Dennis Miller Cast on ABC Sitcom

Dennis Miller is hoping his second run on ABC goes better than his first.

The actor/talk show host/comedian is on his way back to the network that hired him years ago as an analyst for Monday Night Football. This time, though, instead of calling the action, he'll be right in middle of it.

Miller will play Nelson Burke on Awesometime, an upcoming sitcom starring Ben Rappaport (Outsourced) as a character who moves in with his co-worker (portrayed by Nick Kocher) and his roommate (James Earl III) after he catches his wife cheating.

Burke is the boss at Rappaport's architecture company, a man who - as described in ABC casting notes - "has never smiled."

Miller appeared in an episode of Hawaii Five-0.
