I myself made that kid Booger look like Remington Steele" (''I Rant, Therefore I Am''). Miller graduated from Point Park University in 1976 with a degree in journalism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/dennis-miller/bio/147096 )〕 In 1979 Miller won $500 as a runner-up in ''Playboy'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dennis Miller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
