David S. Weiss
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David S. Weiss is an American comedy writer. He has written for Dennis Miller Live, CNBC's "Dennis Miller", The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn, and Penn & Teller: Bullshit!. In 2005, he ran unsuccessfully for the Writers Guild of America board of directors.
As of March 2007, he is Dennis Miller's talk radio sidekick on The Dennis Miller Show, where he goes by the name "Salman," or "Sal". Miller assigned Weiss the moniker early in their time working together, due to his purported resemblance to Sir Salman Rushdie. He is also referred to as "Count Dracu-sal" and an eerie organ music cue (Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor) is played whenever he makes funny and/or cryptic remarks that reflect his penchant for black comedy. Miller also frequently refers to "Sal" as his "go-to Jew", when he needs some inside information on Jewish culture and customs. Weiss is a Banjo player.
Weiss is currently developing a segment for the Dennis Miller Show entitled, "Salman Sez." In it, Weiss will field questions from the audience, offer commentary on current events, and overthrow Miller as the show's lead.
