HAHA! They now have to PAY people to WATCH The Dennis Miller Show!

While slogging thru the depressing task of looking for a job online, I did find one little gem that BRIGHTENED my day on Craig's List!

(love the little tagline at the bottom, calling it a "part-time job." Indeed!)

eom

And they want a photo? Why do I have the urge to fax them a photocopy of my ass?

We should all send photos of our asses! Good one!

Be sure to bring it up next time that former Repuke Congressman on Faux asks Mike Malloy about "losing" his radio show.

I personally would watch his show for $20 a nite, plus free beer.

I still maintain that they really need to bring THE SAVAGE WEINER! on there as a co-host if they want to firmly cement those ratings right where they belong... :evilgrin:

Is he as idiotic and blustering like our beloved addict rush?

woman....It's so phony the way all these right wing shows, like Miller's...put African Americans on as the conservative voice on the show....For God's sake what is the percentage of black Republicans...10%?....They keep trying to convince America that it's otherwise....CNN uses Armstrong Williams etc....Who do they think they are kidding?...Pathetic!

Cost per audience member: $15

Knowing the Dennis Miller show is moments away from cancellation: Priceless

He's not funny. He sucked as a football commentator. Now, he wants to be a Rush Slimeball wannabe and have a right wing talk show.

I guess it's who you know and not what you know.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

could you tell me please what Dennis Miller show is all about? I tried hard many times to concentrate on his diatribe but I could not really figured out his talking points if any and all I got is his sardonic forced laughter short of any sort of punchline... Please enlighten me ...

:-)

:hi:

Thanks a lot for your warm welcome I whish you the best

"Could you tell me please what Dennis Miller show is all about?"

What a great question! Even he doesn't know. Judging from what he's putting out, and the reaction to it.

Dennis Miller is still searching for a viable career in showbiz. He never should have left "Saturday Night Live." That was his high point and he's never matched it since. He's gone exactly nowhere since SNL. Except farther downhill. He already reeked of has-been, before this show, but it's even stinkier around him now.

I don't believe in rewarding my children for bad behavior. Why should I reward someone like Dennis Miller with my viewership, for HIS bad behavior? It's the same as the "don't buy books by crooks" ethic from the post-Watergate era. About all you'll get from him, at all, anymore, is his sardonic forced laughter short of any punchline. If "punchlines" there be. It's more like punch-drunk. It's a shame because I actually enjoyed his schtick on SNL. But that's history. He doesn't tell jokes anymore. Now, he is one.

has told me that many taped shows do this to fill out an audience, so that you never see an empty seat. This has been going on for many years.

If you want to watch a taping of a top show, you'd better send away for tickets far in advance, or else know somebody who can get you in.

The "Audience Extras" type, paid audiences, are for the worst shows. It may not be unusual to pay extras to fill the audience at a taping, but it is a sad sign.

Even when I worked on game shows, we got an audience -- usually had to bring in a door prize though.

It takes a lot of waiting to get in to say, The Tonight Show or any top 10 sitcom. I often attend Bill Maher tapings, they're a good time -- but haven't been paid yet!

in the audience when Roseanne Barr had her short lived talk show (bout 5 yrs ago), they were filming at CBS studio which is about an hour from where I live. I told the fellow I didn't want to and I didn't have time but he kept on and on literally begging me but I just didn't want to do it and still said NO.

We usually go to the Authentic Cafe after -- $30 would pay for dinner EZ there! But the thing is....when they pay you it's usually for a really good reason, some of those shows are really painful to sit through.

The good thing about Miller's show is I think they do it without stopping tape? So at least you'd be in & out relatively quickly, whereas some of the sitcoms, they take 3 hours to tape one half hour episode....and retake all the jokes a hundred times.

piece of shit...and it only is even worse than that because Miller is pathetic. How has this guy managed to get these jobs. He's a loser...a sad, nothing, stupid, non-creative loser. Please tell me we won't see him reappear somewhere else!!

Have you noticed his beard? this is a universal characteristic believe me, it is a sort of natural bumper sticker for those who want to expose their faith for all the see . But they keep it of reasonable length so they can still pretend to be progressive . It is the first unmistakable indication the word over. I am just amazed to see the striken simililarity in the use of body parts by homo sapiens to advertise their shallow faith. >This artifice is mostly used by newly born again from all monotheist religion.

But the last one had His Snarky-ness Dennis Miller mugging to the camera sort of like, show me some love baby model type poses, complete with lame-o generic power pop music... OMG! What an assclown!

Yeah, don't count on a retirement party. You too, Miller.

What a pathetic, desperate shill.

Damn lib'rul media. :eyes:

but the world hates us enough already.

That's what's great about America.

if only to see if the producer coaches the audience on how to cheer for cons, and boo libs

:puke:

Wouldn't it be great if a bunch of us did this and heckled him throughout the show?
It's mutiny!

