Dennis Miller is off CNBC as of Friday. Someone get this man another show. I didn’t always watch it–time and life intervene–but whenever I did, I saw it clearly worked. He’s a smart, funny dude.

And I don’t this H-Bomb comment is going to have him crying in his beer: “It’s a shame. He could have been Bill Maher or Jon Stewart.” Yeah, SNL alum and all…he could only all dream! (I say that as someone who laughs at Jon Stewart a good deal. But Dennis Miller never seemed to take himself too seriously, which is part of his attraction.)
