It's not going well for Miller and CNBC.
From the NYPost
DENNIS Miller is taking a two- week hiatus from his new CNBC talk show - which is being remade while he's gone.
"The main thing we're going to do differently is to have a studio audience," consulting producer Steve Friedman told The Post. "We're not doing the 'Tonight Show' - we want it more like a nightclub, and we're looking at an audience of around 100 people a day." Miller has, thus far, worked without a studio audience - relying only on laughs from his crew.
"The best way to look at it is that's the way TV is - it's trial and error, and you want to keep the trials and eliminate the errors," Friedman said. "No TV show starts off 100 percent great."
Hahaha. Miller's show comes close to starting off 100% horrible, though. Very hard to watch for more than a few minutes - the mind eventually rejects so many obvious yet poor efforts to be timely humorous.
Here's a nice review from the Valley News Dispatch:
Although it's probably too early to predict whether the show will be successful, "Dennis Miller" appears to be yet more evidence of a disturbing trend for Dennis Miller.
He's not that funny anymore.
Instead, it seems pretty obvious that Miller's evolving politics have informed his thinking to the detriment of his humor.
If Miller makes it to the beginning of baseball season I'll be surprised. No way he makes it to the All Star break.
