EPIX to Present DENNIS MILLER: AMERICA 180, Today

Premium entertainment network EPIX announced today that Dennis Miller: America 180°, a comedy special starring Emmy Award-winning comedian Dennis Miller, will make its World Television Premiere on the network Friday, June 13, 2014 at 8PM ET. In his first comedy special for EPIX, Miller examines the current state of our Union. From the antics of those running Washington, to the blunders of President Obama's healthcare initiative, to our wild efforts to save the planet one light bulb at a time, his take on today's America is both hysterical and painfully right on target. Dennis Miller: America 180° was taped at the Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California.

He garnered three Writer's Guild of America Awards for the series as well as an additional WGA Award for his special, "Dennis Miller: Citizen Arcane." He was also the "Weekend Update" correspondent on "Saturday Night Live" for six years.
