Dennis Miller was born in 1953 in Pennsylvania and raised in the suburb of Castle Shannon. Of American nationality and Scottish descent, he graduated from Point Park College in 1976 with a degree in journalism. His wit and humorous perspective, which he often refers to as his "religion," began to emerge during these formative years.
Miller's early career involved writing and producing humorous essays for television. In the 1980s, he hosted a teen-oriented newsmagazine show called Punch Line on KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh. He also contributed satirical segments to the program Evening Magazine, honing his distinct comedic voice.
Dennis Miller gained national recognition in 1985 when he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live (SNL) as anchor of the "Weekend Update" segment. His sharp wit, smirking delivery, and clever punchlines made him a standout and earned him a devoted fan base. He remained with SNL until 1991. In 1988, he released his comedy album The Off-White Album, inspired largely by his SNL material. He followed this with another special, Dennis Miller: Black and White, which aired on HBO and showcased his sardonic humor.
In 1992, Miller launched The Dennis Miller Show, a late-night talk show. Despite his popularity, the show struggled with ratings and was eventually canceled. However, he made a successful return to television with Dennis Miller Live on HBO, which aired from 1994 to 2002 and won five Emmy Awards. He also hosted a political talk show on CNBC from 2004 to 2005.
