Dennis Miller got his start performing standup in New York and LA comedy clubs. He appeared on Star Search, where he lost to Sinbad.

Dennis Miller's big break came in 1985, when he was discovered by Lorne Michaels. He landed a spot on the venerable hit-making machine Saturday Night Live, where he became the the Weekend Update anchor.

Fans of SNL became accustomed to his smirky delivery, high-pitched giggle, and frequently-primped hair - idiosyncrasies that would be spoofed by Dana Carvey, Tom Hanks, and Jimmy Fallon, all of whom have impersonated Miller on the show.

In 1988, Miller released a standup comedy CD, The Off-White Album, based on an HBO special titled Mr. Miller Goes To Washington. A well-received HBO special, Dennis Miller: Black & White, aired shortly after the release of the CD.

Although Miller spent much of his time on SNL behind the Weekend Update desk, he was included in some sketches and did a few recurring characters and celebrity impersonations.

[In 1992, following his departure from Saturday Night Live, Miller launched a late night TV talk show, The Dennis Miller Show. Andy Summers, formerly of the band The Police, led the house band.

Beginning in 1994, Miller hosted Dennis Miller Live, a half-hour talk show on HBO. The show ran until 2002.

In 2000, Miller beat out Rush Limbaugh and Tony Kornheiser (among others) for a job as color commentator on ABC's Monday Night Football.
