After his stint on ''SNL'', Miller hosted a short-lived late night talk show ''The Dennis Miller Show''. After the show's cancellation but before it went off-air, Miller began indulging in long-winded and humorous rants about social and political issues. The rants created such a stir that Miller parlayed them into a successful [=HBO=] talk show, ''Dennis Miller Live'', which combined a celebrity interview and a Weekend Update-like "news" segment with a humorous rant from Miller about a specific topic each week. The show ran from 1994–2002. During this time, Miller also made a famous but abortive attempt at NFL color commentary on ''Monday Night Football'' from 2000–01, where his trademark obscure references were poorly received by football fans.
Although Miller's politics have never been confined strictly to one side of the political spectrum (he's often described himself as "socially liberal and fiscally conservative"), his commentary began to shift noticeably to the right after the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror terror attacks of September 11]], causing an upheaval in his fan base. He is currently a regular contributor on the Fox News channel. Since 2007 he's also hosted his own radio show called ''The Dennis Miller Show''.

Though Miller acknowledged that he wasn't good at acting in sketches and felt much more at home as a Weekend Update anchor (which provided an opportunity for him to do his stand-up), there were rare times when he was in sketches. His recurring characters were Koko, a forest sprite in the short-lived recurring sketch "Miss Connie's Fable Nook", and Steve, a sarcastically observational stand-up comic (seen in a season 11 episode hosted by Creator/JayLeno and a season 13 episode hosted by Creator/TomHanks). His celebrity impressions include Nathaniel Crosby (Music/BingCrosby's son), US senator Gary Hart (whose 1988 presidential campaign was derailed by a sex scandal), and Music/GeorgeHarrison from Music/TheBeatles.
