See Award-Winning Comedian, Talk-Show Host, & Sports FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 26, 2018 See Award-winning Comedian, Talk-show Host, & Sports Commentator Dennis Miller at Tacoma’s historic Pantages Theater on April 8, 2018 Sponsor: DaVita TACOMA, WASH. – Award-wining comedian, talk-show host, and sports commentator Dennis Miller will bring an evening of comedy to the historic Pantages Theater on Sunday, April 8 at 7:30 p.m. Experience outspoken takes on today’s hot button and political topics. This show is recommended for mature audiences. Tickets start at $39 and are on sale now. Dennis Miller is a five-time Emmy Award winner for his critically acclaimed live talk show “Dennis Miller Live” which had a nine-year run on HBO. Miller garnered three Writer’s Guild of America Awards for the series, as well as an additional WGA Award for his 1997 HBO special, “Dennis Miller: Citizen Arcane.” He wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special “Raw Feed.” That show, along with the six other standup specials he did for HBO from 1988— 2006, is featured in the recently released DVD box set “Dennis Miller: The HBO Specials.” His eighth special for HBO, “Dennis Miller: The Big Speech” is also available on DVD. He was the host and executive producer of CNBC’s “Dennis Miller”, a topical interview talk show featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Additionally, Miller has appeared on many politically-oriented television talk shows, including “The O’Reilly Factor” on FOX News Channel. Miller has achieved success in the literary arena with four books: “I Rant, Therefore I Am,” “The Rants,” “Ranting Again,” and “The Rant Zone” and have all been New York Times best sellers. For two seasons, Miller called plays alongside Al Michaels and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts on ABC’s “Monday Night Football.” He was the “Weekend Update” correspondent on “Saturday Night Live” for six years, before exiting in 1991. The New York Times said, “Mr. Miller is exquisitely attuned to contemporary foibles…his material can be scathing, his delivery low key…Mr. Miller reaches a bit farther than most comedians for the scorching comment…this smart aleck has an uncommonly sharp eye.” The Hollywood Reporter called his most recent special, “an hour of topical, scathing brilliance that helps cement Miller’s status as the Lenny Bruce of the new millennium…the most cerebral, astute and clever standup ever to put mouth to microphone.” Miller currently serves as the National Spokesperson for USA Cares, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to military families in need. Tickets for Dennis Miller Live begin at $39 and are on sale now.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • 1 Who Brings the Funny? 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History
    Notes 1 Who Brings the Funny? 1 . Obscenity, incitement to violence, and threatening the life of the president are several examples of restrictions on expression. 2 . There have been several cases of threats against political cartoonists and comedians made by Islamic extremists who felt their religion was being mocked. These examples include (but are not limited to) the Danish political cartoonist who drew a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed, the creators of South Park who pretended to, and David Letterman who mocked Al Qaida. 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History 1 . I urge readers to review K. J. Dover’s (1974) and Jeffrey Henderson’s (1980) work on Aristophanes, and see Peter Green (1974) and Susanna Morton Braund (2004). Other work on Juvenal includes texts by Gilbert Highet (1960) and J. P. Sullivan (1963). I have also been directed by very smart people to Ralph M. Rosen, Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2 0 0 7 ) . 2 . Apparently, the “definitive” Pope prose is found in the volume edited by Ault and Cowler (Oxford: Blackwell, 1936–1986), and the “definitive” text for Gay’s poetry is edited by Dearing (Oxford: Clarendon, 1974). 3. The best collection from Swift comes from Cambridge Press: English Political Writings 1711–1714, edited by Goldgar (2008). Thanks to Dr. Sharon Harrow for her assistance in finding this authoritative resource. 4 . The most authoritative biographies of Franklin are from Isaacson (2003) and Brands (2002), and I recommend readers look to these two authors for more information on one of the most fascinating of our founding fathers.

    While lots of pundits claim to know (and care) what's in the hearts and minds of America's youth, Ben Ferguson IS America's youth. At 25 years old, Ben is the Ben Ferguson youngest nationally syndicated talk show host in the country. Ben blends a mix of pop culture, politics and current events in an entertaining and Speech Topics informative way, debating the news of the week from a college-age perspective, while incorporating prominent guests from the political, entertainment, and business worlds. Leadership Generations This caller driven program provides a forum for the vastly under served younger audience of 20 and 30 somethings who care about politics and current events as well as music, movies and sports. Ben's good humored but conservative approach separates this program from the pack of shows aimed at driving ratings through "locker room" humor and stupid stunts. The market of young men and women is not being effectively reached on talk radio today. The Ben Ferguson Show provides a forum for traditional talk stations to reach those listeners and creates a venue for its advertisers that are trying to reach an educated younger audience. The War on Terror and in Iraq have increased demand among young listeners for substantive, news based programming. The Ben Ferguson Show offers an opportunity to reach those young men and women that are hungry for talk radio that speaks directly to them. Ben has hosted talk radio programs since he was 13 years old and he has been interviewed by the New York Times, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Chicago Tribune, in addition to appearances on numerous television programs including CNN's Talk Back Live, Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • June 17, 2011 Premiere Radio Networks and K Talk 1650 (WHKT)
    June 17, 2011 Premiere Radio Networks and K Talk 1650 (WHKT) are pleased to announce that The Glenn Beck Program will join the station's lineup Monday, June 20, at 9:00 AM Eastern time. Beck, the third most listened to talk program in the nation, will join a lineup already packed with top ten talkers Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Dave Ramsey, Mark Levin, and others. Beck's move from across town was completed Wednesday in whirlwind negotiations between the station and Premiere Radio. Along with Beck's program come "At Home With Gary Sullivan", "The Tech Guy Leo LaPorte", and "Handel on the Law", all joining the station's weekend lineup. Operations Director Rod Suiter commented today "This is a very exciting move for us. We are now the single strongest talk station in the market, with the largest coverage area in the area. Adding Beck to our already solid lineup is going to put us in a place where we can do what we do best". The station's Promotions and Imaging Director, Brian Holland, begun the promotion for Beck's arrival this week with a viral campaign. Hitting the internet hard with blurbs simply saying "6202011-0900: The ARRIVAL", the buzz around the local radio industry has been hot. "This is a move I've wanted to make for quite some time. A show like Glenn Beck deserves a station that knows how to treat it. I'm comfortable saying that K Talk 1650 is that station", commented Holland. With Beck's arrival, the station's weekday lineup is juggled just a bit.
