So long Dennis, it won’t be the same without you

August 31, 2002

Can someone explain to me what kind of a world we live in when we can avoid a baseball strike but Dennis Miller still gets cancelled from HBO?

The last show just finished, and he made almost no comment about it whatsoever except a final tribute thanking HBO and his writers, etc.

But if you listened carefully over the past few weeks, Dennis mentioned “losing” his job at HBO and tonight said that they “kicked him out”

Why?

Why would they take off a show that hadn’t lost a bit of its edge after 9 years? Why would they take off one of the few intelligent voices left in an otherwise vast gaping blackhole of mediocrity?

Sounds like the same management team that came up with New Coke.
