Dennis Miller Lands Sitcom Gig

There’s only one comedian to call if your sitcom needs an actor who can play someone described as “surgical with his cut downs.”

Dennis Miller just re-upped his contract for his nationally syndicated radio show, but soon he’ll be moonlighting in an upcoming ABC sitcom, according to Deadline.com:

Dennis Miller has joined the cast of the ABC comedy pilot “Awesometown” (formerly untitled Adam Sztykiel). The comedy pilot, from writer/executive producer Sztykiel and 20th Century Fox TV, is described as a raw, hilarious peek behind the curtain of modern twentysomething relationships … Miller will play Nelson Burke, the genius boss of Burke Architecture, “who has never smiled and is surgical with his cut downs.”
