Set the snark phasers to stun -- Dennis Miller is in the house. A Pittsburgh lad, Miller was a smart standup comic, full of obscure (yet perfect) pop culture references when Lorne Michaels spotted him and offered him Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update anchor chair. He followed that with an Emmy-winning HBO show, radio talk shows, several best-selling books, and the occasional standup gig. Find extended cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows!
