Jeselnik's not mainstream enough and he's not cleaning up his act, even for that gig. I'd watch and enjoy it, though, just like I did when Dennis Miller did MNF.

Noah isn't mainstream either. And I wouldn't want Jeselnick to clean up his act.

Miller on MNF was awesome. He was a throwback to Cosell. The problem, however, is that he was the smartest guy in the room, and all the cavemen at home felt threatened by it. Although, I can't help but wonder how long he would have lasted if he leaned more to the left?

My personal favourite:
Referring to: The fact that several Jets and Pats players have played for each other's respective teams in the past, including Pats head coach Bill Belichick, who until last year was the Jets defensive coordinator:

Miller said: "I haven't seen murkier bloodlines than this since the house of Plantagenet."

Maybe 10 people watching MNF got that joke. I was proud to be one.

One of my favorite Miller moments didn't involve him. It was an episode of Family Guy where Peter is watching Miller and he goes on a rant. It's typical Miller ranting and at the end Peter says, "What the hell's a rant?"

I thought that was a clever shot by MacFarlane at the American audience.

I enjoyed Miller on MNF, I was sorry to see him go.

It would be the height of comedy if he turned out to actually be anti-Semitic.

That guy seems to be famous and awesome due only to the sheer force of his will.

Just a blind guess, but smacking Jon Cena in the head with a folding chair?
