By the early 80s, Miller had made his way to Los Angeles and earned a spot in LA's Comedy Store line-up. Producer Lorne Michaels caught one of Miller's performances and liked what he saw. Michaels invited Miller to join the cast of the popular sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Miller remained on the cast of SNL for nearly a decade delivering popular sketches like the Weekend Update.

He left SNL in 1991 and pursued a solo gig. He succeeded when he landed Dennis Miller Live. The show debuted on HBO in 1994. The show included his infamous social and political rants. From the show's premier in 1994 it began racking up the awards. For four years in a row, Dennis Miller Live won the Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Variety or Music Program. Miller also won individual awards, like the American Comedy Award for Funniest Male Performer in a Television Special for his performance in State of the Union Undressed.

In 2000 Miller's career took a strange turn. He began working as an announcer for NFL Monday Night Football. He brought a wry humor to the normally dry and straightforward commentators. Miller joined veteran commentators Al Michaels and Dan Fouts. Miller adds a unique dynamic to the trio and has football fans chuckling at his one-liners throughout the night.
