About That New Day Job

I think I mentioned recently that I got a new job that was eating up a lot of my time.

However, I didn’t mention what that job was, because I was still training with the person who was leaving the job.

As of Monday, I’ll be running the website for the Dennis Miller Radio Show.

On a personal note, I’ve been a Miller fan forever. Even back in his super-liberal SNL days. The guy’s just FUNNY.

And after his 9/11 wake-up call, I liked him even better.

Heck, I even liked him on Monday Night Football.

And now they’re throwing wads of money in my face to make Dennis look brilliant(er) on the internet.

Life is good.

Oh, and here’s a clip from last Thursday’s show: Dennis reacts to finding out I’m his new web guy.

In the future, I shall tell this story as “I made Dennis Miller laugh,” and leave out the details.

  1. Congrats!

    I recently reacquainted myself with Dennis. I can’t listen to the radio at work, but sometimes in the evening when I’m doing the bills or whatever, I will pull up Michael Savage on the internet. I hate it when he has a guest host, because The Savage Nation just doesn’t work without Dr. Savage. So I stumbled upon the Dennis Miller Show, and loved it. I’d forgotten how entertaining he was.

    The best thing about his show, besides being witty brain-food and hilarious, is that he does it all with a smile. Even when he busts on somebody, he does it without coming off mean and nasty.

    Congratulations again!

  2. Er…Dennis Miller is a Mick isn’t he? Charitable as a warm sunrise that one, bringin’ you aboard to do for Himself, dontcha know. Despite the latent Celtiphobia and continuation of the NINA bans yer fostering, ’tis Himself giving a welcoming handshake and the broad grin.

    Sure, and you’ll probably do fine, learning how to keep the place up to lace-curtain standards. Just don’t be succumbing to temptation or tradition or whatever it is that might make you want to fling praties about the place. Miller tries to run a respectable joint, so show up on time, don’t drink up all of the man’s Jameson’s or Bushmills, and keep your chasin’ of the distaff help to a minimum.

  3. Congratulations, Harvey!!!

    Did TEH FRED give you a good reference?

    I’d offer you a pound of bacon wrapped in high praise, but if you look at the Oiho comments, I think I screwed something up doing that for Keln.

    Maybe a quarter of a pound?

  4. congratulations. I am excited because I, too, find him funny but I think his website is pretty useless (at least the last time I visited and formed that opinion). looking forward to revisiting…

  5. Mega bacon, Hiroshi!

    I catch DM’s show occasionally online. If there’s ever an opening on the Talk station that I’m hamster wheeling for, I’ll make a suggestion that they run his show.

    As Rodney Dangerfield said, when you get rich and famous you can’t forget old friends — oh, you can try, but they won’t let you.

  6. There are a few things in life even better than bacon.

    A good Cuban cigar at the right moment is one.

    CUBANS! to Harvey!

    (The ~ could be little floaty bacons.)

  7. Congratulations! It’s time to drink champagne and dance on the tables! (But, much like a Cuban cigar is to a gentleman, there is never a truly BAD time to drink champagne and dance on tables.) I adore Dennis Miller and listen often, as he is on around here between 12 and 3, which is errand time. You two will get along great. Both of you are funny and entirely too smart for your own good. 🙂

  8. Frank – He doesn’t actually know who I *am*. Right now he just knows me as “that guy who’s taking over running the website from that one girl who did it really well.”

    His impression of me is yet to be formed. Pray for me on that one.
