My Take
Dennis Miller is a comedian I find hard to dismiss, even when I disagree with him. From Pittsburgh and Point Park University, he sharpened a famously dense, allusion-packed wit on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update from 1985 to 1991, earning an Emmy for his writing. What I respect is the refusal to dumb anything down; his sarcasm assumed his audience was smart enough to keep up. He kept reinventing himself through his own shows on HBO and CNBC and later as a political commentator, never afraid to alienate people. Love him or not, there is a genuine consistency to his edge that I appreciate.
