    Cool Dennis Miller Podcast

    I like Dennis Miller, have for the past 25++ years...always loved his very obscure references!

    The comedic pundit Dennis Miller has racked up an impressive string of failures over the past two-and-a-half decades, from the six-month run of his eponymous talk show to his infamous stint as a commentator for Monday Night Football. Miller's trademark routine of mumbling needlessly obscure references, a tradition he started on Saturday Night Live in 1985, is a poor method of commentary for just any topic, and yet his spirit — and the tatters of his career — remain unbroken. After the 2015 cancellation of his talk radio show left him with several years of nothing but the occasional guest appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, the 64-year-old has returned to broadcasting in the form of a new political podcast, The Dennis Miller Option, launched April 25 on the podcast network PodcastOne. The show's description promises that Miller will provide his "no-holds-barred, uncensored take on current events, politics, pop culture, and anything else that's on his mind."


    Naturally, the podcast is rich with Miller's special brand of impenetrable mad-lib analogies. These — as the only thing differentiating Option from sitting across from your racist uncle while he reads the newspaper — are the main attraction, if only perversely so. On Democrats' refusal to move on from the Russia scandal, he says: "CNN couldn't be any more in the 'throw it against the wall and see what sticks' business if they were Jackson Pollock testing a strand of pasta to see if it was al dente while he made his lunch on a hot plate in the spin art booth at the state fair." The overlap between people familiar with Jackson Pollock and people actively seeking out new material from Dennis Miller has got to be in the single digits, and as one of those people, making sense of the joke has brought me no joy. Being able to understand a Dennis Miller analogy is like being able to recognize a brain tumor on your own CT scan — the sense of accomplishment only lasts a few seconds before the existential dread sets in.

    Not yet- I'm planning to check it out..in terms of comedic pundits, him and Jon Stewart are my go-to guys, each on the extreme ends of the spectrum!
