

Mediocre entertainment career, dabble in politics a bit, host a lame TV show, then on to national politics!

Reagan made a few movies, most rather unremarkable.
Was head of the Screen Actors Guild IIRC.
Hosted Death Valley Days TV show.
Gov of CA
President.

[Saviolo]

18. Ooh, ooh!

Can we expect a big knock-down brawl between Miller and Ben Mankiewicz?

Ben's one of my two favourites on TYT (along with John Iadarola), and I can't imagine he's too please with Dennis Miller being around

[gratuitous]

21. Is it Superannuated Piece of Shit Movies Week again already?

I can't wait to miss A.I., The Two Jakes, and The Others again.
