A big part of being a comedian is taking risks. From stepping foot on stage to pushing your material as far as it can go and everything in between, it’s like playing a game of Operation with a blindfold on. But that’s half the fun.

Miller's crusade against Ricky Gervais as revealed in his one hour interview with SiriusXM host Ron Bennington, but Gervais isn't the only ill that Miller wants to cure.

With Valentines Day right around the corner, love is in the air-- but is it in the green room of comedy venues around the U.S.?

Hopefully, with a little help from our very own Cupid, these guys and gals will live laugh-ily ever after (and maybe even record a dual stand-up special!).
