After a three-year hiatus, SNL alum Dennis Miller is back on the Fox News Channel for a regular prime-time segment. Miller used to do a weekly live shot with ex-FNC host Bill O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor and later toured with him.
Miller’s appearances with Sean Hannity brings some welcome humor and satire to the latter’s often strident show.
One hopes that Hannity, unlike O’Reilly, won’t interrupt Miller while he’s riffing, although Hannity is unfortunately a serial interrupter, and as Miller pointed out on Wednesday night, a long-winded questioner.
“Sean, is there a gas station between me and the end of this question because I’m running on fumes right now.”
Miller poked fun at Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (who he says has “AOCD”), Nancy Pelosi, and Bill de Blasio.
About Sanders, the comedian joked that Bernie would run for president in 2024 so the DNC could buy him off with another house. “Beware of the socialist doing the long-form taxes.”
With regard to obstructionist, gourmet ice cream-loving House Speaker Pelosi and the $24,000 refrigerator in her San Francisco mansion, Dennis Miller had this to say:
“I always wonder what’s wrong with her; now I think it might be brain freeze, I think she’s eating it too fast. She never shuts up, it’s just occasionally you have to hood her like a falcon so you can get some sleep at night…Do you want to know the difference between Nancy Pelosi and that freezer? When Pelosi opens her mouth the light doesn’t go on. That’s the difference.”