:evilgrin:

:evilgrin:

No, not that chimp, but the chimp on Miller's faux talk show. Having the chimp sit behind a desk and scratch just might be a big improvement over Miller's unimaginative attacks on Liberals and totally unfunny jokes.

I always wonder where Atrios (http://atrios.blogspot.com /) gets his hot poop. CaptainMidnight posted this at 08:21 PM and twenty minutes later Atrios picked it up.

I'm in LA.

Thanx for pointing this out, Snellius, about Atrios. I'm actually quite tickled IF something I found ended up at Atrios, or if I "scooped" him. Reality is, I'm looking for a decent friggin' job, and stumbled upon the ad on Craigs List.

Actually, since you pointed out Atrios, I just sent this over to Michael Stinson (symbolman), and his co-hort from TakeBackTheMedia - I sorta know them - and maybe they'll post it on their blogs.

I really don't believe in kicking people when they're down - I'm an actor, and I'm certainly down more often than not - but in Dennis Miller's case, I believe in kicking him repeatedly, and giving him an incentive to reflect upon all those free rides he got on Air Force One with Bushie Boy.

Captain Mike

On the corner, $15 a toss.

:evilgrin:

Somehow I don't see Atrios poring over Craig's List for political scoops.

Best luck, Captain, finding at job in L.A. I wasn't an actor but I know what it's like to be out of work in the City of Angels with no hope in sight. My route led be to finally get out. As someone once told me when I first moved to Hollywood: "It's like leaving the gas on too long. It's only when you don't smell it any more that you have to watch out."

If you hear somebody groaning in the background that would be me. I wonder if it's too late to reply?

I'm sure the live audience isn't finding it very entertaining...unless they're being paid an extra "laugh at Miller's jokes" bonus.

Originally, "The Dennis Miller" show didn't have a studio audience.

The producers probably figured the reason Dennis Miller isn't funny like he was on "Saturday Night Live" is that he didn't have a studio audience .

The real reason is that people like a comedian to be skeptical. Not to kiss-up to Republican politicians and gush over how wonderful they are.

nt

Dennis shouldn't feel too bad. His peers will understand.

on Fox. I keep thinking I recognize some of the people in her audience from those "set it then forget it" infomercials selling that chicken cooker thingy.

some "comic".

The best comics parody all of us- but Miller is more of a piss-boy, or court jester- only ridiculing the underdog...

Said Dennis Miller was becoming Bush's "Sammy Davis Jr."

(Nixonian reference, for you younger DU'ers.)

Captain Mike

Long hair, hard-rock music for his SNL New opening, drug& Pop culture references...

What a faker- a conservative? More like a hypocrite weirdo.

He says he will not tell Bush jokes. Pretty much means hes not a real comedian.

...I don't know how much his personality has changed, but his political views took a 180% turn. He had a shortlived TV show about ten years ago that had a definite liberal slant to it.

I suppose he adjusts to the times....will he become a liberal again after Kerry is elected?

Oh, man. Pathetic.

Somebody suggested that DUers in the area fill the seats, then sit stonefaced whenever he tells a joke...

Does this mean only pretty people are wanted?

part time sh*t sniffer?

:kick:

without having to be put through this? They should hold out for $60, so they get at LEAST a dollar for each excruciating minute.

What the hell??

:-)

Terry

whatever THAT looks like....ha ha ha ha

I think I'm pretty liberal (in the LBJ sense) and I look like a cop. Or a German postage stamp.
John
Polly says "You do look very military -- the way you stand." Take that for what it's worth.

sorry, couldn't help myself....lol

i had the illusion he was like bill maher: intelligent, well informed, and eloquent. boy was I wrong!

aside from being a conservative ass kisser, he could NOT debate his ideas intelligently so he hid behind a thinly veiled layer of humor. it was sad and utterly PATHETIC!

someone mentioned the stink around him...sooo true!

THIS MEANS THE ALMOST-END OF ANOTHER STUPID SHOW HOORAY! :party:

Edit: Kind of like Rush before him...:P

Seriously.

15 smackeroonies to buy two sixpacks with afterwards. And it'd make great material for a DU article, "As I Lay Dying: the final hours of a dying show."

Or hell, we can go and heckle him. Like my original posting stated, I'm looking for a job, so I've got the time to go and see this tripe.

Captain Mike

I emailed them but without my "age and nationality." (44/citizen of the United States of America for the DU record)

What the hell is THAT? And are you supposed to send them a damn resume or something for the "part time job?" His staff is as lame as he is and you can bet heads are rolling for posting this on Craig's List -- it was on Buzzflash too with a ref to his "dying career and Bush asskissing" or something, bwaaa haha!
