Miller Time at Fox News?
Dennis Miller may have found the perfect venue for those rants.
The ex-Saturday Night Live star and ill-fitting Monday Night Football analyst is in talks with Fox News about putting his Encyclopedia Britannica brand of wit on display on the network's talk show Hannity and Colmes.
"We're in conversations with him to appear in a commentary," Fox spokeswoman Irena Steffen confirmed to E! Online.
With ratings on the decline now that the War in Iraq is over, Fox News is hoping the 49-year-old thesaurus-wielding funny guy's sarcastic humor will draw more viewers, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, the news channel is offering him a regular once-a-week slot on Hannity's Friday edition at 9 p.m. starting next month. The deal is expected to be finalized any day now.
Hannity and Colmes is the cable network's stab at a "Fair and Balanced" political debate with top-rated conservative radio host Sean Hannity standing up for the right and moderate Alan Colmes serving as his left-leaning foil.
Miller's an Emmy-winning stand-up comic best known for anchoring Weekend Update on SNL and hosting his own cable show, Dennis Miller Live, on HBO, so it begs the question: What the heck's a comic doing on a hard news channel? (Remember, football fans were asking the same thing when he landed his MNF gig, and that experiment ended disastrously). Then again, Fox does like to play rock 'n' roll over its reporting.
Still, Miller seems to be a good fit for the network. He has been one of the few Hollywood types to publicly support President Bush and his foreign policy, prompting Hannity to proclaim him a "hero of conservative America" during an interview last month, though Miller says he doesn't have a particular affinity for that label.
"All my stances aren't conservative," Miller told Hannity and Colmes after affectionately dubbing them Romulus and Remus during a May 8 appearance. "I am just in a place right now where we're in the middle of a war and it made me feel very patriotic. But I would not call myself an across-the-board conservative."
And if the Miller move works, it'll probably be no time before MSBNC starts speed-dialing Bill Maher, or Jimmy Kimmel rides shotgun with Aaron Brown on CNN.
For those viewers who spend Friday nights away from the boob tube, Fox is also looking at the possibility of rerunning Miller's commentary on Weekend Live with Tony Snow.
Meanwhile, Fox News' main competitor is making some changes of its own.
In a bid to keep pace with Fox, CNN has hired NBC's Weekend Today anchor Soledad O'Brien to take over for Paula Zahn as anchor on the news channel's three-hour a.m. show, American Morning. Zahn was shifted to the evening slot to replace Connie Chung, who was abruptly dumped in March.
Before Weekend Today, where she's spent the past four years, O'Brien previously had stints at MSNBC and as a local San Francisco reporter. She says she's excited by the job change.
"It was time to move on," she told the Associated Press on Thursday. "Frankly, what appealed to me about CNN was the quality of journalism and the opportunity to do more hard news than I had been doing on the weekend show."
O'Brien will co-anchor American Morning with CNN vet Bill Hemmer, and CNN executives are hoping the tandem will offer an appealing alternative to Fox News' higher-rated morning chatfest Fox & Friends.
