Let's give Dennis Miller credit: the man isn't afraid to try new things. He's been a comedian, an actor, a sports announcer, a political pundit (of sorts), a talk show host, and a radio show host.
Now, he's going to host a game show.
On August 7, Miller will host Grand Slam on the Game Show Network, a new series that will test players' knowledge in math, verbal skills and current events. The twist is that all of the contestants were big winners on other game shows. Jeopardy! champ Ken Jennings will appear on the new game show, along with past winners of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
UK television personality Amanda Byram will co-host alongside Miller. The series is slated for eight episodes.
I'm indifferent when it comes to Miller himself. To me, the real draw of this new game show will be seeing how these champions fare against one another. It could be hosted by an onion on a stick and I'd still tune in at least once.

No message -- I just saw the pic of Dennis and wanted to say, "Schadenfreude."
