''The Stephanie Miller Show'' is a syndicated liberal [[Radio]] [[Talk Show]] that has been in production since September 2004. Like its TV equivalents ''[[The Daily Show]]'' and (to a lesser extent) ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', it straddles the line between a straight news show and a [[Comedy Series]]. While Miller and her co-hosts (aka "The [[Mooks]]") comment on the news and interview politicians, actors and other newsmakers on a daily basis, the show has a "Morning Zoo" feel, complete with [[Sketch Comedy]], celebrity impressions, wacky [[Stock Sound Effects]], and an overall atmosphere of genial goofiness. (Of course, if you're a conservative, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on the "genial" part.)
Line 19:
* '''Tinsel Talk.''' "Stand Up News" meets ''[[Entertainment Tonight]]'', as Stephanie and company make fun of [[Show Business]].
* '''Celebrity Hotline.''' Interview segments featuring everyone from John Kerry to [[Seinfeld|Jason]] [[Duckman|Alexander]].
* '''Conspiracy Corner.''' Jim Ward gives the details on a [[Conspiracy Theory]] while the ''[[Mission: Impossible (TV series)||Mission Impossible]]'' theme plays in the background.
* '''Guess the Quote.''' As the theme from ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' plays, Stephanie reads several quotes with a common theme, then challenges Jim to guess who said them. Jim deliberately guesses wrong each time, but his answers usually have a theme of their own.

In March 2012, a televised version of the show appeared on Current TV under the title ''Talking Liberally with Stephanie Miller''.
