HBO dropped the trailer for Miller Night Football, a documentary short about the time Monday Night Football put comedian Dennis Miller in the booth.
Featured in the documentary are Dennis Miller; former MNF broadcasters Al Michaels, Dan Fouts, and Melissa Stark; former MNF producers David Israel and Fred Gaudelli; former ABC Sports President Howard Katz; and comedian Dana Carvey.
Directed by Jeff Cameron (HBO’s “The Shuffle,” “Hard Knocks”), Miller Night Football debuts Tuesday, September 29 (9:00-9:40 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
Miller Night Football chronicles comedian Dennis Miller’s unlikely arrival in the “Monday Night Football” (MNF) broadcast booth in 2000, alongside veteran sportscaster Al Michaels and former NFL quarterback Dan Fouts. Intended to reinvigorate the iconic television franchise and attract a broader audience, Miller’s addition and his distinctly cerebral brand of humor were met with both intrigue and skepticism across sports and television.
Through candid new interviews with Miller, his colleagues at ABC Sports, and vintage MNF footage, the film examines one of the most ambitious experiments in sports broadcasting history.
The film is the first in a series of 2026 “NFL Shorts” – a collection of documentaries exploring stories connected to the game of football.
Made in partnership with NFL Films, the series launched in November 2025 with the Sports Emmy® Award-nominated documentary short “The Shuffle.”
