STEPHANIE MILLER

Comedienne and progressive radio personality Stephanie Miller was recently named talk radio’s “Woman of the Year” by Talkers Magazine. Miller got her start at Los Angeles’ famous Laugh Factory, and has since appeared on the Joy Behar Show, Larry King Live, The Tonight Show, Good Morning America and The Today Show, among many others. Prior to going nationwide with the syndicated The Stephanie Miller Show, Miller pulled top ratings at KABC and KFI in Los Angeles. Of her public coming out, the daughter of the 1964 Republican Vice Presidential nominee William E. Miller says, “I hope to inspire other gay people to speak their truth…to cause just a cascade of big, gay dominoes, really. We all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us, and I truly believe this is the civil rights battle of our generation.” –CM
