Miller began life as a shitty replacement for Chevy Chase. He was like what Norm Macdonald would be like if he was a bit more wooden. He wasn't bad exactly, it's just that he was clearly a "placeholder" on SNL. Someone needed to do the little news segments, and they didn't have Chase anymore. He had some cool standup routines and some... rather flat material. But he was on the whole, unobjectionable. As a Weekend Update host, he was probably better than Kevin Nealand, but not as strong as Norm Macdonald or Chevy Chase. Needless to say, this never put him in Colbert territory.
In the wake of 9/11 he decided that his commie friends had somehow sold out America to Islamic Jihadists and that the only thing that could solve the problem was Bush being allowed to cut taxes and torture brown people left and right. It was kind of weird to watch. And we got to watch it all, because he was a Monday Night Football commentator at the time. He was kind of bad at it, being not terribly good at unscripted comedy, and he would go off on tangents that were weirder and less germaine than Madden's. But yeah, from 2001 on he went off the deep end ranting about how poor people, commies, hippies, and blacks were letting brown muslims destroy America - and Monday Night Football fired his ass.
And he has been a rabid, and thoroughly humorless, attack dog for the right ever since.

I don't know. I kinda liked the line about a hit delivered after the whistle being "later than Godot." *shrug*
Current pet peeves:
Misuse of "per se". It means "[in] itself", not "precisely". Learn English.
Malformed singular possessives. It's almost always supposed to be 's.

He's pretty retarded, especially when he acts as an apologist for racists like Limbaugh, but of the Fox News Radio pack his mouth is the least foamy.
