A humorous therapeutic show in which comedians discuss problems with the audience. Three comedians take turns calling a person from the audience onto the stage who agrees to discuss their issue. The comedian-therapists work with the audience member-patient to solve their problem.
In this program, a female partner answered questions submitted on Mino's behalf by celebrities with whom Mino had a close relationship, viewers, and announcers from YTV, the producing station. Mino answered the questions as he saw fit, drawing on the knowledge and experience he had gained in nearly 60 years as an announcer.
Dennis Miller Live was a weekly talk show on HBO, hosted by comedian Dennis Miller. The show ran 215 episodes from 1994 to 2002, and received five Emmy awards, plus an additional 11 Emmy nominations. It was also nominated six times for the Writers Guild of America Award for "Best Writing For A Comedy/Variety Series", and won three of those times.
The show was the brainstorm of HBO honcho Michael Fuchs, who told Miller he could use any forum he wanted as long as he brought in the numbers. It was directed by Debbie Palacio for most of its run, and head writers were first Jeff Cesario and then Eddie Feldmann. Other writers included José Arroyo, Rich Dahm, Ed Driscoll, David Feldman, Mike Gandolfi, Jim Hanna, Tom Hertz, Leah Krinsky, Rob Kutner, Rick Overton, Jacob Sager Weinstein, and David S. Weiss.
