The show was in the format of 5 mini versions of his show, Dennis Miller Live. They each included a monologue, rant, guest (always Norm McDonald, making "cock" references), and Big Picture segment. Each segment even had an instrumental version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" done in music appropriate to the era of time discussed. In fact, the version of the song for the 1980-2000 segment was an actual instrumental recording of the song for radio stations with a "beautiful music" format.
