Probably best known for his contribution to the Saturday Night Live in NBC TV show, and Dennis Miller Live. This ran for nine years on the cable network HBO.

Some critics say that he is snooty and over-intellectual as well. His comments have elaborate metaphor, with strange political and historical events.

It also has little reference to the pop culture of the modern times. It is said that he has pro-Democratic Party viewpoints. But post 9/11 he has been inclined to the conservative party. The "The Nine Dwarves" were also the influence to determine his move towards the conservatives.

He graduated from Pittsburgh's Point Park College which was also a palace where he did his journalism. He hosted the The Trolley Show on Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV. He then went on to do the Saturday Night Live with his phrase "That's the news, and I am outta here!".

In 1990, he released The Off-White Album, this was a comedy CD. This also showed some political based humor that would affect his later works.

"Dennis Miller Live". - a late night show came in 1992. this was competing with NBC's The Tonight Show. The show due to its low ratings quickly aired off. His side works included voice for Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, as well as commentator for cable network ESPN.

In 1994, came in Dennis Miller Live which he hosted. This was a half hour talk show in HBO. This shoe had no band, lightning or set. He would simply speak to the audience on a dark stage. There would be a guest on the show either in studio or through the satellite, whom he would quiz regarding the topic of the day. call-in segment would also be a part of the show. He and his team won five Emmy Awards. There were 215 episodes.

The show highlight was the self described rants on political issue. His monologues started with "Now I don't want to get off on a rant here..." and ended with "Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."
