01/30/2004: "My Heros"

They looked a little more like "talking heads" than I would have liked, but according to Reuters, reported in the Chicago Tribune today, all went well. "LOS ANGELES -- Former "Saturday Night Live" regular Dennis Miller returned to the NBC fold in style this week, drawing a big ratings gain for sibling cable channel CNBC with the debut of his prime-time talk show Monday night, viewership figures showed."

"The premiere of "Dennis Miller," with guest appearances by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a chimpanzee named Elle, drew 746,000 viewers, more than four times the average audience in the same evening time slot last season, according to Nielsen Media Research figures released Tuesday.

For the show's target demographic of viewers age 25 to 54, the audience jumped 475 percent from last season's average.

The CNBC debut of the conservative-leaning comedian also more than doubled the 307,000 viewers averaged at 8 p.m. by Deborah Norville on sister network MSNBC. But CNBC was still dwarfed by its larger rivals, Fox News Channel and CNN. Fox's "Hannity and Colmes" led the hour with 1.7 million viewers, while CNN's "Larry King Live" averaged 1.3 million. A spokeswoman for CNBC said the network was pleased with Miller's opening performance."

Dennis, maybe you should leave the stick in your ass.
