I guess Rich Little wasn't available

This is just pitiful . . . from an ad in the New Yorker:

The New Yorker Humor on the slopes at Beaver Creek Featuring Dennis Miller

Need a lift this winter? Join the laughter in Beaver Creek, Colorado. On the last weekend in February, The New Yorker Promotion Department's Humor on the Slopes event fills the famed destination with three days of highly elevated comedy. Resort to laughter with performances by comedians including Dennis Miller, appearances by New Yorker cartoonists, a comedy-film sneak preview, and much more.

Yeah, yeah, I know, that's how they can afford to pay Ian Frazier and the rest of the gang. But still . . .

On the other hand, Harold Ross was from Aspen so maybe it all makes sense.

P.S. Yes, "Dennis Miller" is in boldface in the original.

P.P.S. Typo fixed.

I was surprised when Miller was introduced as a comedian by Jay Leno on his show. I assumed I was the only one who would be, but perhaps not.

Miller aside, did the ad say "cardoonists" ??
