Fact #1: Jay Leno has been the most popular late night host in America for the majority of the past 19 years.
Fact #2: Comedians, Hollywood insiders, and laypeople alike just love hating on Leno, and have been doing so consistently for over 20 years.
Why? In their minds, the reasons are legion: Because he stole The Tonight Show from Johnny Carson’s rightful heir, David Letterman, way back in the early ’90s. Because he refused to simply retire when NBC tried to replace him with Conan O’Brien in 2009. Because his primetime Jay Leno Show tanked, sinking Conan’s Tonight Show...

During his Feb. 8 "Miller Time" appearance on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," former "Saturday Night Live" star and standup comedian Dennis Miller, now host of his own nationally syndicated radio talk show, got some grief from host Bill O'Reilly because Miller was jetting off to the Aloha State to film an episode of CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" without him.
Along with Miller's regular appearances on the "Factor," he and O'Reilly have been partners for the "Bolder & Fresher Tour," a traveling stage show-- most recently in Santa Barbara, Calif. on Saturday, Feb. 25 -- that is a follow up to the "Bold & Fresh Tour" that O'Reilly did with former Fox News personality Glenn Beck.
The day after speaking to O'Reilly, Miller was set to fly to Hawaii to shoot his role in the Monday, Feb. 27, episode, called "Lekio" (Hawaiian for "radio"), playing radio talk-show host Bobby Raines, who suffers an explosive mishap while broadcasting from a luxury yacht.

With Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie on the way, I feel there will now be three camps in the Tim and Eric debate. In the ongoing Tim and Eric debate you have two camps, "Pep-pep's" and misguided Chippies who don't like Tim and Eric. This articles for the Pep-pep's to give to their misguided Chippies to potentially (although not likely as they are closed minded) sway their opinion on perhaps one of the greatest comedy duo's of our time. So let's start with...............(cough).........................................
Cinco!
Cinco products celebrate all that is great about those cheesy nostalgic late night commercials on the television. The offers are too good to be true, the products are often nonsensical and have no practical use, and buying them only makes you a worse individual....so yeah it's pretty much like the real commercials. By the way that's an Apple III in the video there.

During his early days as a stand-up comic or as the shaggy-haired "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Live" back in the '80s, Dennis Miller probably couldn't imagine that, in the new millennium, he would shift his politics more to the right -- at least on fiscal policy and national defense, if not as much on social issues -- and change his career by becoming a daily syndicated talk-radio host mixing pop culture and politics.
For example, the lineup on "The Dennis Miller Show" for Thursday, Nov. 18, features Australian actors Simon Baker ("The Mentalist") and Russell Crowe ('The Next Three Days"), NFL Network's Rich Eisen, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich., who's also a musician and frequent "RedEye W/Greg Gutfeld" guest) and comedian Colin Quinn.
But on Friday, Nov. 19, at 10 p.m. Et, Miller returns to his stand-up roots with "Dennis Miller: The Big Speech," a one-hour special airing...
