No... of course not!

After all, it's not like Dennis Miller has ever ranted... It's not as if Dennis has written three books, one titled "Rants", the other titled "Ranting Again" and the third called "I Rant, Therefore I Am" (each of them making the N.Y. Times best seller list).

For those not in on the joke, "ranting" is what Dennis does best. It's his word for the clever, humorous monologues he likes to deliver, filled with his own brand of wit & sarcasm and the frequent political jab.

Cocky, irreverent, cynical, smug, abrasive - a real wise-ass with a blazing wit, Dennis Miller has made a successful career out of heaping scathing criticism on social institutions and individuals alike. His brand of humor is not to everyone's taste, but his fans are legion.

Broadcast on HBO, his half hour comedy show, "Dennis Miller Live" has won five Emmy awards. It consists of his monologue ("The Rant"), followed by the week's guest and a segment where Dennis fields questions from call-in phoners, and closing with "The Big Screen", featuring Dennis Miller doing the news his way: providing comic captions to accompany candid photos of the rich & famous.

Miller's celebrity guests on the TV show have included Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Barrymore, Billy Crystal, Michael Douglas, Charlton Heston, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharon Stone, Charlie Sheen, Halle Berry, Jay Leno, Ed Harris, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mike Myers, Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano, Burt Reynolds, Michael Keaton, Chevy Chase, Norm MacDonald, George Carlin, David Spade... plus political figures like Sen. Bill Bradley or George Will and other names in the news such as Pete Rose.

If you want to call in during the show to ask Dennis a question while his show is being taped in Los Angeles, the phone number is (800) 522-8673 (good only from 8:30 PM to 9 PM, California time). Phone early, or the lines will be too busy to get through.

Better yet, get free tickets to the live tapings of the show and see him in person. To get tickets, just click here. You'll be able to print the tickets out right on your own computer's printer.

The show is taped in front of a live studio audience at CBS Television City in Hollywood, the same studio where they tape "The Price is Right" and "Hollywood Squares" - and where they used to tape "The Carol Burnett Show" and "All in the Family."

Be warned that Dennis Miller's style isn't for everyone. And HBO's lack of censorship means his "Rants" can turn R-rated in a hurry. So if you're easily offended, "Live" may not be your cup of tea. But if you're a fan of Dennis and his work, nothing beats a little Rant... unless it's the the chance to see it delivered in person.

But as Miller would say: "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."
