Kornheiser is/was pretty good on PTI, and I honestly thought it would work out, but we found out studio show doesn't always translate to live even commentary.


I'd still take him over Dennis Miller and that tragic experiment.

He was. He was however good for a random off the cuff reaction every few weeks that was pretty funny.

Yes, and at one point in the game, Kornheiser said, “the crowd responded with glee.”

Dennis Miller made no sense because his jokes were going to go over the head of every Joe Shmoe blizted on Blatz on Monday Night Football.

"I haven't seen anyone rely on the ground game this much since the battle of Verdun."

"That field goal attempt was so far to the left it nearly decapitated Lyndon LaRouche."

I mean, c'mon it's guys drinking beer watching football.

He did have one great quote though:

"The punt returner got smacked like Nancy Kerrigan's knee on souvenir pipe night."



Which is kind of why I actually enjoyed Dennis Miller. I like those kind of jokes.

Alpha Dog Dennis Miller was so much better than soy globalist Tony Kornheiser or dumb as a pile of poo Booger MacFarland.

That's because most people couldn't get his high IQ humor. He was great on MNF.

Not too long ago I rewatched the Saints/Rams 2000 season playoff game and it was the Dennis Miller MNF crew doing the game.
